A Six-in-One Experience
How often do you come across a “six-in-one” recreation area? Alloy Bar and Lounge, located on the 6th floor of Sarit Centre in Westlands, Nairobi, is exactly that. A premium space that brings together a restaurant, bar, gaming lounge, wine lounge, whiskey lounge and cigar lounge all in one stylish setting.
First Impressions
From the moment you step in, you are met with a brief but professional security check, then guided into a sleek and vibrant space. The main bar is the first thing you notice. It is stunning, lively and spacious, with a long lineup of drinks and well-designed seating, high bar stools, low cozy chairs and an outdoor section overlooking an indoor tennis court. Watching a match while sipping your cocktail is a unique experience, especially with cocktails averaging a friendly Kes. 1600 ($13).
Music and Themes
There’s always a live DJ and the music ranges from Afrobeats to chill house, depending on the crowd and day. They have different themes for different nights, including a ladies’ night on Wednesdays and a Nairobi sing-along on Sundays.
Gaming and VR Fun
Now, here is where things get even more interesting. Alloy offers immersive gaming. It is home to one of Nairobi’s only laser tag zones and a VR (Hologate) arena. The gaming section is a whole other layer of fun that most bars don’t offer. It gives the place a modern edge and keeps it fresh, especially for the Gen Z and millennial crowd looking for more than just drinks.
Dining Experience
Upstairs, an Italian restaurant sits above the bar area, serving beautifully plated meals in a calm, elevated atmosphere. Think pasta, pizza, classic starters and well-thought-out mains. While some reviews point out occasional delays, many love the space for romantic dinners and polished brunch dates.
The Lounges
Just past the dining areas are three more intimate spaces: the Wine Lounge, Whiskey Lounge and Cigar Lounge. These are the showstoppers. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls open up the view to the Westlands skyline, while full-length curtains, mood lighting and plush seating make each lounge feel exclusive and elegant. They are designed for slow conversations, special moments or winding down VIP style.
Security and Accessibility
Security around the area is solid. Sarit Centre is one of Nairobi’s most established malls and the upper-level location adds an extra layer of calm and privacy. There is ample parking and easy access for both walk-ins and planned nights out.
Operating Hours
The Alloy Bar & Lounge works with flexible hours depending on events, but generally opens:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
- Saturday: 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 p.m.
- Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.
This makes it an easy option whether you are after a weekday coffee meeting, a Saturday night out, or a relaxed Sunday plan.
Alloy is not just a place to drink or dine. It is a place to play, dance, eat and relax. Whether you are looking for a fun group night, a date spot, a gaming fix or a quiet wine lounge to melt into, Alloy delivers on all fronts. With a bit of everything and a lot of style, it is becoming one of Westland’s top destinations for locals and visitors alike.
