5 BANGING PLACES IN ACCRA YOU DIDN'T THINK OF

1. Marvels Ghana


Come and get away from it all with a fun-filled round on the beautiful 18-hole mini-golf course at Marvels Ghana. It is located at Forest Avenue, Abelenkpe Traffic Light, Dzorwulu, Accra and is open everyday from 10am to 10pm. The Clubhouse has a short menu but you'd be amazed. It ranges from mouthwatering hot dogs, burgers and waffles to Italian-style coffee and ice cream. It is a cozy, child-friendly place and is suitable for all events such as birthday parties, business meetings, team building exercises or just hanging out with friends.
The prices are more than affordable so no matter your budget, you sure would enjoy yourself. With just Ghc50 you can afford to use the golf course and eat too!

2. NourishLAB Smoothy's

For my sweet-tooth honeys, NourishLab is the place to be. It has been in existence for about 10 years now and still serves the best and healthiest desserts in Accra. It is located in Upper Oxford Street, Osu. They offer various blends of smoothies prepared with locally-sourced whole fruits loaded with health-inducing fibre. They also serve sandwiches, salads and drinks. They are open from 8am to 11pm everyday. 

3. Champs Sports Bar and Grill

Champs, formerly known as Lexington, offers an international menu, wide coverage of all major sporting events on eight large screens TV and four projector screens and a wide selection of programmes. They have a lineup for each day and that distinguishes them from other nightlife hangouts. Their organized entertainment events include Acoustic Session on Tuesdays, Football, beer and pizza on Wednesdays, Quiz Night on Thursdays, Karaoke on Fridays and Salsa on Saturdays; to please everyone during the week. Top DJ's like DJ Black, DJ KillerFingers, DJ Big L and DJ Vision take care of the dancefloor. The Accra Champs is located in the Paloma Hotel Complex on the Ring Road.   

4. Urban Grill

Not everyday affordable, sometimes spend for luxury! The shiny new Urban Grill is one of the best restaurants in Accra and for good reason too: the food, the decor, the ambience are all superlative. It is located at the Icon House, a new building that also hosts the talked about Vida a caffe, Coco Lounge and La MaisonStanbic Heights, Airport City, Accra. It is open from 7am to 11pm on weekdays and extends till 2am on weekends. Their main courses range from Ghc65 to Ghc130. 

5. Afia African Village

Do you want a weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of the capital without actually leaving Accra? This is your answer! It is situated between the Presidential Castle and the Jamestown Fishing Harbour, specifically, No.2 Liberia Road Extension, Osu (Ministries Area). Afia African Village is designed to take full advantage of the expansive ocean views and cooling sea breezes. Within its traditionally styled architecture, which evokes the very essence of Africa, is Afia Beach Hotel, Hotel Tribes Bar & Restaurant and Afia Gallery. Compared to many other resorts with similar ratings, Afia African Village is quite affordable.
