About

A great spot for drinks in Kilimani with the perfect blend of coastal charm and city energy. The space is beautifully designed with a modern seaside vibe — just bring a lot of patience, as it gets very busy and service can be quite slow.

    Oyster Bay is a great spot for drinks, but you definitely need a lot of patience. It gets very busy, and the service can be quite slow. After we arrived and sat down, we waited almost 30 minutes without anyone coming over to take our order. We had to repeatedly look for a waiter or ask someone for help, and even then, we were told they would get our server, but no one returned for a while. That said, everything else was enjoyable. The vibe is really nice and the atmosphere is great. I absolutely loved the drinks. Despite the long wait, they were well made and worth it. The bartender did a great job, especially when we asked for customizations to our drinks. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either.

    I’ve visited Oyster several times and I genuinely love the ambience. However, I was disappointed with my recent experience when I ordered beef nachos for takeaway. In the past, the portions have been pretty decent, but this time the quality was way below par. For KSh 1,750, the nachos barely had any beef as purported, which was quite disappointing when I opened my package at home. Consistency in service and portion quality is important, and unfortunately this experience fell short of what I’ve come to expect.

    The food was great. The ambience was lovely. The toilet was decent. Wish they can make it a lot nicer though

    Oyster Bay in Kilimani is the perfect blend of coastal charm and city energy. The space is beautifully designed with a modern seaside vibe, making it ideal for dining, drinks, or just unwinding with friends. Their seafood stands out, fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned; while the cocktails are some of the best around. The music and ambiance create a lively yet classy atmosphere, especially in the evenings. It can get quite vibrant on weekends, so it’s great if you enjoy an upbeat crowd. Overall, Oyster Bay delivers a stylish dining experience that feels like a beach escape right in the city.

    ✨ Osta Bay vibes ✨ Met up with my long-time friend here and honestly, I was blown away the moment I walked in. The interior is gorgeous — lots of greenery (okay, plastic plants but they look sooo real 😅), airy, spacious, and the high ceiling just makes it feel so fresh. We sat down for good conversation with music at the perfect volume — chill during the day, then gradually getting a bit livelier in the evening without being overwhelming. 🎶 Food time 👇 I went for fish fillet with chips (would have loved it more if it was breadcrumb-coated instead of the dry flour layer that cracked like a mandazi 🥲) while my friend had steak and chips which was absolutely yum! 🥩🍟 We paired it all with a few shots of tequila 🍋🥂 — celebrating my beautiful 40th birthday gift (a stunning piece of art 😍). All in all, loved the space, loved the vibe, and loved the company. Definitely a spot I’d go back to! 💛
