The Champagne Bar - Sankara

The Champagne Bar, which is located on the 7th floor of the Sankara Hotel, is a place I was eager to visit once I got back to Nairobi. With all the hype surrounding it, I had to see and experience it for myself.
The actual bar area is stylish with its brown and gold tones but at the same time has a cosy feel due to the size and lighting. Anyway, we had reserved one of the tables by the bar. They are quite spacious and I think they could maybe fit about 10 people comfortably.

We made our orders from the extensive drinks menu. One can get drinks by the bottle here and they offer more than just champagne.The service was impeccable. Very attentive waiters who paid attention to every detail including presentation. Glasses were continually refilled, (which might not really be a good thing because you are then unable to keep track of how many glasses you have had :-))
I did not get a chance to sample any of the bar bitings from the menu as the kitchen was already closed. (how late were we???) so maybe next time. But, Albert did manage to get us some pineapple cubes dipped in chilli. That was yummy...loved it.

My only criticism however, would be that there is no music inside and we could barely hear the music playing outside. I think some nice piped music would be a good addittion. That being said, it is a good place to start the evening.
