Ghanaian Nightlife

When you come to Ghana, Ghanianian nightlife is definitely one of the things about Ghana you should know. As a traveler to Ghana, you will have several options for how to spend your warm nights. On Reggae Nights, which normally take place on Wednesdays, you could find yourself at Labadi Beach. Feel free to let loose to the live band as the sun sets into the azure Atlantic. Spend your nights on Osu, popularly known as Oxford Street, which is popular with expatriates and foreign dignitaries. There's always something going on, from jazz clubs to open-mic poetry. If you're in Cape Coast, head to Oasis—on weekends, you can see a local group re-enact oral tales drawn from the Fante people who resided there decades ago. Just make sure to go with a group of people; try not to go anywhere alone after dark.

Note! Don't order the vodka. It will very definitely be watered down and overpriced. Order a Star Beer or the weirdly popular Smirnoff Ice instead. If you're feeling extra daring, try Akpeteshie, a Ghanaian liquor made from fermented palm wine or sugar cane.
