Thankgod A.★★★★★ — My visit to The Turf Calabar was memorable. The ambience is modern and cozy, with a vibrant mix of people that gives it a nice social feel. I enjoyed the food and drinks, which were well-prepared and reasonably priced. The service was also on point, and the music added to the lively atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you go to relax after a long week, watch a match, or catch up with friends.

Vivian U.★★★★★ — It is now fenced with a gate that is usually left open for passerbys. There's an African Church to the right which also provides access to the field as that portion is unfenced. Field is large enough to accommodate a 7 aside football match, and host open door events. There's still a portion of overgrown bushes inside too
