Sky Lounge sits right at the heart of Nairobi CBD, on the ground floor opposite International House, making it one of those convenient stopovers whether you’re rushing to a meeting, catching up with friends, or just dodging Nairobi traffic for a breather. The vibe? Urban chic meets cozy chill — perfect for quick lunches, business coffee breaks, or unwinding in the evening. Their menu strikes a balance between tasty bites, refreshing drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a small city escape in the middle of Moi Avenue’s buzz. Being right next to major landmarks like Kencom, Hilton Hotel (heritage spot), and the busy Mama Ngina Street, it’s a natural meeting point. The best part? You don’t even need to explain too much when meeting someone — just say “opposite International House” and everyone instantly gets it.

The drinks were fantastic! Even though the service was a bit slow, I could always find the waitress and get her to put in another order. The rooftop part of the establishment was great too! I was able to grab a drink with a friend and listen to the live music on the street below. Overall, it was the right vibe for a Saturday afternoon!

My go to the cocktail place in Nairobi. First things first is the view from the balcony. A nice place toast enjoy your food and drinks, while taking in fresh air, and taking the environment around Their cocktails are very potent. Happy hour 4-6pm (I think) the cocktails go for 500/= (select cocktails). My favorite is sex on the beach. And what I love about it is no headaches later. Introduced my friends here and they loved it, we even got two bowls of popcorns as accompaniments on the house.

The decor is too plain - no character-can't tell the style of the owner. The benches are fixed yet very far from the table so wondering how to sit. Asked for water for washing my hands. (at least this is available - VERY IMPORTANT). It seems they forgot Steak too salty (UNACCEPTABLE) - if this was CHOPPED, that chef would be on the chopping block) but concept def there & 😋 For a drink, i got the Jack daniels, peppermint & coke one - strrrong but 😋. Drink it fast enough or remove some ice if taking it slowly The good thing with covid, music is gentle. U can follow a conversation easily not shouting "what did u say?" with every statement After my meal, i still had room for more popcorn meaning not filling enough The server was chatty so could give my feedback Highlight was the supervisors/managers are hands on - they serve u personally then hand over the order. Rare & kudos.

The ambience is amazing and the staff is attentive and fast. The food is okay. I requested for extra spicy wings but I didn't get that plus my chicken wings were partly raw
