בר The Alchemist

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at The Alchemist yesterday. I was on my period and urgently needed to change my sanitary pad, however the women’s restroom was closed at the time. I asked a member of staff if I could briefly use any available restroom for this basic need, and I was directed to use a urinal area in the men’s restroom, which was entirely inappropriate and did not provide adequate privacy for such a situation. This was a deeply upsetting, humiliating, and distressing experience, as I was left without access to a clean and appropriate private facility. On a more positive note, a male volunteer did attempt to assist and showed genuine concern, which I sincerely appreciated during an otherwise very difficult moment. Guests should always be able to expect dignity and access to appropriate facilities, particularly in situations of basic personal need. I hope management will take this matter seriously and review their procedures to ensure it does not happen again.

Well organized and top notch ambiance

The Alchemist Bar is one of Nairobi’s most popular nightlife destinations and a must-visit if you’re looking for a lively evening out. The venue has an energetic atmosphere with great music, a vibrant crowd of both locals and international visitors, and plenty of space to dance. Alongside the excellent nightlife, you’ll find a good selection of food and drinks, making it easy to spend the entire evening here.

Tried to charge us 4500KES/£26/$35 for entry. The place was empty.
