The Best Cocktail Spots In Eldoret

Cocktails. You know, those magnificent looking mixed drinks with umbrellas, fancy straws, fruits, herbs and all that.  Yes, those ones. The ones that make the ‘kuteseka ni kwa muda’ boy child break a sweat upon sight and the hard to get 21st century modern and sophisticated woman elated.

Cocktails are the truest measure of making it in life. According to influencers and Instagram models at least😂. These drinks give you an air of sophistication. Not to mention they are beautiful to look at, almost as lethal, and more importantly sweet. Chasing alcohol with facial expressions is not really the way to live. Remember, vices were meant to be enjoyed. Responsibly so, might I add. Until the liver cirrhosis comes at least😂.

Top 5 Cocktails Spots In Eldoret Town

Anyhu having established all that, it is important to note that while cocktails can blow your mind they have the same effect on your budget. That said if you are going to splurge on bottomless mimosas, cosmos or whatever your poison, you want to make sure you do not get a mediocre serve. And how exactly do you do that? Easy. Stick to these 5 cocktail bars Eldoret. They are the best places in E Town to unwind, get your hair loose, and have a good time while enjoying a couple of cocktails.

The Well Irish Pub and Restaurant

Location

There are two of these. One found on the First Floor of Saito Center and the other on the 2nd Floor of Rupa’s Mall.

Ambience

Both spots are really cool and unique.  They have a modern and minimalistic vibe going on. Varied seating arrangements from bar stools at the counter to couches and separated booths. The interior decor especially the lighting is something to behold. Music played gives you these chill and easy vibes. Perfect place to unwind after a long day at work or to go for a date. The one at Rupa is bigger, more sophisticated and has a balcony that serves as a smoking zone. Unfortunately, the one at Saito doesn’t have a smoking zone. Still, the look and feel of the place is just perfect.

Cocktails

The cocktail menu at The Well Irish Pub and Restaurant is quite extensive. It features a couple of Irish cocktails like the Irish Flag as well as internationally famous ones such as the cosmopolitan. The drinks have really interesting names, they look absolutely magnificent, are strong and start from as low as KES 400.  They also have offers on Wednesday whereby if you buy 2 cocktails you get a third one for free.

The place features stunning woodwork and amazing lighting. And by amazing lighting I mean amazing lighting.  It feels exotic. I’d die to have such a place to my name. It’s beyond stunning. The music is great too. I mean they have a full-on DJ and what not.

Boma Inn Eldoret

Location

Boma Inn, which is part of one of the top chain of luxury hotels in the country is located in Elgon View off Ramogi Drive.

Ambience

If we are being honest, I’ve never been😂. Do they even allow walk-ins? I feel like you can’t go there without a car😂. Obviously that’s not true but it is that fancy. From the pictures though, it’s interior decor is stunning. It has this contemporary feel with a slightly African touch. Its facilities are what we call world-class right from the bar to the restaurant, spa, gym, swimming pool and rooms. It’s perfect for people who value privacy and all the fine things money can buy.

 

Cocktails

Boma Inn offers quite a number of internationally popular cocktails that are prepared by the finest bartenders in the land. I mean what else would you expect from a world-class hotel and spa?

Relax Inn

Location

Also known as Simba Village, Relax Inn is found along Eldoret Kisumu Road opposite Starbucks Hotel.

Ambience

Alongside Signature, Cloud 9 and Timba, Relax Inn is one of the hottest places to party in Eldoret.  It’s porch but not too porch to make you conscious of your actions. It’s spacious and also has varied seating arrangements. You even have secluded booths with doors if you want a little privacy.

Cocktails

The list of cocktails served is quite interesting and unique. They are famous for their Screw Driver, Jamaican Sunrise and Malibu Sunset. The great thing about cocktail specials at Relax Inn is that they are prepared to taste and are so refreshing. The dazzling colors and beautiful tall glasses do not hurt either.
