Meru town, covered elsewhere on this blog in connection with the broader Meru community and its Njuri Ncheke traditional governance institution, maintains a genuinely active evening bar and entertainment scene reflecting its status as a significant regional commercial centre for the area's substantial tea, coffee and miraa farming economy.
As one of central Kenya's larger towns, Meru's nightlife scene offers real variety, from established local bars serving the town's trading population to newer venues reflecting the area's growing commercial prosperity, partly tied to the significant miraa (khat) export economy centred in the nearby Nyambene Hills.
