Bar: Bubble's or O'leary's Pub, Kololo, Kampala, Uganda

This place is definitely a hit among the many expats in Kampala. Being in Kololo area the drinks have a higher price in general but if you intend to order a lot of drinks it might be wise to order a bottle of alcohol directly. On a weekend the crowd can be fun but you can also find a lot of obnoxious whites from a certain southern country who now think they own the place, if not the whole of Kampala. Don't get me wrong, there is also a lot of others from the same place who are much more pleasant, down to earth and enjoying life.

The place has a big outside are and a much smaller inside area thus if you have a big crowd with you the garden ends up being the place to be. The DJ is though doing a good job of ensuring the music is heard everywhere so the place can be moving.
More often though it is a standing with the drink in the hand place.

Bubbles had its peak among the bars a few years back and has not recovered back to its initial glory again. It is however a place well worth a visit on the weekends.

  4. Pub Kampala, Thanks for the comment. I tried to get in to the Latino club once last time I was in town. Looked like a good party but found out I wasn't welcome. Private party that night it seemed. Will for sure have my buddies check it out and see how it goes once that is done review wise.
