In the past, government intervention and law enforcement curtailed nightlife in Sierra Leone.
The country made efforts to curb crime and promote a more responsible nightlife. Some of the measures that have been taken include increased patrols by the police, the imposition of a curfew, and the closure of nightclubs that do not adhere to the new regulations.
While these measures have hurt nightlife in the country, they were necessary to ensure that everyone can enjoy themselves safely and responsibly.
But times are changing, perhaps for the better.
Clubs AND BARS are now open for 24 hours on weekends.
Unlike Bars in Thailand which continue to be shut down by the Thai government, the authorities in Sierra Leone have decided to be more open and flexible.
All bars and clubs in Sierra Leone are now open for 24 hours on weekends to help with recurring issues like lack of electricity or expensive diesel generators.
