24-hour eating at Chairman's Club

This resto-bar is located at Remera-Kisementi, behind the Kobil Petrol Station and directly opposite the Chez Lando Hotel bus stage. And for the 24-hour facility that it is, Remera is just the perfect location, on account of its central location and active night life. Opened in January 2013, the facility initially came draped in Mutzig beer’s deep red wall branding that has since been replaced by plain cream-ish-grey walls. It is just one big open space under a corrugated iron sheet shade that is flanked by private seating cubicles on both sides. To your right as you walk in is a small sofa area and the bar counter, (with big Skol and Primus and Coca Cola-branded refrigerators. Beyond this set up, one enters two private lounges with red sofas. In all, there is a lot of rouge going on in the place, right from the Mutzig wall branding, the cushioned dining chairs, to the sofas. Their slogan is; “visit again for business gain”, which is telling of the kind of facility it is –a meeting place almost in the same mould as Blues Café and Simba Café, all in the city center. Being 24-hour, Chairman’s Club is good for that person with frequent hangover issues, or even that person who works the night shift. They have a live band on some nights, but sadly, no wifi, perhaps a clever way to shield themselves from the famed “wi-fi” crowds that cling onto a Coke for an hour while surfing away? This is the kind of place you are sure to bump into someone you know on any particular visit, a good rendezvous for the soccer crowds, a nook that comes across as more functional than fancy. The best thing about it is the central location, and of course the prospect of getting a bite late at night and in the wee hours of the morning. Try their African food buffet at 1,500, one of the resto’s major attractions. The buffet runs from noon till 4:00pm. Otherwise, there is the choice of the a la carte menu, at Rwf 2,500. They have a grill section that offers whole barbecue chicken at Rwf 8,000, while the whole fish goes for Rwf 9,000. Fish brochette is at Rwf 2000, while the beef is at Rwf 1,000. Surprisingly, their goat brochettes are the cheapest, at Rwf 800. Perhaps the only glitch is the waiting time, in that who wants to wait all of forty minutes for mere goat brochette order to materialize?
