This place was formerly the Tortuga Rum Bar (not sure what happened to them) and now it’s a Korean restaurant and bar. Located on riverside lane, Chimek House looks pretty chill and nice for a Saturday afternoon. They didn’t change up the decor as much and no one uses the pool still (including us). The menu is mostly fast food, including their famous Korean fried chicken. I tried to get an iced coffee but my order was constantly forgotten until I gave up on it and that’s when they remembered and brought it - it wasn’t good coffee.

It’s quite a hidden gem, literally lol, tucked away on Lenana Rd, follow the Google maps diligently or you’ll miss the turning like I did. I had a dinner plan with a friend and we decided to try this place thanks to all the good things I’ve heard from many people. Got here around 7pm and was surprised to find it very empty on a Saturday evening. I figured maybe people would come there later…nope, nobody came.

Geco Cafe has grown so much from the little cafe it used to be. I remember I’d always go there and get something to eat as I wait for my car to get washed at the Geco car wash. Now it’s a full blown gastropub and the home of live music in Nairobi. I’ve been to Geco multiple times from the little cafe days to present day where all the cool kids hang out now.
