Did you come to this post looking for more information about where to party in Nairobi? Did you just Google ‘clubs near me’? If so, you are in the right place.

Let’s get right to it!

Best Night Clubs in Westlands Nairobi/Nairobi Clubs

If you are looking for a great club to visit today, here’s a list of some of Westlands’ most popular clubs today:

  1. K1 Klubhouse (on Ojijo Road)
  2. Milan (2nd floor, The Mirage Tower 3, Chiromo Road next to the Kempinski Hotel)
  3. Gallileo Lounge Westlands (along Waiyaki Way)
  4. 40Forty Lounge (Crossroad Plaza rooftop, Westlands Road)
  5. Black Diamond (Bishan Plaza, Mpaka Road)
  6. Brew Bistro Fortis (rooftop, Fortis Tower, Woodvale Grove)
  7. Blue Door (Kenrail Towers, Ring Road Parklands)

To be fair, some of these may not be pure night clubs but, as is more common in Nairobi, bars/lounges with dancefloors.

Whatever the case, you will find what you are looking for in a nightclub at most of these establishments, other than perhaps the upscale feel that one expects from a club versus a bar.

If you know of other great clubs in Westlands that are worth a visit in 2023 and beyond, please let me know in a comment below so I can add it to this list.

Nairobi’s city center is not the hottest place in the city to party. It does have its fair share of nightspots, though.

If you are looking for a great club in Nairobi’s CBD, my personal recommendation is Dolce VIP Lounge.

Dolce VIP Lounge is a mainstay of the Nairobi nightlife scene and has been in existence for almost 30 years.

Don’t worry, though, it’s been recently renovated and has become even bigger and better.

I’ve had many a fun night at Dolce over the years and, for me, its virtually impossible to leave Dolce before the wee hours of the morning.

To find out more about Dolce, go here.

  • Samba Restaurant & Pub (Tumaini House, Moi Avenue)
  • City Platinum Club (Commerce House, Moi Avenue)
  • Avenida Lounge & Restaurant (Moi Avenue)

If you know of other great clubs that you’d like to recommend in Nairobi’s central business district, again please let me know in the comment section below!

clubs near me: Florida Club was one of the most popular clubs in Nairobi CBD
Florida Club (Madhouse) on Koinange Street was one of the most iconic clubs in Nairobi CBD for decades. It closed down in 2013 and was demolished a year later after almost 35 years of operation.

A much trendier part of the city is Westlands, about a 10-minute drive away.

If you are not overly committed to visiting one of the clubs in Nairobi CBD, then it might just be worth your while to head out instead to Westlands.

Best Clubs in Nairobi: Best Clubs in Kilimani, Clubs Along Ngong Road & Elsewhere in Nairobi Other Than Westlands & CBD

Many places considered to be clubs in Nairobi are really more bars/lounges with dancefloors. That said, some places you should check out outside Westlands and downtown Narobi are:

  1. B-Club (1st floor, Galana Plaza, Galana Road, Kilimani)
  2. 1824 The Whiskey Bar (Lang’ata Road, opposite The Carnivore Junction)
  3. Brew Bistro & Lounge (Piedmont Plaza, Ngong Road, between Impala Club and The Junction mall)
  4. The Clique Lounge (Royal Square, Ngong Road near Prestige Plaza)

Best Bars in Westlands Nairobi

Other than the places listed above, if you are looking for more of a bar feel than a club feel in Westlands, also check out

  1. The Alchemist on Parklands Road, and
  2. Sarabi Rooftop at Sankara hotel on Woodvale Grove

So…there you’ve got.

Those are some great ideas for where to start if you are looking for a fun night in Nairobi.

  1. Hi Moses!

    Welcome to the ChickAboutTown community!

    Yep, salsa night at the Nairobi Serena is outstanding! That’s currently my preferred salsa night in Nairobi.

    I’ve heard people tell me they don’t like it that much though because of the amount of lighting and the general openness of the space where the dancing takes place (mostly in comparison to the Friday night salsa night at The Intercontinental). Have you been to the salsa night at the Intercon? How do you compare these two nights?

    I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

  2. Hi,

    Just seen your response. Never been to the Salsa at the Intercon. I’ll pass by one of these days. I don’t dance by the way, just tend to watch people do their moves!

  3. Hi Moses,

    Nice to see you back on ChickAboutTown. Yeah, you should check out Intercon on Friday, and if you want to make the jump from salsa watcher to salsa dancer, check out http://www.salsanairobi.com. The instructor whose site that is taught me way back in the day and is really good. (Just in case you are interested in learning how to dance. ;-))

    Cheers,
    Biche

  4. Hello! About 10 years ago, I, together with the dancing command worked for you in The Pavement Night Club, and would like to find the friends: Mr. Karem Vergee, Mr. Sailesh, Mrs. Mo, Mr. Brato, or any who remembers us. Unfortunately has lost all contacts, and old phones do not answer.
