In the heart of the Westlands nightlife district, the small Havana Bar packs them in tightly over two floors and is an enduring Nairobi favourite, drawing a broad cross-section of night owls, prostitutes among them. Latin tunes often morph into DJ-spun house, and you can drink Kenyan coffee, South African wines, middle-shelf international spirits or a rather fine mojito.
The bar food is excellent, and be sure to ask for the menu of Cuban cigars. Get here earlier in the night for a meal and down-tempo tunes if you're feeling mellow.
