Steak Out
Steak out. Steak out permanently remains engraved in my memory. Elvis
introduced me to Steak out in June 2009. Super Tuesday was my most
favorite theme night. A bottle of bell went for only Ugx. 2000 and the
music was hot like a tight you know what! Back then, Ugx. 10,000 bought
five bottles of Uganda's premium lager-Bell! After my début at steak
out, I was inducted into the hall of fame three years later after I met
the dynamic boys and gyals at NFT. Those guys partied hard
like the crazy Kenyans in 1995. After the induction, we visited Steak
out every Tuesday without fail and I remember on Roy Kaka’s birthday
which was celebrated at Steak out, Marsha was the awesome debutante!
Every Super Tuesday was likened to one of those Caribbean carnivals.
Gyals and boys from all walks of life swarmed into Steak out and the
roadside car park stretched from the G4S offices to African Images on
Lumumba Avenue and Soliz House on Nkrumah road. Every nightly experience
at this place was priceless! Then I left NFT and I grew richer and I
heard that Steak out changed management. We still remained tightly
knitted with the boys and gyals at NFT but we never visited steak out
again. We went to other places, we spent lots of money at Amnesia on
Fridays and V-pub on Saturdays and occasionally at the Rugby grounds and
we heard Steak out had been reopened as the Zodiac Lounge. I visited
the Zodiac lounge and painful pangs of nostalgia ripped my heart out of
its rib cage. The extreme makeover that the new management brought to
the place was too bourgeois and in a way a turn off. I made my decision
that day, I will never go back to Steak out!
