Whiskey River Lounge & Grill

Partying along Kiambu Road has recently become a risky affair. This is due to an increase in cases of men getting drugged using the infamous “MCHELE”, and robbed in clubs on this road. However, since my friend was hosting her birthday celebrations at Whiskey River, I had no choice but to risk partying there. Which is something I have only done once before. I arrived at Whiskey River at around 11.30 pm. Which is usually the best time to arrive at any club in Nairobi. If by 11.30 pm a club isn’t popping, I suggest you either find another party or go home. Thankfully, the crowd was big, the music was thumping and everyone was having a good time. Whiskey River is a really big club so we were able to find seating space. We ordered beers, whiskey and gin for the night. Bottle prices were expensive as is the norm for all the popular clubs in Nairobi. And beers were going for 250/= to 350/= per bottle depending on the brand. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that they had shisha, which we also ordered. The music here was really good and we danced the night away. Whiskey River is spacious, so dancing and moving around was never a hustle. A lot of clubs in Nairobi are crammed making it hard to dance or even walk. So this is a big point for Whiskey River. By 5 am we were tired and ready to head home. We were satisfied with the experience and I would head back there once they sort out their drugging problem.
