Top Nairobi Club Accused Of Serving Cockroaches And Harbouring Prostitutes

There is just something about cockroaches that triggers my gag reflex now imagine those creepy crawlies in your food. Pretty gross right?

A few Kenyans were treated to this rude shock when they found a cockroach in their food after allegedly coughing up 18,000 for a meal. Gypsy bar is the accused venue that served up a dish with a side of cockroach

A person by the name Ercik M had this to say about his nasty visit there

“Quite appalled by their service on the 23rd of September 2014! And it was a first visit for most of us, in a group of 6.
1. They serve us cockroach which wasn’t even part of our menu… nor was it what we ordered
2. Their manager Francis Wood was unapologetic about it… Disgusted by their service and hygiene! Disgruntled customer!

After this complaint to them, this was their DISGUSTING RESPONSE to my colleague (Please note we paid the bill in full, about $200 or Kshs 18,000):

“Dear S,

The cockroach was found in the starter portion of your meal. However after complaining, and voicing your disgust, you and the other 6 people on the table continued and completed your main course with satisfaction, You then demanded a full discount on all the items consumed, .threatening to post your carefully taken photo on social media and other media.. Francis rightly offered you a partial discount.

We note with interest that the cockroach is on the plate and not put aside, which any reasonable person would have done. Your picture clearly shows that you enjoyed the dish with the cockroach on it.
You may have found this an opportune moment to claim a free meal for you and others on the table. This was not possible as your table happily consumed all the food ordered despite the cockroach. This seemed contradictory, and attempting to claim a free meal with threats was done in bad taste.
Gipsy Bar strives to provide a quality product at all times and we highly regret this incident.

Gipsy Bar”

“The manager was in no way remorseful for the incident.
I have attached the said cockroach. And if anyone would like a video of the other roach that was walking around nonchalantly let me know, I shall gladly share it with you. They should be ashamed for the kind of treatment they dished us. “The clearly dissatisfied and revolted customer concludes.

Other customers allege an even bigger issue, the presence of prostitutes in the popular hang-out joint. Something which came as a shock to me because I have known for the longest time that Gypsy was a gay bar!

We called up the management at Gypsy but our calls went unanswered.
