Blue Martini Nairobi Reviews

I haven’t been to Blue Martini yet, so I can’t tell you much about it. If you would like to read some reviews of it, though, here is one.

Blue Martini Location

Blue Martini is located on the 15th floor of Broadwalk Mall on Museum Hill, off Ojijo Road in Parklands.

I am working on getting my hands on a copy of the drinks menu at Gemini Lounge. As soon as I do, I will share it here.

Check back for it soon!

How many of you reading this post partied at the famous Kengeles ABC? I didn’t grow up in Nairobi, but even I partied there a couple of times.

Loud music blasting, young people spilling over into the parking lot at ABC place, this is what comes to mind when I think of Kengeles ABC.

Those were the days (some would say)!

Things have changed, and Kengeles ABC is no more.

In its place is a gorgeous, swank bar by the name of Mercury Lounge!

The Vibe at Mercury Club Nairobi

Walking into Mercury Lounge Nairobi feels like you’ve walked onto the set of Sex and The City or some other show like that.

After my first visit, I commented to my friends that Mercury Lounge felt like a bar in North America or Europe.

Mercury Lounge’s décor is outstanding, complete with fabric covered walls and LCDs on the walls, used by the waiters to place orders and keep track of bills.

Mercury Lounge Nairobi is truly in a league of its own when it comes to décor!

The Drinks at Mercury ABC Place

Unfortunately, the decor at Mercury Lounge is the best thing about it (in my experience).

On the first night I went there, I remember drinking a chichi, fancy-named martini that contained more juice than anything else (yes, please understand that the martini had no punch!).

To add insult to injury, this “martini”, served in a martini glass (you can imagine how small), cost Ksh 450.

What an abomination!

Another thing that turned me off, on this first night at Mercury Lounge, was the ridiculously long line-up to enter the lounge as well as the unnecessary rigidity with which the line-up was handled.

I am no stranger to line-ups and completely understand the need to respect an establishment’s capacity limits.

However, on that night, the bouncer denied a friend of mine entrance to the lounge (until someone exited the lounge first), even though he knew there was a spare seat at our table.

Can an establishment have more seats than its permitted capacity? I doubt it highly!

I was not impressed with what I witnessed at Mercury Lounge that night (except for the fantastic decor).

It took more than a year for me to go back.

Visiting Mercury Nairobi a Year Later

A year and so later, invited by some of my friends for a girls’ night out, I found myself at Mercury Lounge again.

It was still as beautiful as ever and filled with ‘beautiful people’, as a friend of mine likes to say.

It was obviously still an ‘in’ spot, though the hype about it had died down a little.

This time, I saw no line-up.

The drinks were no better. The one thing I did discover that night, though, was that the food at Mercury Lounge is amazing!

The Food at Mercury Lounge Westlands

My friends and I ordered cheese sticks and calamari to accompany our drinks that night.

The calamari was the best I have ever tasted in my life!

The calamari was juicy, moist, and succulent.

The cheese sticks tasted as good as my all time favorite cheese sticks – the ones served at Georgetown Cafe in Washington, DC.

Granted, these were just snacks.

Still, given the nature of the snacks, I think it is safe to say that Mercury Lounge serves good food.

Although I have never been there for full-fledged dinner, this is definitely on my list of things to do!

Dear reader, this is what I have to tell you about Mercury Lounge: It is a beautiful place to be and see, though the drinks (understand: the cocktails) often leave a lot to be desired.

It seems that the food they serve is good, but then again I have not had a full-fledged meal there.

I definitely recommend visiting Mercury Lounge at least once to witness the elegance of the establishment.

Whether you feel the service they provide is commensurate to the cost of service will depend highly on what you value most when you go out.

I think you will enjoy your experience there…at least the first time.

I’d love to hear what you think when you finally make your way there.

Until the next time,
Biche

  2. ur name suggests u originally from west africa, is that so?(sorry for being so nosy). nway girl keep up the good job.

  3. Hi Kenyanised!

    Welcome to the ChickAboutTown community. I am glad that you enjoy my reviews.How did my blog help you the last time you were in Kenya? What did you try out?

    Please don’t excuse yourself for supposed nosiness. Some say that no one could possibly ask more questions than I do. It’s all in getting to know each other. 🙂

    I am actually a Tanzanian national, born of a Ugandan mother. I am not of West African origin, but lived there between the ages of 4 and 18. That would rub off enough West African influence on anyone! 🙂 (By the way, Biche is not my name but merely a nickname.)

    I look forward to seeing more of you around ChickAboutTown!

  4. hey..u shud go back to mercury now, i was there this summer and the cocktails were AMAZING!!!..i had a rasberry something..mind u i’m a hard london girl to please but the barman and barladies know there stuff..mercury uses fresh and quality ingredients..in my opinion its the only lounge in nairobi that can make a mean cocktail..cocktails at hidden agenda are so over-rated and basic

  5. Hi Summerbunny,

    Welcome to ChickAboutTown!

    Thanks for your feedback! I am glad you liked the cocktails at Mercury Lounge. Maybe I should indeed go back. 🙂 I don’t think I have been since you were there last, so maybe the cocktails have gotten better. I’ll check them out and let you know!
