There’s always that one spot everyone talks about after Lagos Cocktail Week; this year, it was Gordon’s Diner.
The brand’s diner-style setup was impossible to miss. It had that fun, nostalgic look that instantly caught your eye and a laid-back vibe that made you want to stay. People came in for a quick photo, but most ended up hanging around for the cocktails and conversations.
The Gordon’s mixologists kept the drinks light, smooth, and perfectly balanced—easy to sip and easy to enjoy. Each cocktail brought out the crisp flavor Gordon’s is known for, and the steady crowd proved just how much guests loved it. They also served up the Gordon’s Pink and Berry Premix Cans for those who could not wait for the cocktail-making theatrics. When Daala Oruwari and Michael Mayowa got behind the bar, things got even more interesting. They mixed up their own signature cocktails, chatted with guests, and turned it into a casual, fun moment that felt very Lagos.
By evening, the booth had become one of the liveliest parts of the festival, not loud, just full of people who were having a good time. No over-the-top gimmicks, no hard sell, just Gordon’s good gin, good music, and that easy Gordon’s charm that fits right into any Lagos weekend.
If Lagos Cocktail Week was the party, Gordon’s was the vibe. Keep up with more good times on @gordonsmoringa
