Going to the discotheque was a popular entry in the diaries of many Nairobians, who wanted to paint the town all colours of the rainbow. A typical night owl was spoilt for choice: Beat House, Lips, Visions, Bubbles, Club Boomerang, Mamba Disco, Beauty and the Beast, Brilliant, Holly-Mbao and Zigzag.
But discos chewed a blackout come the mid 1990s when only the Floridas, the Carnivore and Dolce the Club on K-Street called the shots. They still do.
