  • 5/5 Asya with a Y. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is GREAT! Landing is the best host. Five of us entered this establishment with not much expectation. He gave us the option to sit at the bar, a table, or even better we could be set up with chairs and an umbrella on the beach. We chose the latter of course. Be prepared for multiple sellers offering they're wares. They have great prices if you want to start your souvenir shopping. Also attempted to ride a horse, ummm that wasn't for me,but super cute horse.It was such an amazing day that we came back and brought in the NEW Years there. OMG for new years eve they had an amazing buffet, great entertainment, and fireworks. The vibe here is great, food is delish, and they have a pretty good bar selection.

    I visited this place as a seaman who came to have a rest after a hard day of work. The staff was nice and friendly, the prices are reasonable and the food was great. A live band was performing that day on the stage. Also I had an opportunity to observe the sunset having a glass of whiskey. A good place to drink, eat, listen to music and relax.

    (Translated by Google) Nice beach bar where you can relax on a beach bed during the day. They bring drinks (alcohol, non-alcohol and cocktails) and snacks. In the evening there is often live music which is very pleasant. It is very quiet on Wednesday evening. The service is very friendly. We had a nice time, thanks to the "our" waiter (photo). (Original) Leuke strandbar waar je overdag lekker op een strandbedje kunt liggen. Drankje (alcohol, non-alcohol en cocktails) en hapje komen ze brengen. 's-Avonds is er vaak live muziek wat erg gezellig is. Op woensdagavond is het erg rustig. De bediening is erg vriendelijk. Wij hebben een leuke tijd gehad, mede dankzij de "onze" ober (foto).

    (Translated by Google) Obviously this is the "Poco loco beach bar" Maybe should be merged. (Original) Handelt sich hier augenscheinlich um die "Poco loco beach bar" Sollte vielleicht zusammengeführt werden.

    Perfect place for a great evening to spend with your friends. We were there last sunday. It was so nice and relaxing. And the music! Great band. Also the lady, who owns the bar, was singing on thexstage. Congratulations for great performance.

    Very nice place. Good food and good service. Directly at the beach.

  • 1/5 Keith H. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been visiting Gambia for over 25 years and always found Come Inn warm and welcoming. But this year for some reason the bar service standards have declined so much. No warm welcome just a unhelpfull attitude and a feeling some staff didn't want to be there, particular the evening barmaid. Come on get back to the great place it used to be. It's supposed to be the Smiling Coast.

  • 4/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 wessel s. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is located very close to the sea which is nice. They regularly have music events. Food is good but somehow this place did not give away the Gambian charm as other places might.

  • 4/5 de k. 1 year ago on Google
    Not very good food but the ambiance was there. The bands were good but the discotheek was nat very nice lots of people with drugs.

  • 2/5 Leo 6. 4 months ago on Google
    The environment is nice but the food is not so well. The burger is dry and salty and the milk shake is watery also, my friend order a crepe and it tastes awful.

    POCO LOCO BEACHBAR GAMBIA = Nice Beachbar by the sea. We visited this Bar in the late afternoon after we made our sea sidewalk. There were lots of foreigners sitting under the native umbrellas outside drinking cocktails, beers or soft drinks while watching the sunset. Some are sitting on the terrace hearing music and enjoying their dinner. They have a cocktail bar, playing live bands in the evening, and serve typical Gambian buffets dishes too. We went there only to drink something. The guy who served us was very friendly and very communicative also gave us some information about interesting tourists spots in Gambia.

    BE AWARE this place! They charge different than ordered, refuse to correct bill and insult customer. Extremely bad service and fooling customer extra. Food dry and portions small. Definetly not going back. Along the beach there are so much better places with good food and polite service. Skip this place!

    I wish the music played was more African culture than European. After all we are in Africa other music is more k but it really enhances the atmosphere. Thanks

  • 2/5 Ry Da V. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice beach and atmosphere. The locals on the beach are very friendly and helpful... HOWEVER, drinks are wildly overpriced compared to the shop close by 180 dalasi for local beer compated to 100 everywhere else for example and the food was terrible. (Bought a beef and a chicken benachin) both barely edible. Also had to wait over 30 mins for cocktails

  • 5/5 harriet w. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience having dinner with my child and sister during our holiday. Staff were very accommodating, particularly both young men Lamin and Bamba who greeted us and made us feel comfortable as we had small talk with them. we came in the evening when it was cold and a staff member there really kindly gave us a blanket to cover ourselves. The food was really tasty. I had the fried fish while the others had chicken.

  • 5/5 Folake 1 year ago on Google
    The live music is amazing and the food is the best!! When you go, be sure to try the roasted chicken. The staff is great!! Hands down a great time if you like live bands, good food, and dancing.

    I really enjoyed my food here and music were top notch.

  • 5/5 Andy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great local tourist bar on the edge of the beach. Offers table service and surrounded by decent wind breaks making it a little cosier from that Atlantic breeze.

  • 3/5 Yusupha F. 7 years ago on Google
    Good restaurant owned by the owners of African Adventure Tours. Its an ideal spot for weekends at the beach with friends.

  • 5/5 Bubacarr S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Tyra H. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed myself, I didn't get a chance to eat anything however I most definitely enjoyed the entertainment. My next visit I will try the food.

  • 4/5 Cheryl L. D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was very good. I have never eaten barracuda fish and it was excellent. The service was great and directly on the beach. They also have a live band on Friday and Saturday nights.

  • 1/5 Sachally N. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place and the food is good too but the waiters are awful. No service whatsoever...I previously had to wait for about 15 minutes to get my bill. The waiter who served me was eating and no one else could give me my bill. No I'm sitting for almost 20 minutes without a single waiter bringing the menu. I had to go and ask for it.
