“Clubbing” a word coined from “club” to mean raving or rather going out in sports bars to unwind is the order of the day in Nairobi. Sometime back, people used to club only over the weekends after a having a busy and draining weekn in offices or  schools(perharps).Well this is not the case anymore! Any day is raev day- from Karaoke  to Ladies nights, Uptowns to Thirsty Thursdays..name it. There is a phrase doing rounds in the city that Thursday is the new Friday. Going by this trend, Monday will be the new Friday!

There are too many sports clubs to name. From Bettys to I club, both along Kimathi street, Samba to Rumours, Liddos to AppleBees..the latter two being for the explorative kind who would rather dance to tunes whilst watching nude girls walking around in nothing but heels! For those who love adventure, out of town clubbing is their kind of swag. Westlands area boasts of the most sports clubs. Galileo to Changes to Black Diamond not to mention Skylux. These are mostly clubs for the youngsters who are trying to cool their minds off being in school. Langata area popularly referred to as “LA” also has some worth the drive clubs such as Rafikiz and Psys. For the love of fun you can take a drive, or a jav to Sailors and Tamasha in Hurlingham, or better still explore the very raw Natives Club on Thika Super Highway.

One thing is for sure, we all want to be safe and wake up in one piece following a night out in one of these clubs. I have heard endless tales of people leaving their open drinks on a table to take a leak, and that’s just about everything they remember of a young night. Spiking of drinks is very rampant in Nairobi. Just the other day my pal got robbed off his wallet and phone in one of the town clubs. He lay unconscious on the table all night and was actually awakened by the club cleaners the following morning.

Ladies in Nairobi tend to wear trench coats and little pieces of cloth underneath. Coupled with 6 inch pairs of stilletto heels I most certainly do not advocate for this look. I mean you are meant to go enjoy the night on some dance floor, not take some fancy photos for a cover magazine! I think ladies should embrace comfortability. I dont mean to say that dressing up is wrong, but my question is, how do you even place your step in the dim-lit clubs? The small dresses are a turn off for me. They expose too much flesh unneccessarily especially during the “Badder than most” and “Bend Over” kind of tunes. If you will wear such, kindly dance while seated!

Lastly, if you are to go on a club hopping spree, it is advisable that you go to clubs located in more or less the same area. This will reduce the risks you are exposed to when walking in town during the witch hours.

Be safe people and as always, don’t drink and drive.
