It's the Champions League Final today and I promised I'd tell you which places you can go to watch it. Well for starters every bar that has a TV set and DSTV won't want to miss this except for those that don't show soccer as a policy. I can't think of any such off head but I'll give you some next time.

But whether you want to catch the game at the Mist at Serena or your kafunda bar you'll find it there.

I'll give you of a few places that are doing a special night for the final. Steak Out will have the game on large screen as you enjoy the Reggae with Selector Ras Brown and DJ Joseph.

Just kicking being a sports bar would be a good place to catch the final.
Zone7 is also doing a large, large screen there.
The biggest party I know is going to be at Sway Club. The party there starts at 7pm, and then an after party after the game till morning.

This Weekend

The weekend started on Thursday for me. I learnt earlier in the week that Fat Boyz has happy hour every Sunday to Thursday from 4pm to 7pm. Where you buy one and get another free for any Club product.
So on Thursday I was there at exactly 3:57 pm. With my friends of course. And Fat Boyz didn't disappoint so we stayed till 9pm after which we left for the Rock Nite at steak Out - Totally enjoyed ourselves.

On Friday I went to a place I'd not been to for over a year. Kyadondo Rugby Club. I'd stopped going there because of the crazy crowds it had. You could hadly move at that place but it looks like when we stopped going there every body else stopped. So yesterday we just decided to drop by and check it out. We actually ended up staying. The crowds changed and reduced, the music is good and the beer is very cold at only 2k. I left at 2am without my friends. They left at 4am.

I went to Ange Mystique after that. I wonder if people in this city use their beds on weekends. At night that is. Everywhere you go is full, I wonder where all these people come from. But well this is our city.

Now let me get ready for another crazy one.

Yesterday was crazy, seeing Chelsea's champions league dreams shattered. Ouch,It must have been painful. I watched the game from the bridge. It's some place in bugolobi, popularly known as Old Bamboo. The place was full of Chelsea fans and bitter Asernal guys. Some Asernal chaps were still grieving."I hope Chelsea wins and showers Man.u" was a common statement. By the time a man sides with one of his enemies,then you know things a tight. By added time, Chelsea fans were already buying beers like a problem. All the Chelsea fans in the bar were so sure thier club had booked its place in Rome. Madness broke out when Barcelona equalised. Guys were in tears.
I looked for the nearest exit and headed for Kati-Kati in Lugogo

There was drama at Kati-Kati,some dissapointed fans failed to pay their bill. The askaris caught them escaping at the gate. Imagine two guys with two chics. Luckily they were bailed out by Barcelona supporter. The guy didnot only pay their bill but bought them two rounds. I hahad!

Dusk till dawn

It’s the middle of the week but I’m still getting over the blues of last Friday. It started as a quiet night at Clement Hill Hotel. That place has a ballistic dungeon bar. Its one of those places you go to when you are tired of the usual Kampala crowd. The place is full of cooperate guys. Since am few steps away from the ladder, I insisted on mixing with the crowd. It was amazing the booze was being brought in crates; I managed to fluke free beer. Trust me; nothing tastes better than a free beer. The night was getting cold; we decided to party indoors all the way. On a Friday, indoors was definitely the disco. We decided to go to club silk. Honestly it's the guys who decided,I was going with flow.

By the time we got to silk, everyone around me was speaking in tongues. This time it wasn’t the Holy Spirit, alcohol was in the midst. Lounge and Oxygen were on fire. They were playing fine old school music. Its fun watching some of Kampala’s cream grooving their heads off. That’s the thing with Silk lounge and Oxygen you rub shoulders with the guys you read about in the papers. Next time I plan to go there with my CV, damn the CEOs were more than the drinks.
We danced until 5 am; time does really fly when you are having fun. Looking at the crowd, one would think the night had just started. As were leaving the club, someone suggested Phatboys. I know 5am! They say if you can’t beat them, just join them.
I swear Ugandans can party. phat boys was full. People were still drinking like crazy. We hang out at phatboys until 7am. I love my country.
