Gasaro Club and Lounge

Situated in Mtwapa, the Coastal town that never sleeps, Gasaro Hotel, Club and Lounge, is the new face of showbiz in Kilifi having opened its doors about a year and a half ago. It is situated directly opposite the famous Lambada Club, another iconic showbiz establishment in Mtwapa.

What makes Gasaro unique is the fact that unlike many hotels in the area, it has a swimming pool, a VIP lounge, a restaurant and a separate party joint ideal for a spontaneous night out.

Gasaro has lately become the choice joint for celebrities from Nairobi who frequent the place for concerts as well as general entertainment. The stars like the privacy the establishment offers with most rooms having private balconies and flat screens as well as free Wi-Fi.

Tapas

The newest joint in Mombasa is getting considerable publicity because of being unique, comfortable and well-designed.

The relatively small luxury lounge, in comparison to many clubs in the vibrant port city, is more exclusive, with more mature and discerning clientele, with the meals and refreshments more pricey.

With an efficient service and over 100 cocktails from around the world stocked in a glass-covered, colourful bar, Tapas is becoming more popular with those who prefer a less noisy atmosphere.

A classy lounge with privacy offered in the small booths lining up the farthest walls, the joint has a terrace that also serves as a smoking zone. Mombasa’s leading female DJ Sashy is one of the resident DJs.

During the holiday period or long weekends, the joint is known for charging an exorbitant entrance fee and setting an age limit just to control crowds. At Tapas, less is more

The Lounge

This is where Mombasa happens! Hitherto having gained notoriety for discriminating against unaccompanied female patrons, The Lounge is known for good music and a kicking ambiance.

Situated at the City Mall, the club, which recently opened another space on the rooftop, is one of the best and most popular joints in Mombasa.

Part of the nightlife renaissance that has seen most revellers move away from the traditional joints like Bobs and Lambada, The Lounge is always full inside and outside, where more seats have now been made available under gorgeous canopies. With ample packing available in the mall, it is the place to be.

Skyluxx Sports Pub and Grill,

The club, which witnessed a star-studded event during its launch in 2013, has retained the hype it started with.

Apart from a modern interior and a cool, funky ambiance, the club has hosted a myriad of popular DJs and A-list artistes for theme nights at the sporty joint.

The club has contracted a few popular DJs who entertain revellers almost every weekend.

The joint holds its weight in trying to lure people from the popular City Mall area in to Mtwapa.

La Follia

Alongside Skyluxx, this club has also gotten the approval of revellers who troop in from everywhere to have a taste of the nightlife in Mtwapa. With Spin Cycle’s DJ Bones as part of the popular retinue of DJs rocking the crowds, the well-decorated club, which is an Italian-theme restaurant, is fast gaining traction.

The management has been able to ride the DJ-wave, which is the current showbiz scene, by having a visiting spinmaster at the club with DJ Joe Mfalme set to entertain on August 15th.

Prime Comfort

Also located in Mtwapa, this cool joint has become a big attraction for Bongo artistes who frequent for concerts. It does not only offer a good party atmosphere but also privacy, which celebrities like. Another unique thing about Prime Comfort is that is offers stylish accommodation beginning with 20 themed, self-catered apartments.

Sheba Lounge

Located at the top floor of City Mall, the joint is actually an enclosed penthouse. The Ethiopian-themed club even has shisha that is served the Ethiopian way. Opened in 2012, Sheba has become more popular by the day, with its doors letting in hundreds of revellers every weekend out to enjoy a night out in Mombasa.
