The Nairobi City County Council Alcoholic Drinks Control and Licencing Board has ordered the closure of 43 clubs, among them Loft and Quiver Lounges as well as Memphis Restaurant all located along Thika Road.
Director of Liquor Licensing Hesbon Agwena earmarked the long list of city clubs in a letter to county technical teams including security, health officials and the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) on Monday, October 3.
Hesbon revealed that the County Liquor Board had received complaints about excessive noise and vibration on licensed liquor premises from various resident associations and the general public, leading to inspection due to non-compliance.
