Had a lovely dinner at the Brew Bistro, but had to move off the terrace as the Band was so loud that I could not hear my dinner companion at all. We moved into the dining room, which was almost deserted. The terrace was hopping (it was a Thursday evening). Food was tasty, just the right amount, and the service... More

Have been to the bar before but it gets sooo crowded after a while it's a nasty experience and you have to leave. The bar is very small and on populate night of the weeks it's a nightmare being there is,Olaf to being a sardine in a can and waiter service collapses at that point. I did go to the... More

Wonderful lunch, the beef is amazing. Had not been here for about one year. Good to go back and see the quality is still up to per. Should consider a solution for the beer smell that hits one the moment you get to the entrance of the restaurant. Stale beer, not really a welcoming smell.

It's a good location, good setting. On a slow night, you may be happy. On a busy night - do not bother. Staff are slow, will try inflate your bill, will be rude and despite engagement with management, they will do nothing about it. Have had several unfortunate incidences here, with staff, one including being confronted with a broken beer... More

This is an interesting place because they have a back room of sorts that has fine dining, but then the front part of the restaurant becomes a lively bar area on weekends. If you're there for dinner on a weekend try not to sit next to the door as the waiters only have one way in and out of the... More

This is definitely the gem of Nairobi I decided to meet with a friend here just to catch up. I had never been here previously and, it took me a long drive which was absolutely worthwhile. At the Bistro and, as we waited for our table, I got a chance to study the decor. The restaurant had a simple yet... More

Had an amazing meal in the fine dining room (try the risotto and don't forget to make a reservation!) and then went to the bar. Great drinks, fun and really upbeat vibe. You can hang out by the bar and try a variety of cocktails and beers and then make your way to the dance floor for a fantastic night!... More

With teh choice of beers brewed in the house, it is a unique experience in Nairobi. A bit pricy but a very tasty and luxurious ambiance. The choice of place for a trendy invitation.

A boy’s night out started with drinks in the bar, beer as good as always. We moved on to the Butchers Block restaurant, It was nice to get the amouse-bouche to begin with but one of my fellow diners said it was the same dish as the previous month, so a change would be good and the waiter just put...
