Nigerian lounge bar with live music, goat meat, and palm wine
"Eko Bar in Homerton is a Nigerian lounge bar with tinted windows, flash cars parked outside, and a vibe that doesn't pick up until late. On Friday nights, a live band plays Nigerian funk renditions of old hits and new afrobeats, while waiters bring out piping hot plates of asun goat meat and jumbo prawns. While the typical beers and stouts are all available, the imported palm wine is a must-try." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Eko’s TGIF mentality is formidable. Every Friday night, this Nigerian lounge bar in Homerton has a live band in attendance who sing funk renditions of old hits, afrobeats, and other songs that encourage sipping enough imported plum wine to ensure your Saturday starts with the ultimate hungover battle cry: “I’m never drinking again”. Get one of the mammoth plates of jollof rice and cancel your Saturday plans before the tender asun goat even hits your table." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
"With tinted windows, flash cars parked outside, and a vibe that doesn't pick up until the late hours of the night, Eko is the epitome of a Nigerian lounge bar. The Homerton spot hosts weekly live music on Friday nights with afrobeats vibrating through the restaurant alongside the occasional Nigerian funk rendition. Waiters bring out piping hot plates of chewy but tender asun goat meat and gizzard, and mammoth plates of delicious spicy jollof rice and soft cassava fries." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager

"Eko Bar, situated in the heart of Homerton, is the epitome of a Nigerian lounge bar. Tinted windows, flash cars parked outside, and a vibe that doesn't pick up until the late hours of the night. But when it does pick up, you’re in for a swing. On Friday nights, the weekly live band plays Nigerian funk renditions of old hits and new afrobeats. Waiters bring out piping hot plates of chewy but tender asun goat meat and gizzard. The imported palm wine is also a must-try. Vegans aren't specifically catered for but between the mammoth plate of delicious spicy jollof rice lined with sweet plantain and soft cassava fries, there's no chance anyone will leave disappointed." - riaz phillips
