Ghana's Bloom Bar Elevating Nightlife and Hospitality with: Kofi Maafo

Let's discuss entrepreneurial change.

 

This means being open to new ideas, taking calculated risks, and experimenting with different approaches. Since its founding in 2017, Bloom Bar has been the preeminent nightlife destination in Ghana’s capital, Accra. It is renowned across the continent for its signature, down-to-earth ambience, carefully curated cocktails, expert mixologists, and inimitable vibes. Bloom Bar was envisioned by lifelong friends and business partners Keith Edem Aweke and Kofi Adjei Maafo as a way to bring their love of elevated hospitality to their home. They aimed to create a must-visit open-air bar experience for Ghanaians and tourists alike. By creating career opportunities in hospitality and providing unpretentious five-star service for everyone, Bloom Bar has become a model for new venues, elevating the nightlife and hospitality industries across West Africa and beyond.

 

Bloom Bar founders Kofi Adjei Maafo and Keith Edem Aweke have decades of collective experience in the experiential hospitality space. Kofi gained his Executive MBA from the University of Ghana in August 2014 and is currently slated to enroll in Cornell University in 2022 to receive his Executive Masters in Hospitality Management. A lifelong entrepreneur, he has prioritized contributing to the business development of Ghana and Africa, working across industries including agriculture, fitness, and, of course, hospitality since 2011. Now a cultural phenomenon with a loyal audience and nearly 40,000 followers across digital platforms, Bloom Bar has inspired the next generation of Ghanaian entrepreneurs to pursue sectors that may seem like a risk. “This industry has always existed. But the issue was how people perceived it. Now, the next generation of bars opening has an understanding that you don’t just come into this to make drinks - you need to make an impact on the lives of the people you employ and through the quality of service you provide.”

 

To date, Bloom Bar has been nominated for three categories at the GEM Hospitality Awards, taking home “Best Night Life” and “Best Game Changer.” They are looking to open new locations in Labbone, Accra, and Atlanta GA with details to come.
