Kofi who is being foolish here? The security officer did very well by ensuring that rules of the place are followed. Perhaps, he was a little harsh but it is about time the privileged stopped seeing customer service staff as an extension of their domestic staff.I know very very very very well what i am talking about because I know it. I am Ghanaian and very very proud of my nationality.

A friend of mine was in ghana and went to coco lounge.

Any time I'm in town, I just pass by cos not motivated to even go there cos of what my friend said.
Customer service is so poor in ghana and we all know that.
Go somewhere, start speaking twi she you are treated differently, speak English and u are the queen or king and all attention is given to you. It's pathetic.

Some of us are not used to over dressing as some Ghanaian ladies do just to indicate they also want to belong. As the saying goes, Never judge a book by its cover.

Nonsense! Must you tell her to dress in a certain way before you take her money in exchange for your service? What kind of nonsense is that? You would rather open your doors to pretenders and shut it at those who can comfortably afford the food and drinks you serve, because they won't waste their time to dress in a certain way to impress anyone just to go and eat. How much is that security guard paid to be turning people away for the way they appear? Pathetic security guard.

Well, I have seen better restaurants in North America and Europe where you would not be required to dress in a certain way before they take your money and give you their food. Remember, you are the reason why they are operating. Cease going there, and they have no business. So chop bar or restaurant, it is the same thing, food. just like watchman and security man.

Coco lounge to me has unprofessional personnels, last year December was there to have a dinner with my younger bro on my birthday , I made reservations for 2 , on my arrival to my table, a dumb waitress ask me why I'm not having a female counterparts? Why is your girl? It very unprofessional to ask that. Coco lounge suck and the mostly annoying part was that they have limited foods on the menu. Not recommendable. Don't go there!!

I have traveled most places around the world, I haven't come across such behavior of a dressing code in eatery places. Ghana is absurd, foreigners are treated better than the indigenous people. Before Rapsody in Accra mall moved out,if am not mistaken because a friend told me recently. I was refused entry because am wearing short pants, the temperature very high that day. Rather some friends from south Africa who were equally wearing short pants assisted me Inn, in my own country. I splash close to $ 500-600 on whiskies, immediately they came to apologise for denying me an entry earlier on. It's absurd and madness. Why restrictions due to dressing code and not affordability? Ghanaians be fair to your own brothers and sisters.

These are the rules of Coco Lounge. Everybody knows shorts are NOT allowed after 6 p.m. Simples! It has nothing to do with being white or black.

We stood in the queue for minutes and it was almost our turn to get in when some Caucasian ladies of about 4 arrived and formed a side queue only for the dickhead of a bouncer to tell us to join the queue referring to the adhoc Caucasian side queue.. ..
Imagine that ..I felt disrespected and moved to another club.
