Chop Bar
A Chop bar is a traditional eatery in Ghana[1][2] mostly located in Southern Ghana[3] also known as local eating base.[4] Meals are served in local earthenware bowls and foods are usually eaten at the premises.[5] Most of these bars are stocked with local alcoholic drinks with few foreign drinks available. It is an important cultural icon of Ghanaian particularly in the southern part[6] and is a huge favourite of the locals. One thing that makes Chop Bars unique are their names like "don’t mind your wife chop bar" and bush canteen.[7][8][9]
