Fun date spots in Lagos on a budget

There’s a good chance you’re in a relationship or single. And whatever it is, you’re going to need date suggestions. And that’s where we come in, since while Lagos is full of great date ideas, hidden gems, and romantic nooks, we’re here to help. This guide will assist you in;

A) Securing the lifetime devotion of anybody you’re attempting to impress, and 

B) Having fun while impressing them by showing them the finest of Lagos. That’s what we’d call a win-win situation. We’ve done the wooing and swooning for you, and here are the top alternative date night options in Lagos:

Twin Waters

Spanning five floors with magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, Twinwaters features 10 shop spaces, two fine-dining restaurants: 788 on the Sea and Chai Tang, The Maradiva housing four ultramodern event suites for meetings, retreats and events, The View Rooftop Lounge and Nigerias first ultra modern gaming arcade: Rufus & Bee

Element House by Spektrum

Go to Element House and buy N5k tickets. Carry your own whiskey flask and do pre-drinks in the car before the party starts at midnight to keep costs down. You and your date will have the time of your life

88 Division Officers Mess

This one is intriguing, especially if your date is a thrill seeker. You’d enjoy delectable nkowrbi and other delicacies while watching several local artists demonstrate their talents. Another advantage is that your date will be able to capture some great IG stories thanks to the fantastic ambiance. It’s in Ikoyi, so it’s nice and clean.

Night Movie at IMAX

This one is quite delectable . Go late and see a good action film on the big screen. While you’re waiting for your movie, stop by Hans & René for some gelato. We would find it unbelievable if your date doesn’t enjoy themselves.

Pizza at Panarottis

Unlike the “bread and stew” that many pizza joints in Lagos sell, Panarottis’ pizza is a delicacy with plenty of cheese. This would be a date to remember.

Art exploration in Lekki

Visit the Nike Art Gallery, look around, and take as many photos as you wish. Then you should go to the Lekki Art Market and buy a few things while you wander around and try out stuff you won’t have to pay for (it’s entertaining). You’ll be hungry by the time you’re finished. Then you can decide whether or not to eat lunch in a restaurant.

Chills at Nok by Alara

Kelewele can be found there if you ask for it. We’re willing to wager that your date has never tried anything like that. There might be a band performing if you’re lucky.

Chills at The Vibe

As long as you’re buying alcohol and Shisha, you’ll be fine and won’t break the bank. You might get lucky and stumble upon a Cavemen or Adekunle Gold show.

Chills at Lacibo

The music is enjoyable and catchy. Food is fairly inexpensive. The same goes for drinks, and if you like, you can get your IG photos taken there at any moment.

SeaFood at Shark Express

Do not, under any circumstances, purchase a dish for two people as it is quite pricey. For a reasonable price, you can eat meals and drink beverages. Make sure you seat near the front of the room, facing the Lekki British International School. There’s a wonderful breeze there.

Chills at Terra Kulture

Enjoy a stage play for N3k-5k, then walk inside and taste some delicious African cuisine at extremely reasonable costs. The restaurant’s seats and tables are all works of art carved from trees fallen from the same area that the restaurant has been on since 2004. Terra Kulture is Nigeria’s premier art, culture, leisure, and educational institution.
