Speakeasy — Restaurant in Wuse II

Hi there, So here's my experience with Speakeasy cocktail bar. First of all, it's an indoor bar within a building, and it's medium sized with a capacity of just about 50 people in total I think. The highlight of this bar is definitely definitely the DJ. Now to the break down.

Location As usual, I'd start with the ease in locating this place. Typically it's exactly it's exactly at 4 Kampala Street but it's within a business in a building called 75. So for a first timer it was pretty difficult to ascertain especially in the absence of a signpost or any security guy to give a directive. Thus, this kinda makes you doubt when your google assistant tells you you've arrived at your destination. But that's the only setback in location.

Entrance and Car Park There's a medium sized car park just in front of the building as you approach it. But the main entrance to the bar is non wheelchair accessible as you'd have to enter the building and take the stairs to reach the bar on your right.

Setting Now to my favorite part.... So once you enter the door, you're first welcomed by the spot for the DJ and his setup on your left, and as you proceed forward there's the bar top and back bar top your right. This is well decorated with beautifully hanging dim lights to set the mood for the night right. The bar is an inverted L-shape laying horizontally so you have the short arm of the L on your left opposite the bar top and then the longer arm ahead sitting across with couches horizontally. This is exactly beneath the purple sign beautiful the Speakeasy name I posted.

Services and Menu The bartenders are prompt and helpful. They're not necessarily nice per say but are swift and diligent. They serve the menu and could help you walk through it. The menu consisted finger foods, full meals, local dishes, continental dishes etc. And the beautiful part is the dishes came with disposable gloves so you don't have to touch your finger foods with bare hands or worry about washing your hands.

Prices The prices for the different items on the menu are very very affordable especially because they have quite a variety for a bar.

Bathroom At the end of the long L sitting position, you have the bathroom door father to your right deep within the bar. But this is not a standard public bathroom or bathroom size. It's just a single toilet setting.

Backdrop The walkway before the bathroom has a room with a newspaper wallpaper decoration just for pictures. It's a really nice backdrop with a large mirror and tabletop for personal and group pictures. It has an extra door that allows the bartenders straight to the back bar.

Altogether, it's a solid 8/10 for your indoor partying or celebrations. Trust me, you'd...

I was here for a friend’s birthday outing on a Friday night; stayed till 1am…I literally watched the place go from scanty to full. The DJ is goooood, love what they did with the walls in their restroom, ate their goat meat and chips and it was nice. There was also a surprise proposal which was nice. My only issue is how small the place and maybe they should do more with their maintenance…the AC just beside me was licking and from the appearance of the AC and wall, I could tell it had been like that...

There's no signage for this spot but after asking two people for confirmation I found the door. I walked in and was very impressed with how cosy this spot is. If you are looking for a nice private bar, with a comfy ambience and chill vibes, try Speakeasy. The music wasn't too loud so you can have an actual conversation. The menu has a variety of comfort food options and have quite the array of cocktails. The staff are pleasant and friendly. Will defo be...
