Jake T.★★★★★ — Nice venue. Decent food and prices. Very attentive service.
Jemimah O.★★★★★ — Really loved it here. Service was a 7/10; food 7/10; ambiance 8/10. Really that there’s a live band and it gets really interesting. They start playing at 8pm. The pricing is also pretty decent. A good time can be had with N15k - N20k or even less depending on what you’d like to eat. Overall, I’ll give it a 7.5 or 8/10.
Emma A.★★★★★ — I really liked cue bar the times I've gone. The wait staff is courteous, there are enough places to sit and their meals and drinks are pretty good. I'll definitely choose to hang out there again.
Amina M.★★★★★ — The review is just for ambience. My friends and I waited for over 30mins without attention from the waiters even though we called a few. They kept saying one moment and never returned. We walked away out of boredom as there was no vibes even from the music. Guess it wasn't one of their good days.
Eephie I★★★★★ — Nice dining (indoor and outdoor), with friendly staff. A go to when craving to try out a new food yet, want to feel safe with familiar meal options. Meals and beverages are not pricey - very okay for the cost. The outdoor ambience is totally loveable especially in the early evenings. If you are a picture lover, you would love it here!

Nicole★★★★★ — As a single woman or a group of girls please don’t ever come here. I’m from a different state and this place was recommended to me by some friends and i just came here to enjoy a drink, some music and a night out during my stay in Abuja
. They profiled me, some of the staff were snidely gossiping about “ashawo” to my very hearing and they refused to serve me drinks. This is the worst experience of my entire life. I almost cried there in front of the place. Horrible across all boards! I’ll never visit here again if they paid me a million dollars! Kai!

Emachi C.★★★★★ — Went with my siblings due to the advert seen on Instagram and I was utterly disappointed. The place was very hot, I had termites flying around us and entering our drinks and meals, we managed it and just ordered, ate and asked for our bill. Tell me why our bill was a different price from what we were to pay. You claim it was vat and we said include it into our bill and you refused but I should pay for an excess from what I ate.
I understand paying for Vat but why does your receipt show that I should pay an excess imaginary item and refused to include it in my bill. You’re shady over here, I didn’t want embarrassment and just paid for it but you are all shady and I will never advise anyone to patronize this business.
Stephen M.★★★★★ — No air conditioning. Very hot inside. Reasonably nice atmosphere. Waiter suck in a charge for a meal I didn’t order. I caught it after I had paid. It took a week and half to get money refunded.
COLLINS E.★★★★★ — We had sea food Plata and it was delicious, though if you are to order for that they do not have the full cutlery for use in dismantling the crabs legs 😁
It was frustrating to a point we couldn't finish it.
Their mashed potato is quite nice for side. Their cocktail was smooth, I actually wanted more alcohol in it, maybe next time ... Thier lounge is not too massive, but it's got a classy look but not fancy.

Nnamdi A.★★★★★ — The place is nice, but to be fair, it looks better in pictures than in real life.
The reception is absolutely warm though. And their Chicken Alfredo Pasta is the best I’ve eaten in Abuja.
kakam N.★★★★★ — Calm Down Tavern & Lounge is located inside Sun City Estate in Galadimawa District of Abuja. A quiet relaxation lounge constructed especially for people living in Sun City Estate & environs. It is now a popular lounge in Abuja & patrons come from far & wide. The environment is quiet & serene as the host estate (Sun City) is a quiet highbrow estate. Tarred treelined roads, the estate is usually quiet. Good access control also gives a good level of security in the tavern. Obviously, the tavern itself was purpose built, evidently by intelligent, educated & innovated people. Multiple TVs indicate that the place is a football lovers paradise. Extensive cusine (including roasted fish), food & assorted drinks abound. It has both open & covered sections in close proximity. Yound beautiful ladies are readily available to take ones order. I Hail the owners of the establishment
Isabelle W.★★★★★ — What a cute bar with excellent cocktails! Kind waiters. However - please do not announce certain promotions on Instagram when do you do not plan to offer the promotion. We had planned to come for this boozy brunch as advertised and when we arrived, nobody was aware of the Programme and we were the also informed that this will take place in March.
FSL★★★★★ — Guava Cocktail & Tapas Bar is such a lovely spot! I absolutely loved the ambiance, the affordability, and their Thursday happy hour for mocktails and cocktails is so clutch. The drinks are genuinely delicious, and the food was absolutely yummy too.
It’s a great place to sit, sip, and catch up with friends, and it also works really well for a casual date night. The music is nice and not too loud, which makes conversation easy. Service was great and very attentive. Overall, a solid 4/5 stars for me, definitely a place I’d return to.
Olamide O.★★★★★ — My first cocktail order was too sweet, I ordered any and it was still sweet, reduce the sugar or whatever it is that makes it sweet Biko 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Rashida D.★★★★★ — Everything precious reviewers have said and more!!!
As a newbie to Abuja and Nigeria, being taken to this gem of a place was a surprise and delight!! Upscale, laid back , exclusive and vibrant......this place is not "stuffy" at all.
Kudos to the owners who I had the pleasure of meeting.......so humble, down to earth and constantly ensuring that their paying guests were happy and comfortable.
It can be a little intimidating walking into a space alone with so many seemingly successful young professionals all interconnected in some way. This place quickly makes you feel at ease even if you are a woman alone.
Cocktails amazing , DJ and AMBIANCE is the best!!!!
**1 star off for service as I feel there could be a host looking after guests seated alone who may need service against the louder busier tables.
