Kingsley O. ★★★★★ : The spicy goat meat is really good. I noticed your cocktail does not have the ingredients used to make any of them. You can include this as part of continuous improvement because you will save both the waitress and customer more than 50% of their time and improve customer satisfaction. Great place to chill overall.

Amobi N. ★★★★★ : Great location but… The girl attendants were busy chatting n feeling themselves and the place was not what I thought it was. Just one snooker table at the club entrance and the club room is just there. Nothing special. The girl whom I had to go and fetch to attend to me did a miserable job. Being that I was in PH, I needed to eat what I believe would best be prepared by them, Fisherman’s Soup. Which I believe it’s normal proteins should be sea creatures. But the girl came asking what n what I needed and when she came for the third time n asked about what protein would be in the soup, I had to cancel n just told her to bring me stout. When I was about to leave, no attendant was inside the room. I went to the cashier that I needed to pay for the stout i took so I could leave. Minutes later, the girl attendant brought another stout n I stopped her from opening it. And told her I wanted to pay n leave. She went n brought POS, took my card n keyed in the amount (5k), i thought it was a charge for drinking big stout in their club. After paying I made to leave n she stopped me n said how about the second bear 🤷🏽‍♂️🤨 Obviously the noise didn’t let her hear why I actually told her. And they didn’t use invoice to attend to me. Just pretty girls doing dumb service amid a very loud banging of songs from the DJ By the way, I was also disappointed that I didn’t see the ‘girls’ I’ve heard overtime that hang around there (was there between 9pm - 9:40pm) Had to walk down the street to see where they were standing waiting for some potential clients. When I entered Bolt it was the driver that told me I was leaving too early lol. I told him about my disappointment and he said by 12-2am girls fill that Casablanca so much you find it hard to breathe lol. It was an experience 😃

Heaviez ★★★★★ : Fantastic experience as always. The crowd are young to middle age and generally well behaved though usually full to the brim at the weekends. They've got a good selection of drinks and their beers are usually chilled while their menu is rich. Prices are also affordable while the ambience is awesome. Great place to hand out at the weekend.

Heaviez ★★★★★ : Play House in Port Harcourt is one of those old joints that has truly stood the test of time. It has been around for years and still manages to stay afloat, which says a lot in a very competitive nightlife scene. That said, it’s clearly not as prominent or as busy as it used to be. The crowd is thinner these days & the overall vibe feels toned down compared to its peak years. The number of customers and the general social buzz have reduced, which affects the energy of the place..... Still, for nostalgia and consistency, Play House deserves credit for surviving when many others have shut down. The number & quality if tge galz too has reduced tremendously. It’s average overall no longer a top hotspot but not completely irrelevant either.

qu D. ★★★★★ : It was a surprisingly nice experience. Good, clean environment despite it's location close to a busy intersection. Cool ambience. I particularly enjoyed the service -courteous, polite and timing was good. However, it's more of a spot for adults : outfits are rather skimpy and there's a semi naked statue of a dancer twerking just beside the restaurant. All in all, a satisfactory experience
Boma S. ★★★★★ : Nice time reuniting with friends Great ambiance, beautifully and aesthetically pleasing pub

Ugochukwu O. ★★★★★ : A perfect place to hangout with friends, colleagues and/or biz associates in the evenings. Very calm with scintillating live band that makes one's stay memorable. The sitting arrangement is awesome especially the one surrounding the swimming pool area. The barbecue fish is one of the best if not the thaf I have ever had. I am not a tea person but I enjoyed their carribean tea. The staffers are smart, neatly dressed and are eager to attend d to their teaming customers' needs.

Realtor B. ★★★★★ : If you’re looking for a spot in Port Harcourt that blends fine dining, live music, and a premium lounge experience, International Piano Club & Restaurant is the place to be. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere speaks elegance — warm lighting, classy décor, and a relaxing ambience that makes you forget the city noise outside. The live piano performances are the highlight of the night, creating a soothing, classy vibe you won’t find anywhere else. Their meals are top-notch — well-seasoned, beautifully plated, and served hot. Whether you’re grabbing a casual dinner or hosting a romantic evening, their menu delivers quality and variety. The staff are courteous, attentive, and make you feel truly welcome. What I love most is the consistency. Every visit feels like a premium experience. Great music, great food, great service. Highly recommended for date nights, business dinners, celebrations, or just a chilled evening with friends. A true gem in Port Harcourt.
