Restaurant review

Three Monkeys Bar

Lagos

Three Monkeys Bar review — Lagos sports-pub on Rua Lançarote de Freitas with pool tables, Premier League screens, pub food, and international bar-crawl crowd.

Our verdict

Three Monkeys is the reliable Lagos pub warm-up — arrive before 22:30 for a seat, eat pub food before the kitchen closes, then spill into old-town lanes or Joe's Garage for later energy.

Three Monkeys Bar on Rua Lançarote de Freitas 26 is Lagos’ benchmark sports-pub — pool tables, darts, Premier League screens, and an **international crowd** that skews younger than Mullen’s dinner regulars. Daytime is relaxed pints; from **23:00** the room compresses into standing-room bar-crawl energy in peak summer.

Pub food runs until roughly **22:00** — useful if you skipped dinner. Beers sit in the **budget-friendly** band for Lagos centre. Occasional **beer-pong** and party-game nights add backpacker-week flavour without Albufeira Strip cover charges. This is **pub-not-club** — dress is casual trainers; expect noise when football fixtures overlap with holiday Saturdays.

Who it suits: Groups warming up for **old-town club lanes** or Joe’s Garage. Sports fans who want screens without marina pricing. Less ideal for quiet date nights — try Mullen’s for live-music dinners instead.
