Afew days ago, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about CEOs and where they probably go to burn their money. The funny thing about it is that I always envisioned CEOs burning their hard earned money on remote islands and other same such exotic holiday destinations.

My friend and I both had the same idea of where CEOs of Kenya's fortune 500 companies go to seek some RnR (rest and relaxation). However, when I talked to one CEO, his response completely blew my mind. Far from them going to spend holidays at expensive destinations, most enjoy downtime at venues the hoipolloi can gain access to.

Then again that should come with a rider so allow me to reiterate, most enjoy downtime at venues the hoipolloi can gain access to. Most but not all. So if you ever were wondering where you can find these guys, allow Uncle Chim Tuna to enlighten you alittle:

#1. 1824

Nestled right in the heart of Lang'ata's party scene, this club is infact a lounge that boasts a ciggar bar and extensive whisky collection.

1824 never fails to attract the most beautiful women and the most powerful men in their respective fields. Celebrities such as Joe W. Muchiri and Gidi Gidi frequent the place aswell as some of the most important technocrats in the advertising and media world.

#2. Dusit D2

Dusit is nestled in the very heart of the PR world at 18 Riverside Drive and trust that it attracts the likes of Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore and other industry heavyweights.

#3. Capital Club

This club attracts everyone from the upper technocrat echelon and board members of the biggest corporates in Kenya. If you ever want to meet people who have the means and the power to make your idea move from the conception stage to an actual idea you need to make your way here and push that elevator pitch.

#4. Mercury ABC Place

This is where everyone in the media, PR and marketing goes to unwind. From the biggest managers in digital marketing to CEOs of PR firms. This is the place to be on a Friday night.

#5. Safari Club

This is where the old money meets. The blue blood CEOs and General Managers that are septegenerians.

#6. Sankara Champagne Bar

This is the place of choice for the upstart CEOs. You know the ones that have successful startups that are turning into properly grounded businesses? Aye! The Mbugua Njihia types -but I was last there back in 2013/2014 so...

#7. Tribe

The Tribe is where the expatriate elites go to unwind. And it kind of makes sense when you think about it because of it's proximity to Gigiri.
