If you're in Lagos and in need of both a haircut and a drink then there's only one hot spot for you, Bar Bar. Yes, it's a bar that's also a barbershop. It sounds unsanitary but it isn't. The barbing salon and the bar are mutually exclusive.
Located in what can only be called the Lagosian idea of a strip mall, this place has everything. Manic Pixie DJs that go by Aye, tall men, short men, questionable men, posh men and feminists. You're also quite likely to see me, Afam, half man, half myth, and recovering alcoholic.
With free shots available depending on who you know, it's the place to go if you're drinking on a budget.
At Barbar you can dance like a dervish without fear that anyone's watching because no one is. The people that go here are almost uniformly selfish in that they care only about their good time. They mind their business and wind their waists, which is always and everywhere a good thing.
PS: Beware of the fantastic beast and madman Faratu for he's been known to hang about there. If he takes control of your night be aware that you have entered one chance. You'll wake up at 4pm the following afternoon with no memory of what happened the night before.
Happy Days,
Afam
