An African adage postulate that: “If a fellow who slept inside a house, claim the following morning to have seen a ghost, what would be the fate of another fellow who sleeps regularly in the graveyard!” This mirror exactly the story of inside E-Bar! The real story of E-Bar is like that of a coin with two sides; or better still, two edges sword producing different effects and imparts! One of the stories (Outside E-bar) was told last Sunday and it was deliberately so. E-Bar has so much to offer that telling the story in a day would be a disservice to our esteem readers whose interest Hang Out With BD SUNDAY is out to fulfill. And for E-Bar, it has set a new record on your darling hang out page as the first bar to be featured two consecutive Sundays!
Our focus this week is inside E-Bar. Life outside and inside E-Bar is the same and different! The same, in the sense that the arrangements are both world class; different because what happen inside affects the body, spirit and soul peculiarly. It’s an amazing experience stepping inside the paradise like atmosphere of the bar’s inner lounge in the cool of the day! It is breath taking! It is a wow experience! Sweats are dried immediately due to its chilling nature! The environment is serene. It has a little moonlight effect and disco hall light upshot. It is a feeling of moonlight coupled with other colourful and sparkling tiny lights; producing complex and yet extremely overwhelming pampering! It is indeed a ritual that wearied souls would not hesitate to accept! The setting is seductive! It has the potent to seduce a battered soul running from turbulence to relax with total abandonment; reassuring itself that there is light at the end of the dark and cruel tunnel!
E-Bar, though located in 20 Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria, is not a local idea. It is a Russian design; the very origin of the owners. It is a bar standard idea from Moscow. Everything about it is executive and excellence! The layout of the couch in the inner lounge is among the best the industry has got to offer! Couches that not only soften the buttocks but go further in providing comfort for both the back and its head; agreeing exactly how nature would want them positioned!
For some customers, no matter how bizarre and tempting outside E-Bar is they will not stop unless there are friends and acquaintances to express pleasantry to. The only thing on their mind as they stepped out of the car is the rite inside; performed under intense hush music with television sets displaying delightful pictures. Courteous and neat service boys and girls strategically positioned to respond swiftly at customers’ request!
E-Bar’s inner lounge is also very cool for private discussion! It is not a surprise then why some customers cannot resist the inner lounge. The caliber of customers who love it here also speaks volubly. Married couples who once in a while love to escape from house hitches just to be alone together; decent singles, elitist elders, the young and intelligent, cool guys and babe, religious leaders and pastors’ children (particularly children studying abroad who are on holiday), all taking advantage of the tranquil milieu of E-Bar’s inner lounge to service the body for better performance!
Another set of guys find in the inner lounge is the snooker aficionados; hovering around the snooker board as bees on honey web, watching and waiting for their turn to port balls! The gathering here is the peak of the moment for some customers! Like its outside, there is never a dull moment inside E-Bar!
