Jorge S. ★★★★★ : The Cruzers lounge and bistro is a place you'll love to visit often. From the poolside ambience to the spacious hall and the high ceilings and the organised and neat parking lot...to the dutiful service girls and the easy accessibility...what's nit to like? My association had a convention out there not long ago and we had fun! We spent time at the poolside and had drinks and small chops. We then went into the bistro itself and spent time in there then got the waiters to bring a tent and comfortable chairs outside for us to seat. We sat outside where we watched the bikes Stunts, the car drifts as well as the dancing competition. It was a fun time and I'll insist we host our next convention out there next year...I love the place.

Tolani A. ★★★★★ : Matrix lounge is the best around that area when we talk about space music customer service I give them 99
Jorge S. ★★★★★ : The asun was small but tasty...I had to buy three extra platelets before I realised it wasn't peppery enough. 😂 The fayruz and radler were chilled just right and the girl brought them promptly...they are high on service delivery...maybe because it was early evening and there were not that many patrons but, service was fast. The atmosphere was perfect for me. The wide open space and the nostalgia of seating reminding me of the combined benches and table in Unife central cafe...perfect for me. My friend liked the place and we promised we'll be back as soon as possible. The gravel driveway was a challenge for my fat bib tyres on my bike but, that was easily navigable...pity guys with narrow front tyres on torquey sports bikes...rooster tail paradise. If you understand the last sentence...like this and say "Hi matrix" ... I'll know you're a true biker!

Inaolaji B. ★★★★★ : If you think Bottles Republic is just a place to buy drinks, think again. Breweries to Bottles was a thoughtfully curated experience that took us from the comfort of Bottles Republic to the structured learning environment of Nigerian Breweries Plc—bridging leisure, education, and responsibility. From safety orientation and quality assurance systems to sustainability initiatives and responsible drinking conversations, every detail reflected intentional planning and value creation. What truly stood out was how the experience didn’t end at the brewery. Returning to Bottles Republic, we were welcomed with meals, drinks, cocktail highlights, music, gifts, and a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged genuine connection and networking. As a public health professional and One Health advocate, I appreciate brands that understand their responsibility—not just to customers, but to people, communities, and the environment. Bottles Republic is not just selling beverages. They are selling experiences, learning, connection, and trust. And that’s how loyalty is built.
lawal M. ★★★★★ : There was a delay in order fulfillment. However, when it was finally served, it tasted good. The staff were cordial and the overall aesthetic was breathtaking, especially at night. The night life was something your group could look forward to.

Destd D ★★★★★ : I asked some women who were sat at a corner if they were staff so i could ask for the menu (they were) but the attitude was terrible we ended up getting sold Fanta in a cup full of ice and was told its sex on the beach; There was zero alcohol inside and when we asked for the bill we were told to pay the 12k into the girls personal bank account then was told the money didnt go through in attempt to get us to pay in the personal account again very disappointed and wont be surprised if the owner is seeing hes making losses and a reduced amount of customers

Prof. J. ★★★★★ : Sluggers is one of the "liveliest " places in the lively Awolowo road in Bodija, Ibadan. It was a lot of action with a life band and filled up with bubbling groups in the outdoor bar area. In fact, because we wanted to talk being a Rendezvous for 'long time no see' discussion we moved to an inner space downstairs thats like a ground floor bar extension / waiting room for the upper lounge. The barbecue fish was well grilled with usual additives... Outdoor parking though totally filled up had guards to direct the parking.
