Only place in the area open on Sundays. Open everyday until 2am. Prices not bad. Bar area in the back with pool tables. They sell African food in the other side of the back with a grill pumping goat meat everyday. Never hung out in the bar area but it seems chill sometimes and always bang the tunes. Weekends are crowded in the bar area.

I have never been in the bar area before. I only went in the liquor store part. It is so crowded in there but, you can always fine the stuff you need and they are open on Sunday

Although the place smells like goat all the time, I love this little hole in the wall! I like the prices. I do not eat ethnic food, so I can not give a review on their food. The drinks are cheap and good! I stop pass after work very often, and have been doing so for about six years now. This place is a guilty pleasure! lol

Five stars for the nyama choma and mutura! Kamau the head chef, always takes the best care of me and my clique. I frequent here Saturdays after work for some goat meat and spicy Kenyan sausages(mutura). You can always find me in the kitchen, or being put to work & wiping down tables like a hostess. A tip: don’t judge a dive by its exterior, let the food speak for itself

I found this place through my boyfriend. He is Kenyan so he is always going over there for the goat meat. We also go over there to watch the sports games as well because of the cheap drinks. I agree it definitely is for a certain crowd. It can get really loud and crowded in there.

There is a certain type of individual who enjoys the establishment affectionately known as CBs among regulars: 1)Your drunk food of choice is roast goat meat(Nyama Choma) This spot offers a small sampling of East African Cuisine. If you are one of the lucky bastards who can encourage the resident chef to remember, cook and deliver your order before he is thoroughly inebriated then you need to share your secret with the rest of us. 2) you like cheap booze. On my last visit I paid $ 10 for two cocktails and a glass of merlot. You just can’t beat those prices. That being said you get what you pay for. As previously stated CBs is an unapologetically take-no-prisoners dive bar. The interior is slightly dilapidated as is the clientele. The pool tables tell sordid tales of debaucherous nights and poor social decorum. However you don’t come here for a fancy cocktail glass. Which leads me to my third point. 3) You enjoy loud, blaring African pop music. During the warmer months CBs has a DJ playing some of the hottest music from East Africa with an occasional 80s hit thrown in here and there. Techinically there is no dance floor but this has never deterred the patrons from creating one and a very«vibrant» one at that. With the copious amounts of alcohol that are consumed you will see some mind-boggling moves that will make your eyes burn. Hilarity is the order of the day. In conclusion CBs is not everyone’s cup of tea. But for those brave souls who dare to venture out I can guarantee it will be a memorable experience.

It’s an experience — ask them about what they can make as sometimes they have samosas, greens, etc. But you go for the goat and the sticky polenta-like stuff you pick up your food with.

I agree with the other review for the most part. Don’t expect to be out of here in less than 2 hours. If you get meat, they cook it slow and to your specifications. The price is right and the food is very unique.

Think Kenya. Think dive bar. Think meat. Don’t think that you are on a plush safari. This is a classic East African bar(yes, with all of the blaring hip hop music and poor service you would expect), but the perks make up for all of the eccentricities. First, there’s cold Tusker. Second, and more importantly, there is a cook in back who will hook you up with nyama choma(grilled goat or lamb), kachumbari(onion & tomato salad), and ugali(boiled corn flour). They also have real chicken wings. One word of advice: brush up on your kiswahili before you head over.
