Not really a bad place to hangout,! It if you don't have a problem with smell of fish and all, it's good for you. It is at the heart of VI, opposite Access Bank headquarters.

The bar has stood the test of time and it's located in a strategic part of Gbagada Phase 2. Nice food, Good customer service and their outside bar is great.
