DUPLEX - too many good times to count!
I got to know about Duplex through a good friend of mine, who kept insisting that Duplex was a good spot to hang with a group of friends and have drinks before clubbing. So I thought, why not go check it out since in Ghana, we're always looking for new stuff to do and new places to go to!
From the first day I stepped into Duplex (3 years ago) until now, I've been hooked!
The former Duplex was located in Osu, behind Papaye, near Ryan's Irish Pub. It was small, comfy and casual. If you went to Duplex on a weekend, you're bound to see the same "duplex" crowd, which worked out well for most people. It was easier to make friends and get to know people. Upstairs was a lounge type area where some of us would do chill and feed our drunk faces with some good pizza or steak sandwich.The bar downstairs - oh wow - it's where you wanna be for the good times to start!
Early January 2012, the loyal Duplex junkies said good bye to the old duplex and we partied into a new Duplex! Bigger, louder and is giving even more reason to party harder.
The regulars. The newcomers. The old and the young. Party party party on.
Since this spot opened, it's been, and I quote a good friend - BUMPY.
Ok, so the owner and bartender - Bob. Everyone LOVES him. Chill guy, fun and yes, he's that bartender who you can talk to about anything!
The Duplex team in general, is a friendly and very accommodating team! :) props to Diona and Mihi!!! (if you like amaretto sours, Mihi is your guy)

Shot glasses from different countries - I gave 3 of those! :) more to come!
Bar is now at least 3 times longer than the old one :)
VIP area :)
Duplex has the BEST Mojito in town. A must try when you go there.
So, if you're looking to dance, drink, be in good company - Duplex awaits you!
See you there :) Cheers.

Love the post. Do you know how long Duplex has been around? I am a writer for Africa.com, and we're currently putting together a piece about hip places to go in Accra. So far, besides Duplex, our list is as follows:
ReplyDelete1) Fire Fly
2) Twist Night Club
3) Rhapsody's
4) Santoku Restaurant
5) Mavenpick
6) Champs Sports Bar
If you have any thoughts on the list--if you think any of those are great or terrible, or if we should definitely add some other places--let me know!! Thanks! /christine
Hi Christine! Sorry for the late reply. Work took a toll on me and haven't been able to check my blog.
DeleteI hope it's not too late to respond.
The new venue for Duplex opened just this year. But they actually started in a smaller spot about, 4-5 years ago. If you need to interview the owner, he's a good friend of mine. So let me know :)
I think you have a good set of list there. However, the Champs Sports Bar was renovated and is now called Lexington. It's got good cocktails and they've started having events depending on the day. Example I think Thursdays is like their jazz nights.
Also it's Movenpick - Lounge. Great place to have drinks on a Friday night :)
To add to you list, if you're including restaurants that have good bars, there's also Monsoon, located in Osu.
Thank you! :) Glad to know you enjoyed the entry.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of writing about duplex, but something asked me to check about it on google search, then this popped up. Duplex is really the best place to have fun.
ReplyDeleteHey Zakiyu :) Glad you found my entry! What will you be writing about on Duplex? If you need more information, I'll be happy to help you out on it. Take care!
