The 'Joys' Of Drinking Chibuku

Except for the fact that patrons sit inside a grass-thatched shed, there is every sign of neglect in comparison to the spotlessly clean bar which is housed next to the grocery shop. Equally, there is a grass-thatched shed adjacent to the lager bar where patrons who want fresh air can sit while they quaff the frothy stuff. It is the case in all places of drinking; Chibuku depots are hidden away in the recesses of compounds.

In the Shebeens, patrons of Chibuku dens sit outside and sometimes have to endure the harsh weather if they do not huddle under the eaves of grass-thatched huts.
