THE DAWN OF THE CHAMPAGNE BAR

In Kenya people embrace revolutions. They take ideas and run with them. For instance in late 2011,2012 and 2013 lounges sprung up in the capital. People appreciated relaxing and listening to slow music under the dimmed lights. This saw the birth of lounges like Alabaster lounge, Brew Bistro lounge, Secrets lounge among others. Something else is brewing, The Champagne Bar. Champagne is a luxury drink that’s great especially when it is sparkling in a tall glass. It is a drink reserved for the crème de la crème of society. Closer home a few champagne bars have sprung up in a bid to cater for the upper class in society. Men with briefcases come here after a long day of work. It is a place to meet with friends or chill out between destinations while on holiday. There are a few champagne bars that have become all the rage.

The Champagne Bar. Sankara. Nairobi.

It was launched on Friday, 3^rd August, 2012. It is located on the 7^th floor of this luxurious hotel. It is definitely a place to kick back, relax and enjoy the smooth champagne bubbles kiss your tongue. In this bar there are champagnes, champagne cocktails and a vast selection of the finest single Malt whiskies. In their portfolio is Moet and Chandon, Taittinger Brut Reserve, Hibiki (A Japanese Malt whisky) and others whose names I can’t pronounce. These are carefully selected by the experts so you can’t go wrong with this. The ambience in this place is to die for. For a moment you feel like you are in Vegas. The seats are made of palm wood that is hand carved. You can view the skyline especially at night. The view is to die for with all the lights. There is also a lounge where people can relax after long days at work. The bar opens from 6pm to 1am and the dress code is smart.For more info go here.
