Eko Wine Bar & Restaurant

Eko Bar, situated in the heart of Homerton, is the epitome of a Nigerian lounge bar. Tinted windows, flash cars parked outside, and a vibe that doesn't pick up until the late hours of the night. But when it does pick up, you’re in for a swing. On Friday nights, the weekly live band is in attendance in the corner, singing Nigerian funk renditions of old hits and new afrobeats. Waiters bring out piping hot plates of chewy but tender asun goat meat and gizzard. While the typical beers and stouts are all available, the imported palm wine is a must-try. Vegans aren't specifically catered for but between the mammoth plate of delicious spicy jollof rice lined with sweet plantain and soft cassava fries, there's no chance anyone will leave disappointed.
