Great place to grab drinks with friends or catch your favorite EPL team in action. More seating space at the back where the DJ will be putting a spell on you with a good selection of music. If looking for privacy like my friends and I, there are numerous inner rooms to book and get served from. I like that I can walk there if I want since its located nearby. Try it today if avoiding crowded scenes like me.

The food is excellent but you best call ahead, order before you get there because it takes a while. Service is top notch. If you like Ol Skool Music this is the place for you.

Nice, mature, laid back set up. Its a house turned restaurant so it has a lot of places to sit; inside and outside. its good for people who want to have meetings; or a good old catch up - they have fantastic cheese samosa. Service is good & parking available

In my view the best hot toddy, good selection of wines and spirits and the cheese samosas are definetly a winner. Customer service is pleasant and timely. Useful spaces for private group meetings. Parking is limited otherwise a good joint overall.

For an evening drink with friends while having a chat, this is perfect. They have a very well appointed cigar lounge. If hosting distinguished guests especially cigar connoisseurs, this is the place.

Its a lovely chilled out tavern with great ambiance and a nice garden. The waiters and waitresses are nice. The meals are prepared on order so its important to order 1 hour in advance so dont go there too hungry.

Good music that doesnt get too loud, so you can still have conversations. Service can be hit or miss depending on who you get.

Was there out b of curiosity, checking it out. They have a great ambience and an impressive whiskey and cigar collection. Whiskey and cigar lovers will be impressed. Didnt eat that day but I hear they do great nyama choma.

The place is vibrant, always busy. Whether you want to just have drinks, watch football or have some food or even smoke cigars (they have a cigar room with the cigars in the cool room). They have different rooms for those who want to be private. The food is great and well-preserved. The service is great. It is tucked behind Ole Dume road and not easy to find.

Very cozy. Seems to be a converted bungalow. The chicken wings are tangy, the way I like them but the servings are a bit small. Good place to have a quiet, unhurried drink.

Possibly Nairobis best Whisky bar. Its quiet, prompt service and the music played here isnt necessarily current pop. That to me is one of the appealing qualities of a good bar. One that doesnt conform to new trends. The food here is proper. Their whisky ranges from Scottish, Irish, Japanese, Bourbons to Rye. Theyre single malts, to blended and grain ones. They also serve wine, beer, vodka among other alcoholic drinks. If youre the type that prefer a conversation over a drink, this is an ideal tavern for you.

This is a nice chilled spot. Good old school music selection and a wide array of whiskies for the connoisseur. Also attracts a more mature crowd. Definitely a place to check out

Sad neighbour who doesnt appreciate the noise from Thursday to Sunday. My son has asked me why they are so inconsiderate to kids. I love the rhumba on Wednesday when I do go. Never too loud.

Great music, great hospitality, just dont like it when they are unable open tap, instead you get a pile of slips after your orders. Otherwise great place to relax and have fun

Im a regular here and place is really classy with majority of middle aged clientele. Like that there are no rowdy crowds. Partitioned with different setups and themes of sitting areas. Outdoor sitting available as well. Music always has good volume to afford convo without yelling. Like that its tucked away. However service is not top notch and parking is rather limited. A wait for a drink can take forever, and meals even worse. A lot left to be desired in this regard.

Very nice place to chill with friends and a glass of whiskey or brandy. Clientele is mostly middle aged. Many rooms decorated with different styles so you and your friends can feel relaxed in a privacy. There is also a common space. Except for drinks they serve chicken wings, hamburgers and very nice pizza. If you like cigars this is also a place for you.

A lively bar and restaurant. Great drink selection, beautiful outdoor sitting and good place to catch big games. If you live close by, do yourself a favor and just Uber it. Parking is quite limited and fills up fast. Getting in and out can be a challenge on busy nights because of its location

One of my favorite places in the city to hang out, grab a pint and just chill. Polite staff, good music, great feel, mature crowd, and pocket-friendly too! Excellent joint! 10/10!
