About

A spacious spot out of town with a separate whisky bar, competitive prices, and a vibe that feels like 1824. The music is cool, the staff are quick, and it's been beautifully renovated after closing for a while.

    A good place to hang out away from town.

    Awesome designs and planning. The wide and spacious setting also is a welcome breath of fresh air. Prices are quite competitive and the staff are quick and courteous. It was closed for renovations some time back but it's now back in operation. I must say it's been affected by the ongoing construction of the Mambo Leo Kisumu highway. Some parts of the road are closed off. Hence, you need to go around the Newly opened Kenyatta International Stadium to avoid the barricade. It was a bit empty when I was around there. Though the music and DJ selections were upbeat.

    China Town is Da Place to be if you need to seriously unwind in a classy sassy out of city environment. The music is super cool, the waiters are so welcoming and their drinks are on another level.
