Top 6 Cocktail Bars in Kenya Kenya  has long been known for the wildlife that gathers around its water holes. But in recent years the East African nation has also gained a well-earned reputation for the quality of its watering holes -- places where people can sip cold ones, cocktails and imported wines. From suburban Nairobi and the slopes of Mount Kenya to the sands of Mombasa and Lamu Island, Kenya offers a wide variety of drinking establishments, some ensconced in hotels and restaurants and others thoroughly independent.

Fantastic wine menus and a good rotation of craft beers are pleasant, but nothing quite captures my attention like the dexterity and flair of a cocktail connoisseur showcasing their skills from behind the bar. As I sip on a Cranberry Collins, the flavor fusions, and gorgeous garnishes the mixologist conjures up leave me nothing short of entranced. Jerry Thomas, a bartender from New York, was credited with inventing mixology in the 1860s, after his extravagant serving style turned heads among visitors at bars he worked in across the U.S. He later penned the seminal book on cocktail-making,  Bar-Tender’s  Guide, and created his signature cocktail, the Blue Blazer.
