Bubbles also had another name I can’t quite recall…international something, right? Was it also related to Mamba? I’ve lost a lot of brain cells in my short 40 years!!
In the same bubbles area, there was another place called Tuna Tree if I recall. There was also a casino there with slot machines. Bubbles in its later years had a name change and they changed to playing mostly lingala stuff. Cant recall the name though… maybe its the International something you mention
Another place I recall is Dreams 90 on Mombasa road. Recently passed by there on a slow sunday after almost 2 decades… was amused to find its still a pub.
Also, there was Jeans pub in west. I think its still there. There was a time they bagun selling Pizza (I remeber my favorite was Pizza Cannon). I used to eat them when I was high. Tried one when sober (not a very good experience) and I can tell they those Pizzas are best taken when high.
Then on the way home you pass Topaz ama Munyiris for some food
Haha… yeah. I remember we used to say that after eating their food sometimes you feel like youve caught malaria or something.
But it was a place of last resort.
Then there used to be a place just at the entrance of F2 where you are could buy a large mandazi and have egg and meat put in it and eat. Lakini those days we were young and adventurous! You wouldnt catch me dead eating at such a place these days. I mean who knows what kind of meat you were eating…
Hiyo jam session ya f2 wueh!
