Never been in the club cos am not a fan of second hand smoke and loud music but I always sit in the out bar to enjoy their sumptuous roasted catfish. The drinks are always chilled and the service fast and efficient. The environment is cosy and great for couples to hang out not a place for kids to tag along. Downside their restroom is not a pretty sight to visit so don't consider going to wash ur hands there before eating.

Hexagon

This is an upscale nightlife destination.

Due to renovation works, the place was open only during the Saturdays and was.... well, no good. Just a terrible place to pick up girls and go to the Hexagon hotel. Well... thanks but no thanks

We couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was to bring a family of 6 to see a movie, we usually spend over €30.00 for an early bird show at home but this was on average €4.50 for adults and equvilent of @ 1.80 for children plus the minerals and snacks were well priced too. its a lovely clean modern shopping and cinema outlet, we really enjoyed our time spent here.

The food was stale and starting to go bad. I won't recommend it. Maybe I was just unlucky though...But I ordered a Nigerian style meatpie and Chickenpie. The chicken pie was average and the meatpie was well past its sell-by date.
