Celebrate Internaitional Gin & Tonic Day

The simple combination of gin and tonic has undergone a global renaissance, and Nairobi has embraced this movement with open arms. From sophisticated rooftop lounges offering panoramic city views to botanical-themed havens dedicated entirely to the spirit, the city is a haven for G&T lovers. With International Gin & Tonic Day falling on October 19th, it’s the perfect excuse to dive into the world of juniper-forward, citrus, and spiced gins. To help you celebrate this special occasion, we’ve curated a list of Nairobi’s premier spots—places that go beyond the basic to offer expert mixology, extensive gin menus (featuring everything from Tanqueray and Hendrick’s to Monkey 47), and the perfect ambiance for a celebratory sundowner.
