Exchange Bar

“This historic bar is filled with cute memorabilia from the first stock exchange in Nairobi. Enjoy a drink while taking a look at some of the original pieces from the bar and listening to live piano. The duck samosas were my favorite. Great service too!”

cocktails are Aceeeeeee! Didn't expect much while the menu is limited, however very reasonably priced! We ordered many out of the menu, and each of them tasted amazing! My fav is the first gin and tonic, very strong grapefruit flavor sour and sweet, as well as the mojito, super strong taste of mint (a bit on the sweet side though). They also serve you a good casava + Yam chips, very cripsy and nice! The exchange bar has a long history as well, the first exchange market in Nairobi back in the days and when the Queen of England came to visit, she's staying here as well.... very old fashioned bar, very classic carpet and chairs. Service is a bit slow but bearable since I'm staying for a long time.....

A relaxing atmosphere in the heart of the city. Part of the Sarova Stanley Hotel, the Exchange Bar offers a tranquil and swanky feel with the occasional live band if not the regular cool background music. The decor remains true to its history: the site of Nairobi's first Stock Exchange, resplendent with the traders bell that characterizes the beginning of the shares trade. It retains a traditional English feel.
