At times, Amarachi Lounge feels like an intimate, private club, where all the regulars and staff members seem to know each other. What’s so impressive, then, is just how quickly unfamiliar faces are welcomed into the bar’s inner circle, where Heineken rounds and Patron shots reign supreme. The small bar in the narrow front room is lined with brick walls, cheerfully strung with colored lights and hung with various African and Latin flags—a small representation of the Nigerian owners’ mission to celebrate diverse world cultures in a familiar, vibrant environment. And vibrant it is, with the red-curtained, table-lined back room playing host to frequent DJs and regular events like karaoke, movie nights, fashion shows, and frisky Afro-Caribbean dance parties. By night’s end, you might be a regular, too.
