The Liv Bar is a really cool bar within the Kombo Beach Hotel complex in Kotu. So many cocktails to choose from, and long happy hours to get double helpings! There are huge TVs which screen all the major sporting events, a pool table and karaoke with loads of songs and the latest videos to choose from. The manager, Ali,... More

Good cocktails, Great staff, fun times at Karaoke and a top Manager who knows the meaning of fun. Could do with a slight update on the Karaoke list but no one was complaining. Will be back soon!

The Liv Bar - a much needed spot on the Kotu Strip! This bar is located within the premises of the Kombo Beach Hotel. A totally separate ownership and management from from the hotel's. Truth be told, I noticed a little bit of friction between the hotel and the bar. Fair to say the bar is winning! Firstly, Liv Bar... More

We have just come back from a fantastic week at Kombo Beach Hotel and can HIGHLY recommend the Liv Bar which is situated within the hotel. To my other half's great delight there was sport galore on every day which meant I could wander off for an afternoon snooze or a massage and leave him happily to watch the games... More

Stayed at the kombo beach hotel for 1 week. Liv Bar is next door to the hotel bar, it is privately owned by the lovely and very helpful Ali. It is definately worth a visit and serves the best cocktails on the strip. They show all the games i.e rugby and football matches and it is much better to watch... More

They have 3 screens, and can show 3 different games at once. What really impressed was that if there was a particular game you waned to watch the staff would scroll through all the satalite chanels untill they found it for you. Can't get any better than that!

Liv is one of the most flexible businesses I've visited. And flexible always wins. One afternoon we've turned it into an amazing all-hotel zumba lesson, in evening it's a superball pub and by night a karaoke club. Stuff there is friendly as in all Gambia and management sincerely cares for customer needs. If the party is rolling, nodoby even thinks... More

We spent many an evening and night at the Liv bar and had an absolutely amazing time. Ali, Elias, Victo, George (who is HILARIOUS!!!!) kept us entertained and in stitches until the wee hours! This is by far the best bar to visit in the Gambia, with the best drinks selection, location and service that you could hope for. Make... More

Watching Six Nations last year with my Bikini on and a pint in my hand was surreal. Almost definately the BEST bar we... More
