Kumasi is Ghana’s second city – large, sprawling and home to the Akan people. Slightly trickier to navigate than Accra, we give you a shortcut to all the best places to relax and sip drinks in Ghana’s Garden City.

The best bar in Kumasi boasts features on a part with some of the best spaces in Europe: a gastropub menu, as well as décor that is wonderfully sleek and modern, with Eames-inspired seating, hardwood floors and large windows. The View hosts some of the city’s best DJs and, to top it off, there’s a wonderful rooftop terrace if you want an al fresco vibe as you sip your drinks.

A gorgeous little jazz bar with a great central location that boasts a hacienda home-style vibe and seating strewn throughout a pleasant garden. A decent wine selection, bar snacks, as well as regular live music make S Bar a local favourite.

Vienna City, Kumasi

Vienna City is a brand that takes its name to cities across Ghana, always with the same vibe: lively, local and filled with popular music hits. Vienna City, Kumasi is no different. Boasting a large, low-lit space with funky neon uplighting, be prepared to listen to the loudest and latest club hits.

An oasis of cool and calm, this branch of the Golden Tulip chain has a lovely, serene lounge bar complete with an accomplished piano player, which only adds to the vintage vibes. Alternately, you can lounge about sipping on drinks at the poolside bar, where a sunset view is available and local bands regularly entertain.
