“Do we not read the Business Daily, us who live in Eastlands?” A reader emailed me, “Is this not elitism to focus on the same bars in the same areas? Why don’t you get out of your comfort zone like a real journalist?” I was stung. I wanted to write back and tell him, “but I’m not a real journalist, I’m a writer!” Instead, I made calls which landed me at Cruz 24 Lounge and bar at Greenspan Mall in Donholm, Nairobi.
First thing you notice; the waiters and waitresses all dress up as pilots with strips on their sleeves. Very sexy. The walls are bricks and if you look outside the large windows across the road, a cluster of flats lurch towards the sky in a wild concrete dance. If you don’t like rhumba music don’t go.
