East Legon live music venue with strong Afrobeats, highlife, and jazz nights

One of Accra's better live music venues, in East Legon, drawing a mix of young Ghanaians, expats, and visiting musicians for nights that lean toward Afrobeats, highlife, and jazz. The sound system is better than most comparable venues in the city, and the size — smaller and more enclosed than the open-air club-scale places — means the music has somewhere to go.

Check the schedule before turning up; the best nights fill early and the programming varies week to week. Getting here from the centre means either Bolt, Uber, or persuading a taxi driver that East Legon at midnight is a reasonable journey — which it is. Combine with dinner at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants before the music starts.
