The Location Rooftop

Perched on the 13th floor of Alta Towers, opposite Yaya Centre in Kilimani, The Location Rooftop is Nairobi’s contemporary rooftop destination offering panoramic city views, an elevated ambience, and a balance of sophistication and nightlife energy. By day it opens early (from around 8 am) — serving breakfast, coffee, and lighter menus — easing into the evening with more crafted dining and bar offerings. As night falls, the rooftop transforms: the lighting shifts, views of Nairobi’s skyline glow, and DJs or live sounds often punctuate the mood. The menu is designed to be both global and locally inspired: expect share plates, mains, and a drinks program centered on signature cocktails, wines, spirits, and curated pairings. The food portion is more modest than the drink selection, reinforcing that this is a bar-first rooftop destination, but with credible culinary support. Ambience-wise, the bar is enclosed by glass walls in parts (allowing for view control), with terraces or outdoor overlooking sections for fresh-air moments. Lighting is ambient and modern; décor leans toward minimalist chic with some greenery and accents to complement the Nairobi skyline. Whether you're after after-work drinks, rooftop dinners, romantic escapes, or nightlife with a view, The Location Rooftop offers a versatile venue. Its vantage point over Kilimani makes it a favorite for those wanting to drink in city light from above.
