Another weekend is upon us and you know what that means! if you don’t, that’s probably because you are an old foggy.
But if you do then you know what Uncle Chim Tuna is about to do… Drum roll please…
And we begin! Think about it, it’s time i celebrated the highlights of Nairobi nightlife. What are some of the things you love about raving in Nairobi’s top spots? Let’s jump right in:
#1. Theme Nights
The Kenyan entertainment scene has matured in leaps and bounds over the past 2 years. Before then, if you went out to a themed night, you would be the only one dressed as per the theme night. But no more! Skyuluxx and Volar are some of the venues that have popularised theme nights. Check out this article on Skyluxx’ “White Tee” party.
#2. Beautiful women
No frontin’! Kenya has some very beautiful women and most are vampires -they only come out after dusk. and these days more and more women are dressing for the night. They are now coming out in dresses and looking spiffy! Gone are the days when women thought it cool or even passable to be spotted in jeans or worse… jeggings *shudder*.
And if your date comes donning jeans, ditch her at the door and get your Charlie Sheen on!

#3. Freebies
These days, clubs are investing more in customer satisfaction ergo they are beginning to give their clientele freebies. This truly is the way to go especially if people have to pay to get to the VIP section. And we know how you Kenyans have an affinity for freebies.

#4. 24hr transportation
There are routes that are serviced by public transportation 24hrs a day meaning that now unlike a few years ago, you can club hop even when you are relying on matatus as your sole means of transportation you can get to the “watu” clubs without any stress.
#5. Food is abundant
There are food vendors everywhere you turn in areas like Westlands, Lang’ata and Nairobi West. Only problem is discerning which will turn you into a toilet squatter and which will stave away the hunger. I have found that while Nairobi West’s eateries have rats that look like puppies, the food will nourish you while the food vendors in Westlands enjoy a twisted game of Russian Roulette with your stomach.
#6. Unlimited Number Of Clubs
Nairobi has a club that caters to each and everyone’s taste and wallet these days. From Molly’s and Monte Carlo to the more exclusive *wink* Changes, to Skyluxx to the more impressive and financially oppressive Brew Bistro and Mercury to the exquisite Champagne Bar.
The clubs even cater to old foggies such as Sailors and Tribeca and Rafikis.
#7. Improved Club Service
And here i’m talking about bouncers. Clubs such as Brew and Volar have friendly staff. The bouncers at these establishments have been properly trained on how best to deal with clientele -even those of Neanderthal tendencies.
