THE SPOT- BARNAS

I set out on Friday to paint the city “Black and Yellow”. My brother asked for pizza and I wanted to get him the best pizza I could find... So, I asked around and I got two recommendations for a particular location and off to BARNAS I went..
It’s at Ahodwo-Nhiayeso. When coming from Adum, turn right at the Ahodwo round-about and take the first left and it’s just to your left. There is a sign so it’s not hard to find.
During the ride this was me... “I’m going to a cool and fancy pub” I got there and it was technically a “Spot”. I entered the place, actually I walked into the place because it’s not like there is a door or a particular entry point. There was this strange scent that met me under the tree. I don’t intend on being mean but it smelled like Guinness Ghana fermenting hops to brew beer in front of the bar. We quickly headed for the other side where it didn’t smell odd.
The pizza place is like behind a counter with a glass case so u can see what they are putting in your pizza. The dough is rolled, then the sauce, topping then cheese. It seemed like everything in the pizza came from a can except minced beef n chicken. Oddly, the pizza was good. Not dancing over the rainbow good but better that many I have had in Kumasi.   
I want to grade this place but it might be too hard for me to do. If I use the regular criteria, I don’t know what I will give them for sections like ambience or look but I will try to judge them based on the class in which they belong

Why
Location
6/10
0.6
(Good location. Close to the main road hence easy to find but not much parking. You have to park at the back when the place is packed and the back is scary at night.)
Look
7/20 
0.35
 (It’s not fancy or even a nice place but for a “spot” this is what it deserves. I don’t want to judge it based on the standard of restaurants otherwise I’d give it one.)
Food  
14/30
0.47
(All I got was a pizza so it’s hard to judge but I think this is in order.)
Service           
10/20
0.5
(We didn’t really get any other thing but as soon as we sat, the lady was there to ask what we needed. The pizza took a bit long but there were many orders so I’ll forgive them and the Pizza guy was nice and friendly. )
Ambience
2/10
0.2
(For a spot, it wasn’t “popping”. It did not seem like people were having FUN, it was just cool.)
The extra umphhh
0/10
0
 (I’ve got nothing. I don’t know why people go and sit there. Maybe it was a bad day but I don’t get it.)
TOTAL CWA: 2.12 over 6
Out of six stars.: 
   BARNAS-

Final Suggestions
·         They need to use some detergent to wash the front of the bar... It stinks!
·         The place needs some life
·         Get some lights at the back for those who will park there, It’s scary and dangerous.
*A Spot is a Ghanaian word usually used to represent a local bar or pub


WATCH OUT I MIGHT BE AT YOUR PLACE NEXT...XOXO

I have had it at the back of my mind to do this post for almost 2 years now. I really do not know why I have not posted about this place all this while but I think today is the day. Let ’ s call it #ThrowbackThursday!! I was born in August … That makes me fabulous by default. It was a day to my birthday and I met my friend Mona and my sister at Ci Gusta (Another one of my most favourite places in Accra). My sister and I wanted some real food … we were not in the mood for a sandwich or waffles or anything like that. We saw the Maestro sign upstairs and thought … Let ’ s try it out. So Mona my sister and I stepped into Maestro There is a lovely bar downstairs, quite simple yet classy. The d é cor is very elegant. Great lighting... that perfect combination of not too dim but not too bright. We went up the stairs and there was a battalion of staff literally smothering us. Someone pulling a seat … another bringing the menu one doing something I am not really sure what he was...

A GEM BEYOND THE DUST

Tucked away just outside the fringes of Accra, it is hard to believe such a lovely looking place is at the end of that bumpy, and dusty Teiman-Abokobi road. I am told it was built as an international students hostel (Now that is one very posh and well equipped hostel if you ask me). Hill view Guesthouse , is not actually "Guest house" standard if we are judging by the size and beauty of the place, the standard of the pool, the completeness of the gym, size of the restaurant, the number of rooms and the exquisite decor. I was there with friends and we loved the swimming pool. I plan on going back for happy hour on Friday. I am not going to talk about the Hotel/Guest house aspect of the place because I have not experienced that. I can talk about the pool, gym, ambiance of the outdoor and a bit about food.  Also I will not rate their stars yet , because I am convinced I did not have enough to work with(I do not want to be unfair). The following I can say 1. Whoever pi...
