Karen is a nice quiet neighbourhood. Nice weather, great people and the hustle and bustle of the CBD is non existent once you arrive. This however, does not mean it should be taken for a boring hum drum location. Some of the best nights I’ve had have been in Karen. So if you recently moved there, want to have a change of ambiance and you’re planning on ‘gettin jiggy wit it’, these places would create a night to remember.
1. Que Pasa Bar & Bistro
Undeniably Karen’s most popular bar and bistro, Que Pasa will guarantee you a worthwhile experience. It is also one of my all time favourite spots whenever I am in Karen. The warm, receptive crowd, the refreshing ambiance and the exceptional staff will make you feel right at home. Que Pasa is never dull. They are always finding fun events and new menu items that make any ordinary week fun and hip. Featuring an extensive food and drinks menu, you will always be spoilt for choice.
2. Purdy Arms
I haven’t been here yet, but by the buzz my friends are having about this place, looks like I’m going to be there this weekend! Purdy Arms is located in a secluded area with lush gardens and trees in their prime – An ambiance that competes with no other. Frequented by locals and expatriates, Purdy Arms is never short of a good time. They have a jukebox (when was the last time you saw that?) that plays tunes from all different eras.
3. Hemmingways Nairobi
Hemmingways is nothing short of class. Once you walk in, you feel special. Besides the fact that you can have some of th best steaks in Nairobi, their bar area presents an exclusive ambiance.
