Itz Tiffany's Box Bar at Laboma Beach
Since opening less than a year ago, Itz Box Bar at Laboma Beach had grown into one of Accra's most loved leisure spots, drawing a loyal crowd for its laid-back atmosphere, music, and celebrations.
According to the post, the venue became far more than a commercial outlet; it was a gathering point for friendships, milestone celebrations, and countless evenings of dancing and laughter.
"It was more than just a bar. It became a home for good times, friendships, celebrations, laughter, music, and so many unforgettable nights," the statement continued.
The farewell message extended heartfelt gratitude to every patron who had ever visited, brought a friend along, or stopped by for a drink, acknowledging them as central to the bar's identity and spirit throughout its run.
Box Bar Spintex remains open
Despite the heartbreak, Tiffany's Box Bar brand is not shutting down entirely.
The team confirmed that their Spintex location remains fully operational and is ready to receive customers.
"Box Bar Spintex is still here, still active and ready to welcome you," the post stated, reassuring followers that the community built around the brand would live on.
"We may have lost the building, but we haven't lost the memories, the love or the BOX BAR spirit," the message added.

Ghana government's Laboma Beach demolition exercise
Demolition works recently commenced at Laboma Beach in Accra, with personnel moving in to pull down structures erected along the coastline after a government-imposed deadline for owners to vacate the area lapsed.
The Greater Accra Regional Security Council, working in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), had previously issued a 21-day ultimatum in early August directing owners of structures within the Laboma Beach area to clear out.
The demolition exercise forms part of broader post-flood mitigation efforts targeting developments in areas considered environmentally vulnerable, particularly those situated along waterways and the coast.
