Bar

A Wuse 2 sports bar with big HD screens and surround sound for football, Formula 1 and NBA, plus cocktails, comfort food, darts and DJ nights.

Good to know
Zaya and Ryan's combines three things that Abuja's evening crowd likes: a rooftop bar, a sports lounge and a casual restaurant, all in one venue. It sits at Mall 63 on Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent in Wuse 2, opposite Mikano and next to Zenith Bank, and it has become one of the most popular places in the city to start a night out or to watch a game over drinks.
The menu covers the whole day, from breakfast options to rice dishes, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, platters, desserts and steak, with grilled meats, pasta and seafood also on offer. At the bar, cocktails and craft beers are the main draw. It is a sociable place, with plenty of spots designed for photographs, and the rooftop setting is particularly pleasant once the heat of the day eases.
Zaya and Ryan's enforces a dress code, and staff may refuse entry to anyone who does not follow it. Sweatpants, gym shorts, sliders, dirty shoes, overly revealing outfits and clothing that exposes underwear are not allowed, so dress smart casual. It is popular, so expect it to be busy at weekends and during major football matches.
The venue suits groups of friends, couples on an evening out and sports fans who want something smarter than a traditional sports bar. Prices are in the mid-to-upper range for Wuse 2. Arrive early on Friday and Saturday nights or for big fixtures if you want a good table on the rooftop, and check current opening hours on the venue's social media before you go.
It appeared in both BusinessDay's December 2025 selection of rooftop restaurants for easy evenings out and a 2025 Sabi Abuja guide to rooftop lounges for pre-game drinks, which sums up its role: a place to begin the night with friends before moving on, as much as a destination in itself.
Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent is the busiest dining and nightlife street in Wuse 2, so it is easy to combine Zaya and Ryan's with dinner at Marks at the Park or Tulip Bistro, or a later visit to KICKOFF on nearby Kumasi Crescent. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are the easiest way to get home.
