Seyi S. ★★★★★ : I was looking for a lounge to chill so I had to visit a couple of places around Yaba. Amongst them all, WestEnd stood out. The environment was quite welcoming and suitable for relaxation. The drinks were within chilled and pocket-friendly. The chops were also good, not too pricey. WestEnd lounge has a swimming pool,large outdoor screen to watch your football matches,and pool tables for snooker. Live band on Friday is a great experience. I love to sit down by the swimming pool while enjoying the rhythm. Parking is outside of the lounge, by the roadside. Though there are park assistants, I am sometimes concerned about roadside parking. I always hope the security guys have eyes over the parked cars.
Bassey D. ★★★★★ : I ordered the grilled tilapia fish with plantain. It took almost 2 hours to get ready, not sure why. The catfish my friend ordered was ready in time; I enjoyed it regardless. The sitting area next to the outdoor bar doesn't have a screen to view matches, so depending on where you sit, you might not see the big screen airing football matches. Overall, it was an okay experience, I'll visit again and hope the wait time for the food isn't long.

OVI ★★★★★ : No proper signboard or postboard for easy accessibility. Also, information here says the place opens 4pm but coming here on a Saturday, I was told I had to wait until 7pm before the place would open. That's a bit like deceitful marketing. And with no proper parking space, while waiting, I had to endure terrible odour from refuse dump heaped right in front of the lounge. Appalling to say the least!
Ogaga A. ★★★★★ : The yardstick lounge is owned by sweet sensation, so you get food from Sweet Sensation. The food is just there, hard rice, I couldn't eat the chicken cos it has no taste. But the lounge itself is okay

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing bars in Yaba

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.
