Nightlife in Freetown

  1. Drink

    Chapter One

    An impressive entertainment complex built on the site of the former Atlantic Restaurant, opposite the golf club. The modern complex houses a restaurant, nightclub and bar. If you want to go to one of their special events, you could pay $100 per person for entry.

  2. Eat

    Country Lodge Hotel Restaurant

    HS 51 Hill Station. Excellent views over the city, live jazz on Thursdays. The peppercrust stake is very good, Mongolian night every Friday

  3. Do

    Freetown Golf Club

    A round of golf or tennis at the club just off the beach at Lumley.

  4. Drink

    Hill Station Club

    Gentleman's club, dating from colonial times. In a much dilapidated state but the bar still serves beer.

  5. See

    Lakka Beach

    Takes about 10 minutes driving from Lumley. Here are many places to eat and sleep. The Hard Rock Café (no connection to the international brand) on the rocky peninsular has great views on the beach and offers, just like Paul's and Club Med, superb fresh seafood. These places also have excellent accommodation. Palm Beach (formally the Cotton Club) is in a very bad shape but will soon be renovated.

  6. See

    Lumley Beach

    The main public beach and rubbish dump close to Freetown itself facing the Atlantic with shops, restaurants, hotels, golf course, as well local clubs. The beach is popular for football, running and is normally crowded on holidays and the weekend. A paved pathway now runs the length of the beach, popular for walking and jogging, especially when the tide is in. Avoid the Aberdeen end which is covered with rubbish. It is better near the golf club.
