The Velar Lounge

Velar Lounge is the newest club in the Kahawa area. Located inside an ultramodern building with a beautiful glass façade, this club has been attracting a lot of Kahawa residents on the weekends. I recently partied here with my friends, and I was impressed. The interior is beautiful with an outdoor and indoor seating area. Each has its VIP section. The music system here is also incredible, but unfortunately, the DJ who was playing the night I attended was really bad. However, Dj Grauchi performed here a few weeks later, so it seems I just chose a bad weekend to patronize the joint. The drinks here are also affordable, and their roasted meat is some of the best I have had. If this club keeps up with the service, it might soon become the most popular club on Thika Road.

I have been to several lounges along Thika road but not velar. A couple of weeks back, my friend decided to have his birthday at the place. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect considering it’s a place I’ve never been. We got there at around 5 pm. You can’t tell how it looks from the highway even though it is right next to it. Getting in, I was impressed. Beyond impressed. It has an outside lounging area and also an inside one. The outside part has a beautiful lawn. The feel is rustic with wooden everything. They also have a VIP area for the outside lounge and an upstairs VIP area for the inside lounge. The drinks are very affordable but the part I enjoyed most was their nyama choma. It like nothing I’ve tasted before. It was an amazing experience.
