In-Depth Information
( 078-609312; 110 Wilkinson Rd; )
Freetown classic Bliss now has an outdoor bar and
garden area, making room for the arts performance events that happen here from time to
time. Expats say that neither the food nor the slow wi-fi is worth the price, yet this place is
never empty.
Crown Express
RESTAURANT
$$
( 077-447744; 125 Wilkinson Rd; 10am-10pm Mon-Sun; )
A slice of London in Freetown,
Crown Express is becoming famous for its hip, air-con-cooled decor and apple crumble. If
you're eating, the staff will hand you a wi-fi code with your cutlery. There's no alcohol li-
cence, but you can uncork a bottle of wine from the supermarket next door. Freetown in-
sider tip: this place has the best toilets in town.
Mamba Point Restaurant
RESTAURANT
$$$
( 076-618240; 4 Regent Rd; )
A Lebanese-run, multimenued spot that's the sister res-
taurant of Monrovia's famous Mamba Point. The bar area is styled like a typical English
gastropub, but it's the (expensive) sushi bar that's the main draw here. It's also a decent
hotel.
Drinking & Nightlife
O Bar
BAR
(Lumley Beach; 4pm-late Tue-Sun)
You'll feel the strain on your wallet - and maybe your ears
- at this swanky outdoor lounge that has banging music on the weekends. Popular with
moneyed Sierra Leoneans and Lebanese, it also has an indoor club that's separated from
the beach bar by the road.
Plum Store
BAR
Cute Plum Store is shielded from the busy Congo Cross junction by greenery, making it
an ideal spot for a quick drink on your way back from town.
Atlantic
BAR
