Another Friday

First I'll start by apologising for not post anything here for about two weeks now. Now that that is done, I'll start by feeling you in.

Last week started with a huge party at Zone 7 that they called the June Fest. It really was a Fest. My God! Everyone was there, they even had a huge cake for what they called the June babies.
I was there personally so I witnessed all this. It really was a huge party. I left at about 2am with my boys and we decided to check out other places since Tuesday was a public holiday. We drove from Zone7 to the Rugby Club, to Kisementi, and to Centenary Park and found not a place with life worth our stay. So we decided to check out the discotheques at Industrial area. Ange was closed so we drove on, Silk had another party of there own. The parking lot would tell you so you didn't have to enter to know. There were so many cars packed that you'd just know it's parked in there.
So we decided to check out a place we'd never checked out; T1 Club. It was also packed but we went in anyway. We had a blast, I'll surely go check it out again.

Then came the weekend and the much anticipated Rugby match between Uganda and Tunisia. I won't go into that since we lost anyway. But the after party!!! God Kampala! I think everyone in town was at Kampala Rugby Club last Saturday. The places was so parked that different music was being played from two different places. I wonder if that was the reason for that. Anyways it was a blast that when they stopped playing music at 2am I just went straight to my bed coz I'd had enough fun for the night.

Did you noticed I called this post Another Friday? Well that is because Another Friday is actually the theme night tonight at T1. I'll pass by to see what happens there but am told they'll play Rumba, Lingala, Soul, Pop, New Jack Swing, Afro Caribbean and many more.. That's like everything you can play in Uganda. Oh they'll also have live performances from dance groups.

It's the Blazzin Reggae Ragga nite at Silk, Galz Nite Out at Ange Noir and many more.. So you have many choices to choose from..

See you Out...

Am now on my way to Centenary Park to find out what those bars are doing today. Visit www.whatshappeninginug.com for details.

The night before Martyrs day.

As usual it begun as a normal day. People in their offices, students attending lectures, and the streets busy with people. But by the end of the day the excitement had set in.

People had smiles on their faces knowing the next day was a public holiday. The question on everyone's mind remained; which places happen on Tuesday being an early day of the week? But thank God for the town we live in. There were a variety of places, even the ones that don't open on Tuesday were open knowing their citizens to be party animals. However, there were some places that were on most people's minds being known for their theme nights. Steak out known for its Super Tuesday seemed to be the place on everyone's mind. The crowds were just dispeakable, gettin to the counter would take one twenty minutes not forgetting Bell was being sold at 1800shs only.

I could not take it anymore just after an hour because of the increasing crowds so we left for Fat Boyz knowing how it can never go wrong. It was Reggae night, and for some reason I enjoyed this place. It was not so packed, the crowd was a classy one and one had enough space to shake and get a drink quickly.
As time passed the music changed and got better, it was definately fun but we decided to hop to another bar. We called up our friends who said they were at the Barbeque lounge so we set off for Centenary Park. I was excited because the last time I was there I really liked it. Starting from the setup to the kind of people there, the music, it was just the place to be. But ooops!! this was not the case when we got there. The place was so packed and the crowd had many idlers. I then thought to myself when all these people discovered the place. We just walked in and out. Then we decided to try out Kyoto and boy did we make the right choice. The place was ballistic! The crowd was respectable and it was not packed. We did not leave till 5am. The music was just crazy, we danced till we couldn't take it any more and that was how my night ended.
It sure was a long one, can't wait for the next public holiday soon to come.

Entebbe

This past weekend I went to Entebbe to watch the Great Lakes Rugby 7s hosted by Entebbe Mongers Rugby Football Club. It was fun; the Beer was well chilled, the Muchomo was well done and the chics were nice thanks to Bella Events.

After that it was time to visit the bars. So I set off with my drink buddies. All the bars were showing the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Everton which I really didn't care about being a hard core Man United fan. After 10 minutes of touring the entire town to choose a bar, we settled for 4 Turkeys were we sat outside as we waited for the soccer to end so that we could catch the second half of the super 14 final.

The soccer ended and we were given a chance to catch our rugby. Some everyone we'd left at the rugby grounds was now with us and the night was on. We watched our rugby just us the guys that had come from Kampala as all the locals either played pool or cursed us for watching some stupid game while they could have been watching something like "Second Chance". Anyways the game soon ended and we now seriously started sending a swallow. We soon got bored at this place and moved to a bar I'll never forget. The bar is called Cassava Republic. This is a very good bar. The crowds are much better than those at 4 Turkeys.

Cassava Republic has everything good in a bar; cold beer, good music, food if you get hungry, no rowdy crowds, and nice chics. If we did not have to drive back to Kampala that night, we would have stayed all night.

Next time I'm in Entebbe I'll be sure to go to Cassava republic before checking out the other places that I didn't get a chance to visit. Places like X5 and Night Riders.

27th May 2009

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.
