The Star
Quick Verdict
Locals go back because Rick and Rozy remember you, the drinks don't cost much, and the food works—especially if you're there on a Monday when the quiz crowd shows up.
Go if you want cheap drinks, genuine hospitality from the owners, and a room full of people who actually live in Lagos rather than pass through it.
About The Star
The Star is a small local bar run by Rick and Rozy in central Lagos, a 10-minute walk from Greenland Square. It's the kind of place where the owners work the room every night, pouring cheap drinks (€5–10) and building a crowd that feels less like tourists and more like people who've decided to stay. Reviewers mention Rozy's curry, kebabs that rival anything you've eaten abroad, and sangria worth ordering twice. Monday nights run a quiz (in English, fair warning). The atmosphere lands somewhere between 1970s Lagos and a proper local's bar—worn in the right way, full of the kind of warmth that doesn't get faked. Germans, French, Spanish, and British regulars all mention the same thing: they came once and kept coming back. No reservations, no fuss, no menu on the wall. You walk in, the owners greet you by name if you've been before, and you order what they're making that night.
What Stands Out
Owners who run the room
"Rick and Rozy are the best hosts in town with warmth and smiles." Multiple reviewers mention both owners working and being "very nice and friendly," making visitors feel "like one more" rather than customers.
Prices that don't insult you
€5–10 range described as "very cheap drinks" and "super bargain for Lagos." A German reviewer specifically praised "super Preise" (super prices), and the affordability is mentioned in nearly every review.
Food that justifies the trip back
Rozy's curry mentioned by name in multiple reviews. One reviewer called the kebab "the best I've eaten in many countries." Another praised the chicken curry and rice as "delicious."
What Customers Say
Very cheap drinks, great atmosphere, and the very friendly owner Ricky was fantastic.

Ended up coming back the following night and it was somehow even better.
