Apart from the hotels and restaurants, there are many bars along the beaches, particularly at the Aberdeen end of Lumley Beach. Man of War Bay in Aberdeen has several popular bars and restaurants, all of which have terraces overlooking the bay.
There are countless small bars along every street, often catering for just a handful of customers.
A "must-see" for any visitor is Paddy's on the road into Aberdeen. This bar is famous and was the only place to be consistently open during the war. Get a cold Star and enjoy the atmosphere. Star beer is now available on tap in better bars. Also worthy of a visit is the Hill Station Club (http://www.capitalradio.s...) at Hill Station. This old gentleman's drinking club was looted during the war, but the building itself survived and the bar will be opened for visitors. If you are lucky you will be allowed to see the snooker room, where the tables appear untouched for many years and old champions' names are still on the sign boards.
On Sir Samuel Lewis Road same as Paddy's there is also a small local pub, called Tribes, with a pool table.
O'Casey's Blues Bar
A new bar on the bay. Sometimes with live music.
The Office
This is the place to be seen! A very popular wine bar with a wide range of music expect anything from ABBA to the latest international hits.
Paddy's
One of the oldest bars in Freetown. It has faded somewhat because of the competition from more fashionable bars, but still worth a visit.
