Birthdays in Lagos can be anything from cosy dinners to all-out parties. But what if your favourite restaurant gave you free cocktails, dessert, or even hosted a party in your honour? Lucky for you, Trib3 Lagos knows how to throw a celebration that feels special, especially if you enjoy being around folks who share your birth month.
But if you’d prefer something more intimate, we’ve also found seven Lagos restaurants offering thoughtful birthday perks, whether you’re celebrating your birthday with your squad or riding solo.
1. TRIB3 Lagos
Located at 288B Ajose Adeogun St., Victoria Island, TRIB3 Lagos runs exciting themed nights (silent disco, karaoke, live DJs) and regularly spotlights celebrants. They give you sparklers and shout-outs on your birthday on these nights. But the best part is the monthly birthday nights they host, where people born in the same month celebrate together with live performances and a signature birthday dining and nightlife experience.
They host “Trib3 Royale” for the celebrants on the last Sunday of every month with a host of performances lined up, plus trib3 gifts and live shows. It’s a beautiful experience, and the energy is contagious.
The cost for participation is ₦30,000 per celebrant for the Birthday Experience, which includes the following:
• A special birthday song and dance at the entrance
• A sash
• A tiara
• A birthday cake
• A birthday card, etc.
Regarding food and drinks, there is a minimum spend of ₦50,000 per person, and you will be able to order directly from the menu. However, there is a price slash for the early bird package for payment, and you get to pay ₦30,000 for the minimum spend instead of ₦50,000.
