Drink Lagos: The Most Fun Cocktails to Try Right Now 🍸✨
Although we can collectively agree that the cost of cocktails in Lagos is making us consider teetotaling and retiring altogether from the business of booze, there are certainly a few worth your hard-earned coins.
We definitely need to have a town hall meeting to find out when we all agreed cocktails could cost more than 4k in this Lagos . https://t.co/Fg3ZvFbwkK

Whatever your preference — fruity and sweet, crispy and sharp, and everything in between — here’s a round-up of our favourite cocktails right now (bookmark this post! 📌).
Quick disclaimer: Prices may have changed between the time of our last visit and now. Don’t pop off in our DMs.
RASPBERRY GAMBLE
Where: Ki Bar & Kitchen
Location: 31A Oju Ologbun Close, Victoria Island
Price: N6000
This drink was pretty good, came really fast and also has the advantage of being really fun to look at. Alongside some wicked barbecue wings, Ki’s Raspberry Gamble is a win for us any day.
Honolulu & Safe Sex on the Beach
(L - R)
Where: HOV Lounge
Location: 8 Wole Olateju Cres, Lekki Phase I, Lagos
Price: N5000 and N3000 (respectively)
HOV Lounge is new-ish, so everything feels super fresh, including the cocktails. Their drinks menu is pretty straight to the point and no-frills per se, but both the Honolulu and Safe Sex on the Beach were delicious.
ARNOLD PALMER & MOOLY
(L - R)
Where: Sketch Café & Restaurant
Location: 5 Adeola Hopewell Street, Victoria Island
Price: N5500 each
While the food at Sketch is sketchy, to say the least, we really enjoyed their cocktails. If you’re looking to have quick drinks with a friend or a quick meeting, this is a good option.
PINK LADY
Where: The Seetle
Location: 9 Keffi Street, Off Awolowo Road, Ikoyi
Price: N3500
It’s clear they pay attention to the menu at The Seetle — not only with the food, but also with the cocktails. One of our favourite drinks is the Pink Lady, with its drier, gently tart flavour. Magic.
THE SLOW & HERBAL G&T
Where: SLoW
Location: 2 Musa Yar' Adua Street, Victoria Island
Price: N3600 and N5700 (respectively)
Corona almost took SLoW from us and deprived everyone of that experience, but thankfully, we’re back to enjoying it now. The Gin & Tonic section of their drinks menu is epic, so you’ll never run short of options — and these 2 are some of our faves!
PEDRO & ZOBO
Where: SLoW
Location: 2 Musa Yar' Adua Street, Victoria Island
Price: N5800
Ease into your dinner at SLoW with their signature Pedro & Zobo cocktail. And maybe follow up with another? The bar and the drinks are the best things about this restaurant.
PINK SANGRIA
Where: Cafe De Flore
Location: 12 Glover Road, Ikoyi
Price: N6000
Cafe De Flore has a bad rap for the food, but the cocktails deliver on taste and presentation. P.S. if you’re looking to set up a restaurant and you’re reading this, you should definitely steal their bartender; she’s a keeper.
