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!
