Iguana

Kampala


Heaving with wazungu (foreigners) and locals, divey Iguana is a contender for the most popular bar in town. Upstairs is a boozy affair, whether as a spot for after-work drinks or late evenings with DJs spinning anything from house to dance hall or old-school hip-hop. Downstairs has a pool table and live reggae bands.
