Casablanca Near Me: What and Where Is Casablanca Club?

Casablanca was a lounge bar/nightclub (do you think that is an apt description?), located in Kilimani on Chaka Road, off its intersection with Lenana Road.

Located in the same complex as my favorite Italian restaurant in Nairobi, Osteria del Chianti, Casablanca was all the rage when it first opened its doors about two decade ago.

At the time, it was a member’s only (or so I was told) up-market establishment known for its great decor, swanky crowd, and interesting—though expensive—cocktails.

I first heard about Casablanca from a friend who lives in that neighborhood. She thought the establishment beautiful and all of a sudden seemed to frequent nowhere else.

My friend’s description and enthusiasm about Casablanca sparked mine too, though I was a bit weary of the establishment because it seemed to me as place that was more interested in creating an air of exclusivity than focused on offering excellent service.

Although, I resisted it at first, I eventually found myself at Casablanca to celebrate this same friend’s birthday the following year.

The Decor at Casablanca Kenya

I loved the decor at Casablanca!

The proprietors of the establishment have done everything in their power to truly make Casablanca feel like an Arabian hideout located somewhere very far from Nairobi.

    to play for a very mixed crowd not like other

    cheers !!!!!!!

    1. hello !! we were playin there for one and a half years from 2006 and after we started is when the cover charge was introduced , we then left and were called back in by the managment . !! currently we just play at private functions cause clubs dont pay fairly for the services you provide !! cheers Dj deshal soul sounds entertainment nairobi

      1. Thanks for sharing. That means the chances are high that you were playing on a night when I was at Casablanca. Allow me to say, then, that your music rocks! I don’t think I’ve ever been to Casablanca and found the music less than great. Thanks for getting back to me.

  2. Hi DJ Deshal,

    When did you use to DJ at Casablanca? If I partied there on a night when you were DJ-ing, than thanks a mill for the great music! 🙂 How does DJ-ing for a racially diverse crowd differ from DJ-ing for a crowd made up of mostly one race (just out of curiosity)?

    You say you were the resident DJ at Casablanca. Is there a place where you DJ now where we can come hear you play? What kind of music do you play?

  3. Hi,

    I love your blog! I’ve been living here for awhile and tend to share your opinions. Casablanca indeed has a shady feel. On the other hand it also has some of the best music, a crowded dance floor and a very mixed crowd. Unfortunately when I was there in December it also had a cover charge again.

    1. Hi Em,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I am glad you like my blog.

      Casablanca, has a cover charge again? Thanks for sharing. How much was it the last time you went?

      Biche

    1. Lol, are you one of those people who thinks of all outing expenses in terms of the cost of beer? (My father does that often too.) So, basically they simply reinstated the cover charge at the same price it had always been. Thanks for sharing the info! 🙂

          2. Hi DJ Deshal,

  5. Dear Biche, this is very well written and describes Casablanca very well. I live on the Karen side of town, which means I wouldn’t go there often, nor would my daughters age 20 – 17, but have been a couple of times and per your point the Maliahs were a bit much for me! The decor is beautiful.But we can get that at the Talisman. Most of the White Older Kenyans prefer good old Rock and Roll. Techno is just a bit too much, hence we prefer to go to Karen Country Lodge these days on a Thursday night as they mix it up. Take Care and keep having fun where ever you are in Kenya!

    1. Hi Tana,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown! I am pleased to know that you found my review accurate.

      Talisman, ooohhhh! I love that place. It’s simply gorgeous. I used to live in Karen and know how it takes a lot to take one out of Karen, especially with all the beautiful places to socialize that exist there. I’ve never been to Karen Country Lodge though. Is that new? I’d love to hear more about it.

      I look forward to seeing more of you around here.

      Cheers,
      Biche
