Brew Bistro & Lounge

Top choice in Nairobi


Craft beers have been slow to take off in Nairobi, but Brew is a lesson in how to do things. The rooftop bar is a beacon of the Nairobi night for its heady mix of German beers, salsa dancing and live music. With five beers emerging from its brewery, great views and good snacks, it's a favourite to head to after dark.

It also does a fine Sunday brunch (11am to 4pm) to help you nurse that hangover.
