Moonshine Beach Bar
About Moonshine Beach Bar
If you're looking for the best coastal nightlife on Mombasa's North Coast, Moonshine Beach Bar is exactly where you want to be. Tucked inside the grounds of the Reef Hotel along Mount Kenya Road in Nyali, this open-air venue shifts smoothly from a breezy beachfront lounge by day to an energetic party spot by night. What really defines Moonshine is its completely open layout, no windows or doors, so the ocean breeze flows freely across the tables. At high tide, waves crash right up against the boundary walls, making it a great spot to sip a cocktail while watching ships cruise in and out of the harbor. During the day, it's ideal for a laid-back lunch, catching a football match, or watching kite-surfers out on the water. Once night falls, the mood shifts into one of Mombasa's top party spots, with tight, reliable security, including metal detectors at the door, keeping things safe for dancing into the early hours. Moonshine is well known for its weekly entertainment lineup. Wednesdays and Thursdays bring live music from local acts like the New Dawn Band and Octave Live Band starting at 6:00 PM, while Fridays turn into Afro-Amapiano nights with DJs like VJ Delph and DJ Niqboi keeping the basslines heavy. There's also karaoke nights and a lively crowd for major sports broadcasts. On the drinks side, Moonshine has one of the most comprehensive cocktail and premium liquor selections on the North Coast, and happy hour is a great time to grab deals on their signature tropical drinks. Food-wise, the menu sticks to affordable, satisfying pub bites, with the loaded fries and creamy spinach being regular favorites.
