The Paris Olympics is in full swing and whether itās cheering for your favorite track runner in the Olympics, counting how many 3-pointers Steph Curry makes, or going wild when your GOAT makes a 90-minute goal, watching a sports event at a sports bar trumps watching it at home.
Nothing beats watching the sour faces of an opposing fan when your team snags the win and if your team loses, it stings less because misery loves company āespecially when the company is paired with a full plate of spicy kebabs and a tall glass of wine.
With that in mind, here are five great sport bars in Lagos where you can watch sports while enjoying your favorite meals.
