Fodor's Expert Review Floating Bar

$ Lamu African

Floating about a mile off-shore, this traditional wooden dhow is laid back and rustic, with simple wooden furniture and woven floor mats, and it's the spot where you'll find locals and tourists downing cocktails and beers and dancing after hours. If you plan to go for lunch, the go-to meals here are fish/seafood and chips, but you can also find a few Kenyan staples, reflecting the owner's heritage. If you come in the evening, prepare to dance 'til late, and be sure to arrange for pick up or drop off with a speedboat taxi driver beforehand.
