Bld

BLD by Play, located at 15A Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, was a vibrant multi-concept venue that combined a restaurant, bar, and lounge under one roof. The name BLD stood for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, reflecting its all-day service and flexibility for guests seeking anything from a quick morning bite to an evening hangout. Known for its affordable buffet service typically priced around ₦2,000–₦2,500 BLD offered a variety of both local Nigerian and continental dishes, attracting a diverse crowd of residents, professionals, and leisure seekers.

The venue’s layout was one of its key draws.

A private lounge area called The Louvre catered to more intimate gatherings or exclusive events. This flexibility made BLD ideal for lunch meetings, casual socializing, date nights, or celebratory get-togethers.
