Polos - fantastic vibes

Polos is one of my favorite pre and after spots in Dar. You have the pick the right night to go, but when it's right its right. On the particularly lit nights, the place is packed and buzzing; the music is on point (at least on the nights I went), and people were generally social and welcoming. They have cool cocktails and a variety of activities besides just chatting. There's board games like chess for example, there's literally video games people play, and just a whole lot of socializing. Prices were fair in my opinion. Everything was on the menu so there was no negotiating or haggling involved. For me personally, its usually a pre or post spot and not the main staple or main plan of the night. This might change since I went, but the age demographic was around mid 20's to mid 40's. I highly recommend Polos whether you are with friends or by yourself, but only on the lively nights where its crowded. The website wasn't letting me upload vids so I just uploaded a pic I took of my buddy with his drink, you can see the place has a fun aesthetic in the drink's design in addition to the restaurant design.
