Located on Banda Street off Kimathi Street, Club Tribeka Lounge was a hit with revelers who would spend hours imbibing their favorite drinks since its launch in November 2011.
However, the club's popularity has been dwindling in recent years, with many patrons opting to 'drink closer home' due to various factors such as alcoblow operations, high cost of alcohol, and the emergence of posh clubs in estates.
As a result, the club has been replaced by a men's clothing store and other shops, joining a long list of closed clubs in the Nairobi CBD.
According to reports, the majority of closed clubs have been replaced by restaurants or clothing stores, with Riviera and Club Fahrenheit being some of the notable victims.
