    • Chukwuebuka M. ★★★★★ : Amber karaoke lounge is The best place to hangout and relax The have the best club in Calabar
    • tam B. ★★★★★ : Well well well...if you're new in Calabar or just trying to come on a vacation, Amber's is actually a nice place to go and lounge. It's actually located according to the map a place called Etegbo, popularly known as :fiesta'. I most warn you it's not your typical lounge, here it's more like a night club, expensive drinks and so many rules. The least wine it's actually 20k and 2k for energy drink. The DJ is nice, the drummer is awesome' love that guy, security is actually good, don't like the bouncer there kind of dubious. Watch out for that one. The barman is kind, waitress don't really care just spend your money.

    • Goodness O. ★★★★★ : It was an amazing reunion with my friends way back from primary and secondary school, I feel joyful anytime I am opportune to visit them. At this bar we had snails which are so cheap, goes for 250 per stick that contains three pieces of seizable snails and we had Pomo which are thick and well spice. It goes for 100 each but very tasty. Traveling is a great form of education and wow I could see how calabar men enjoy thier drinks with periwinkle. lol amazing because I never get to see that in abuja lol Prices of drinks are so affordable and safe location.

    • Tausin A. ★★★★★ : I expected better from a spot that claims to prepare their meals a la carte but I was very disappointed with my order however my friends enjoyed theirs. I simply requested that my dish; Isi Ewu, which is a meat dish be made extra soft and deboned; as I don’t like strong, hard meats. However, despite the time taken to prepare it, my dish underperformed and was really hard. 😒 I may give them another chance to impress me on TipsyTuesday but for a quick bite; it’s a no for me.

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing bars in Calabar

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Check recency

    Restaurants change fast. Recent reviews and photos matter more than old popularity signals.

  • Match the occasion

    Confirm ambience, parking, reservation rules, family-friendliness, and menu availability before going.

  • Watch consistency

    Repeated comments about service speed, cleanliness, portions, and pricing are more useful than one viral review.
