About Otters Bar kololo
Tucked away along King's African Rifles Drive, Otters Bar Kololo easily shifts gears depending on when you drop in. Sunday afternoons here lean blissfully quiet, perfect for nursing a caffe latte or a milk tea while sinking a few balls on the pool table. It is relaxed, leafy, and unpretentious.
As the week rolls on, though, the energy transforms completely. By the time Thursday quiz nights, live band performances, or weekend club sets kick in, the garden restaurant turns into a lively social hub. You will find a solid mix of people sharing pizzas and draught beers while the music gets louder and the crowd packs in.
Whether you are stopping by for a casual evening drink under the trees or staying late for the weekend deejays and live dancers, it remains a reliable anchor for a great night out in Kololo.

Had a great experience at Otters Bar. I visited on a Sunday afternoon to play pool, and it was quiet and peaceful—exactly what I was looking for. The staff were friendly, the ambience was nice, and both the caffe latte and milk tea were good. The service could be a little more proactive, but overall I have no complaints. I'd happily visit again.

A great value if you wanna enjoy a delicious pizza with a nice drink listening to excellent live bands. Choose your evening according with the mood you have and the atmosphere you are looking for. No disappointment at all.

Still a really great place for a hang. Has become more of a club type space (deejays, themed nights and louder music) than the chilled type bar it was before Covid but it’s still a great place. Pizza was good but they didn’t have the ingredients for their best pizza (JJ) and the nyama wasn’t as good as it used to be.

Music was good and the crowd awesome. Watching people dance and have a goodtime is exciting. Live performances add good vibes. They charge a fee when having events so go with extra cash for such days.

Cozy and casual place. Pretty good food and draught beer. I think this place is more beautiful at night than in the sun. Many videos... anyway i loved Dj's choice music that is high feeling.
