Luanda is a very expensive and chaotic city.
A beer (Heineken 250 ml) costs between 3 to 4 usd in a bar.
Main dish at a normal/good restaurant 25 to 30 usd (each)
Traffic is terrible and the airport a total chaos. Just be patient on both.
Places to go out at night: Chill out (Friday&Saturdays), Palos (Thursday).
Good restaurants: Caribe, Coconuts, Cais de Quatro, (located in the "Ilha" and are outdoors) Pintos, Pims (indoors and more formal and business oriented).
Bars to have a beer: Portugalia, or Cafe del Mar (try the “caipirinha” in the last mentioned).
Tourist place to visit: Mussulo island, although is better during summer.
Best Hotels: Tropico, Alvalade, Continental. (suggest to book in advance)
Do not try to drive unless all your papers are in order, otherwise the police will try to "assault" you if caught.
Try not to use the cellphone while in the traffic jam.
Supermarkets: Shoprite or Intermarket. (the last one is very expensive).
Place to find easy ladies

: Pub Royale. (as previously said, never go alone).
People never leave tips because the service sucks.

Enjoy it is not so bad.
If more questions, just ask.
Cheers.
