    I am a bit biased when it comes to this one. Its my local. The live band rhumba on Thursday's and Saturday's is fantastic and Sir Elvis brings the house down on Sunday's with country music. The food is good too. I highly recommend.

    One of my favourite night out spots in Nairobi. They have live bands most Friday and Saturday nights from 8.00 pm to 2.00 am. Sound is balanced. You can hold a conversation even with the band playing. Lots of secure parking. It is pricey, but definitely in sync with the ambiance and experience. It is a strictly cashless joint, so card or mobile money. Only downside is that they do not have a power generator! In the event of a power outage, the party is over.

    A great open bar/restaurant located along Riverside drive in Nairobi that has the best live Rhumba band playing on Fridays and Saturdays. If you're the kind that likes to let loose and shake a leg to great Rhumba this is definitely one place you have to visit!

    Had a very nice evening listening to great live music and snacking on nyama choma and chips. Our server did a great job. Nice place.

    It was on a Friday and Les Wanyika was playing so it was a busy evening. The waiters seemed overwhelmed, could take a while to take your order and even so, they'd sometimes forget. We had to wait for over 2 hours for the food, which came and tasted bland like it had zero spices, and they had still gotten the order wrong. I'll give it 3 stars because the music was good, regardless.

    Pots and Palms at the Office Park complex is the perfect place in the neighbourhood for mature drinking accompanied by an excellent live band and a mature crowd. You are left yearning for more by the time they close at midnight.

    Good food, ambience and music

  • 3/5 Jackline M. 5 years ago on Google
    The service in the food section was not great. The buffet price indicated was different from what I was told to pay. The buffet was not great either since the choices are greatly limited. The service ladies behaved like they were been forced to work actually I had to go and ask for water to wash my hands after eating since they had also taken it away despite having dining clients. The bar was however good with good service from the men who ensured we were served well.

    Iโ€™m a very disappointed client. I placed an order for 1Kg goat meat dry fry and what came was a small potion of burnt meat. When I complained, the chef had the guts to send the waitress to inform us that he had removed the bones. Really! No one seemed bothered by the complaint. I would not recommend anyone to have a meal there. The joint is good for free Lingala music.

    Great neighbourhood pub with live band playing on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! You can have early breakfast and meals here. Decent pub food is served here. Try the popular fried chicken wings (with chilli & coriander) with fries. Here the waiters greet you by hand if you're a regular.
