As I pushed open the door to Bar Next Door on Kiambu Road last Sunday, the unmistakable aroma of smoking meat embraced me like an old friend. The air buzzed with laughter and conversation as dozens of Nairobians shed their weekday worries at the latest Ribs and Giggles event.

The event was a full-blown meat extravaganza, hosted by the legendary Syoks, barbecue master and founder of Ribs and Giggles. As host, Syoks and his team truly outdid themselves, serving a rich feast of smoky, juicy meats fresh off the grill that had guests coming back for more. Each bite of those fall-off-the-bone tender ribs and perfectly grilled beef and chicken cuts released a burst of flavour that lingered deliciously. The bold, expertly crafted barbecue demonstrated why Syoks and his crew rank among the best in the game, transforming Bar Next Door into a paradise for meat lovers and foodies alike.

Gordon’s took centre stage as the official spirit sponsor. Bartenders in crisp shirts crafted a rainbow of refreshing Gordon’s cocktails that complemented the rich, hearty barbecue perfectly. From classic Gordon’s and tonic combinations to creative twists featuring fresh fruit and herbs, each glass delivered that distinctive refreshing zing that matched the day’s vibrant energy. Groups of friends clinked glasses in the golden afternoon light, the distinct botanical notes of Gordon’s providing the perfect counterpoint to the smoky flavours of Syoks’ barbecue masterpieces.

The soundtrack to this sensory experience came courtesy of an impressive DJ lineup that kept the energy flowing seamlessly throughout the day and into the evening. DJ Grauchi, DJ GMoney, DJ Marvo, and DJ Malaika had all come with their A game. Their expertly curated mixes, spanning feel-good classics to contemporary hits, had the diverse crowd abandoning their seats and surrendering to the rhythm. Even those who arrived intending just to eat found themselves drawn to the impromptu dance floor, caught up in the infectious good energy.

What stood out most about the event was the unique ambience that Bar Next Door provided, somehow managing to feel simultaneously cosy and electrifying. The crowd, a beautiful cross-section of Nairobi’s vibrant community, clearly knew how to appreciate good food, good music, and good spirits. Strangers became fast friends over shared plates and Gordon’s cocktails, exchanging contacts and stories as the evening progressed.

By any measure, this latest Ribs and Giggles gathering delivered exactly what its name promises,  food that makes you close your eyes in appreciation, and an atmosphere filled with genuine connection and joy. From the first whiff of barbecue to the last beats from the DJs, it was an experience that reminded everyone present why these gatherings have become a cornerstone of Nairobi’s social calendar.
