Quiver Steak House in Kilimani has announced that it will be adopting a ‘no music’ policy in response to ongoing concerns about noise pollution in the area.
The decision comes after Nairobi City County officials shut down the popular club on Sunday, 15 September 2024, citing persistent noise complaints from neighbouring residents who reported sleepless nights due to loud music.
In a statement released by the management, Quiver acknowledged the situation, stating, “Following the current development based on the views of our neighbourhood and in the spirit of unity, environment conservation, and the numerous telephone conversations between our wonderful neighbours and our management, we wish to bring the below to public attention as a groundbreaking decision: we will be the first club to embrace an innovative concept by not playing music.”
This move is seen as a direct response to the growing pressure from both local authorities and residents who have expressed frustrations over the club’s noise levels. The County’s action to shut down the establishment underscores the seriousness of the issue, prompting Quiver’s management to take swift and significant steps.
The new approach aims to create a unique, quieter environment where guests can engage in meaningful conversations without the distraction of loud music.
According to Quiver, “We believe that people can still eat, drink, and have fun while engaging in meaningful conversations and connecting with one another. By eliminating loud music, we encourage a more social environment where laughter, chatter, and the clinking of glasses take center stage.”
Despite the drastic shift, the management assures patrons that the restaurant will continue to offer a diverse menu and exceptional service. They added that the club is committed to creating a peaceful environment in line with their mission to contribute to noise reduction in the area.
The establishment invites patrons to experience “a different way to enjoy a night out,” where the rhythm of the evening is set by the energy of guests rather than loud music.
