Sip is an upscale bar nestled in the heart of VI. The decor is absolutely gorgeous and the crowd is cool. Its main problem is the entrance. If you want to truly feel like a nobody in Lagos, try getting into Sip on a Friday night without knowing someone on the inside. I was in shock one day when my friends got there before me and I literally had to STRUGGLE to get in. There were people smashing into each other, begging the ginormous bouncers to let them in. I had to move back so as not to disgrace my family there. It’s funny because in the middle of the people struggling, a guy from a “big Lagos family” walked up and the bouncers literally cleared the tight crowd to let him in. I just put on my cool face and walked in behind him, wondering where my shame had gone and praying the bouncers wouldn’t embarrass me.

PROS - Gorgeous crowd, beautiful decor, and awesome DJ.
CONS - Getting in (on Friday nights), tight space, and horribly smelling toilet right beside the “VIP” area (nothing really VIP about it in my opinion).
