Franky's Cocktail Spot - Upperhill
Ranked in Best Bars & Lounges in Nairobi
About
The cocktails live up to the hype, and the food section offers everything from burgers to succulent meats. It's lively with great crowds for interaction, but service can be inconsistent and there's minimal parking — Uber there. Go for the drinks and energy, and maybe try the candy shots (espresso, strawberry, peppermint) for something different.

First of all....the waiters of that place are not profecionall...they started a fight over 250 bob which everyone was willing to pay...they didn't want the money...they just wanted to fight. Second of all...drinks and food took too long to get to the table. The supervisor on duty was very accomodating and understanding. The staff is letting that place down. I would not recommend. 0/10 They beat their customers. Over petty money 250 bob??!!!

Very lively spot with great crowds for interaction. Their cocktails do live up to the hype. Great food section with a wide variety ranging from burgers to succulent meats. Only let down is the live DJ. Should improve on that. Great 'sherehe' joint overall!

The place was rather underwhelming. We expected better ambience and service. We had the candy shots (expresso, strawberry and peppermint flavours) - it was an interesting first time experience. Also - there’s minimal parking space thus it’s advisable to Uber there.

One of the best spots in UpperHill. Great service, great food and a generally good ambience. Cocktails are well made and priced
