The most attractive late-night venues are located in the city's many malls, where parking and security present no problem. Keynote establishments include Cubes (2nd floor, Silverbird Galleria, 131-133 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, 01 474 4493), with a young crowd; Jazz Sessions (871 Ozumba Mbadiwe Street, near BJ Hotel, Victoria Island, 01 818 4809, www.jazzsessionslimited.com), a live venue and cocktail bar; and the ever popular Reloaded (113 Awolowo Road, SW Ikoyi, 01 790 2973), probably the best Saturday night out in Lagos. For expats, Pat's Bar (292C Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, 0805 308 0475 mobile) and, in Apapa, the Pub Disco Bar (68 Marine Road, 01 897 4394) are the most convenient choices. The newest place in town is the Caliente (9 Goriola Street, off Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island, 0702 317 8933, mobile), a fun cocktail bar with a South American vibe.
