Charlie Brown's

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.
