Kakamega is one of the Kenyan towns that are seeing a growth spurt occasioned by devolution. Development in infrastructure and real estate has seen a gradual influx of investors.  New institutions such as colleges, universities and hospitals have also contributed to a growing population. This development is being witnessed in the entertainment industry as entrepreneurs move in to provide patrons with spots to relax and unwind after rigorous nation-building.

The following are some of the most popular joints Kakamega patrons throng to unwind.

 

1. Club Signature

Club Signature is arguably the most popular entertainment club in Kakamega going by the number of revellers it attracts.

Located on Canon Awuor street, just behind the main Kakamega-Mumias highway, Signature is popular among young adults so you’re most likely to find it lively at night.

Saturday and Sunday nights are most popular and you are likely to miss a seat if you arrive past 10pm.

The club has a DJ booth, good (decorative) lighting, several big screens for football lovers and the sound system is quite good.
