Mercury Lounge

Nairobi


This sophisticated cocktail bar is smooth as silk, with vaguely retro curves in the decor and a fine list of cocktails to keep the well-to-do crowd happy. It kicks off the week in suitably sedate fashion with 'Monday Blues', then Tuesday is 'Wine & Jazz', Thursday is all about salsa and Friday is nostalgia all the way.
