Why Nairobi Investor Spent Sh10 Million to Build Pub With Volcanic Rocks [PHOTOS

Along the Eastern bypass there is a towering gigantic structure that has set tongues wagging.

It looks peculiar and ancient but also mesmerizing, leaving those who have not stepped in there wondering what it is.

The one-storey edifice is a pub inside the AfroSayari park, a getaway sitting on a seven-acre piece of land.

This pub, which sits on the northern side of the resort, was built to resemble Mt Kenya, including the caves resulting from volcanic activity on the Kenya’s tallest mountain.

The pub which has an underground store was built at a cost of slightly over Sh10 million and took two years to complete.

Alice Mubea, the resort Managing Director told Opera News they were inspired by beauty the second tallest mountain in Africa commands.

“What we have there is a replica of Mt Kenya. It cost a lot because we built it using real volcanic rock sourced from Mt Longonot. We built it that way to appreciate our beautiful mountain,” she said.

Inside the pub with a capacity of more than 200 revelers are caves like those on Mt Kenya.

“We want our customers to feel like they are relaxing inside the caves on Mt Kenya because not all of us will have opportunity to climb the mountain. Our resort is themed on African culture. We appreciate our traditions and wealth,” she said.

The upper deck has capacity of 175 customers and on top is a fireworks place.

The pub’s counter shelves are designed like a tree with strong branches and arts are made from banana fibres.

It has fully-fledged kitchen, and washrooms to take care of reveler’s needs in-house.
