OUR FEATURED FIVE

Why they stand out.

1^stEDITORIAL CHOICE

Sports bar

CueBar

Why 1st: First for a sports-bar brief: a published drinks menu and clear Abuja address make initial planning straightforward.

CueBar directly matches a sports-bar brief and publishes food, drinks and Abuja contact information. That clarity makes it our first starting point for readers planning that kind of outing. Check the particular event, table arrangements and current operating hours before travelling.

2^ndEDITORIAL CHOICE

Latin American restaurant & bar

Havana

Why 2nd: Second for cocktails paired with Latin American dining and an evening-out setting.

Havana offers a distinct Latin American fusion direction in Wuse II, alongside cocktails and private dining. That specificity supports its leading position in the international-dining shortlist. In the bar guide, its appeal is a combined food-and-cocktails evening rather than a sports-bar format.

Capital Bar

Why 4th: Fourth for a hotel sports-bar setting with light food and live-music information from Hilton.

International restaurant

Citro

Why 5th: Fifth for a restaurant-led evening in Wuse 2; check current drinks and booking arrangements.

Citro’s international offering with Nigerian-inspired dishes makes it an option for groups seeking a broader menu in Wuse 2. It follows Havana’s more sharply defined cuisine concept in this selection. Compare the current menu against the preferences of your group.
