The popular Simmers Bar and Restaurant in the heart of the city has literally come tumbling down, bringing to an end a long-drawn court battle.

The club, sitting on a prime open space at the junction of Kenyatta Avenue and Muindi Mbingu Street, and popular for live Rhumba music performances, has been operating for 21 years. An unannounced eviction party arrived on Friday, throwing furniture and equipment to the streets.
