If you are the type who fancy movie why not catch a movie at the silver bird cinema. If its food Accra mall seems to have all the bases covered offering a mix of food outlets, from pizza parlors, chicken joints to fine dining. Visit the apple store, catch a first run Hollywood at the cinema, grab a burger or pizza at the forecourt or just linger and watch the people. The Accra mall is too expensive for most Ghanaians, but we still love to hang out and meet friends here.

If you are looking for modern Ghana music, this is a great place to shop for CDs. The Shoprite supermarket is where you can find any of the foodstuffs you miss from home. But at a price that you may not recognize.

NIGHTLIFE AT THE OSU OXFORD STREET

               

The OSU oxford street is a premier business centre located in the Accra metropolis. The street is the most popular street in Ghana and it derived its name from the famous oxford street in London, U.K because of its busy nocturnal activities. It is also known as the “West End”. Joining OSU Oxford Street from the ring road is a famous roundabout dedicated to the memory of Dr. J. B. Danquah.

Oxford Street is a popular hangout especially on the weekends and holidays. It is a hot spot for lovers and a great place to entertain the whole family on special occasions. When it comes to household groceries shopping, you will find some of the finest supermarkets in OSU. Koala supermarket is my favorite, since they provide all my grocery needs. Adjacent to koala is a liquor store which carries varieties of foreign drinks at discount prices.

The best restaurants are also located on and around this street. Dynasty, a Chinese restaurant is one of the best and serves all kinds of cuisines, Frankie’s is another eating place you can trust. it has a popular ice cream joint and is a nice place to “chill”. It also has an exotic hotel above. “Papaye” is a restaurant known for its food and value. “PAYE” as some people call it, is very well patronized. Usually, a plate of food is good for two people. “Container” is directly opposite “Papaye” on the OSU oxford street. This is a sit-out bar and eatery joint. On the weekends especially, there is usually a live music and acrobatic shows.

“Steers” is another fast food joint that specializes in burgers. It’s just a duplicate of McDonald or Burger King. The OSU night market is where local food is sold all round the clock. The OSU blue gate is also another night place to have spicy tilapia and banku (a local dish prepared with corn dough). Every fashionable or vogue stuffs are not left out.
