Anyone who has been in this three establishment will tell you for free…the prices on that menu list isn’t for small fish, the crowd is not some ratchet group of people who suddenly stumbled upon the clubs, the audiences you may wonder, they smell of money.

But who exactly are the owners of the reigning joint?

Meet Soraiya(Kenyan) and Aleem Ladak(Canadian), the owners of Brew Bistro. Brew’s first opened its doors in 2009, on Ngong Rd, seven years later; they now have another branch opened on Woodvale Groove (Westlands). According to Daily Africa, Brew is “the quintessential upper-middle class haunts for the-freshly-brewed-beer thirsty and the hungry for uppity cuisine or where – as they at Brew Bistro say- “the primal instincts come out to play.”

Featured on True Love magazine, Soraiya- who handles the marketing of Brew, talks about how she gave up her UNEP job to join her husband in his brewery dream. The husband, Aleem actually did a postgraduate in Brewing and Distilling at the VLB Brewing and Malting Institute in Berlin, Germany, he is a master brewer.
