Relaxed, cosy spot in old Accra. Limited but tasty meals, sometimes live music. Owner is an architect keen on restoration work.

While this is a food & drinks spot I've listed it under chill hang out as I'd go there more for that than the food/drinks, which isn't bad.

A chill spot for great live music--different vibe each night. Limited menu but tasty and moderately priced. Worth a visit if you love to dance or just hang out. Entrance fee most night but differs by who’s playing. The all women’s band, Lipstick, is Wednesdays

One of my absolute fav places. Fine dining, beautiful ambience & view of Osu. Lovely music, good service. Bit pricey. Sometimes has an exhibition on ground floor (restaurant is on 3rd floor). Sunday brunch with Kobby DJ-ing is super smooth. It has so much going for it which is why I included it in Chill hang out.

Sightseeing

You have to say, "I've been there", as it's an important site for a tour of our independence history and details of president Nkrumah's life. Close to the sea-- calming.
