Conclusion
Before visiting these establishments, consider the location and whether you will have a safe means of transport back home at the end of the night. Also, checking the operating hours for the place you want to visit allows you to plan your arrival and departure times accordingly, and also see if you can visit more than one club during the night. Some of the bars above also offer food items like ugali and nyama choma and would form the ideal place to spend your Saturday or Sunday afternoons. To attract more guests, they also host popular music artists during the weekends which could mean a larger crowd if that is what you prefer. On the other hand, if you like smaller gatherings, visit during weekdays when the joints are not as crowded and you can enjoy a less noisy environment.
