TWIGA BREWERY

Beer bar
Open - from 11h00 to 22h00

This is Tanzania's first craft brewery, located in front of the Heritage Cultural Center in Arusha. Twiga is the Kiswahili word for giraffe, the muse of this light blond pilsner. The brand also offers an Ale and an IPA, so there's something for everyone! The design of the label is nice, and it's a good idea for a cool stopover in Arusha, especially as the brewery serves draught beers as well as cocktails for those who don't like beer. A 20-minute tour of the brewery is free of charge.

The story of the owner, a Maasai, has been around Arusha, and even Tanzania, for a long time now and continues to spread. The owner "Baba King", a penniless Maasai at the time, made a fortune selling tanzanite stones, several thousand dollars. He built this complex and a restaurant. He also owns his own radio station, Triple A FM. The club often organizes live concerts, very popular with Tanzanians, among the best in Arusha. Here the concept of a nightclub is extended to a concert hall.

VIA VIA CULTURAL CAFE

Bar and caf

It is a café that used to belong to the ViaVia café chain and kept the name, but has been sold and is still going strong locally. Great atmosphere every Thursday night, and late into the night, at the traditional concert evening which continues afterwards in the gardens by the fire with musicians. Nice setting, and a practical place to get information on the visits of the city, on the cultural activities to do, but be careful it's full of mosquitoes! Take precautions, including repellent and covering clothes.
