Gipsy’s Bar

Nairobi


This is one of the more popular bars in Westlands, pulling in a large, mixed crowd of Kenyans, expats and prostitutes, although the buzz has shifted elsewhere in recent years. Snacks are available and there’s decent Western and African music, with parties frequently spilling out onto the pavement.
