Friday Night at Brew Bistro and Lounge

Brew Bistro and Lounge one of the popular spots in Nairobi. The bistro is famous with its own beer, where you get to taste different kinds.  We dined at Brew Bistro few months back. By that time dinning room and lounge area was separate, and you were able to have a quite candle light dinner. However, when we went there last Friday night, it was a shock to see dining and lounge area kinda combined! Dining table quantity significantly dropped and tables got too close to each other! Unfortunately both areas were very very crowded and a bit noisy for me.

There is a security check at the entrance by the bodyguards which is unusual. You do not get to being checked by bodyguards here in restaurants. So not sure if I should feel safe or not...

When I dine and pay a good amount of money I would like to take it easy and have a quite dinner. Unfortunately the music was very hip not a fine dining restaurant type! And it is little bit too crowded, people had to get in line to be able to use restrooms!

Brew Bistro is highly popular among wealthy young Kenyans as well as expat community. I think this is one of the reason why it is so crowded!

Menu has also changed, there are more options now, but I still recommend either the burger or the meat. Since Brew Bistro is one the few places offer Angus beef. Service was not bad, since slow service is one of the bothering thing in here. There were plenty of waitresses and they were very attentive. Food was very good. They have an extensive wine and alcohol menu ranging from reasonable to expensive prices so you have plenty of choice there.

And by the way, reservation is definitely recommended for Friday and Saturday nights. Little bit of a tip 'Eatout Kenya' offers online reservation.
