As a result, the county officials led by Chief Officer of Environment Geoffrey Mosiria took the initiative to halt the operations of the club.
Popular nightclub Quiver Steak House located in Milimani, Nairobi has moved to permanently abolish the playing of loud music on its premises following complaints over noise pollution that prompted Nairobi City County officials to take stern action.
Per the complaints, the residents lamented that they could not get peaceful nights of sleep on account of loud music from the joint which they argued violated their rights.
As a result, the county officials led by Chief Officer of Environment Geoffrey Mosiria took the initiative to halt the operations of the club.
In a statement seen by Viral Tea, Quiver Steak House took note of the current development based on the views of the neighbourhood and implemented a vital measure that could set a new precedence for all nightclubs going forward.

“In the spirit of unity, environment conservation & the numerous telephone conversations between our wonderful neighbours and our management, we wish to bring the below to the public attention as a groundbreaking decision: we will be the first club to embrace an innovative concept by not playing music!” the joint decried.
Quiver revealed that it was taking a unique approach to create a vibrant atmosphere where guests can fully enjoy their time without the distraction of loud music.
According to the popular entertainment joint, “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 centre stage,” added the statement.
Quiver Steak House assured its customers that its dedicated staff will be on hand to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and entertained, offering a diverse menu of delicious food and refreshing drinks to enhance the experience.
“We invite everyone to join us in this new adventure, where the focus is on the joy of togetherness and the simple pleasures of life. So come and discover a different way to enjoy a night out one where the rhythm of the night is set by the energy of our guests rather than loud music.
“We can’t wait to see you there and share in this exciting journey together!” the premises added, underscoring its togetherness of creating an ample & conducive environment to build a peaceful nation and noise-free.
This approach would see Quiver Milimani follow the example of local bars which don’t have loud music as the county government has been hot on the heels of entertainment joints and places of worship including churches, accused of causing disturbances within residential areas.
Before Mosiria’s action, it was alleged that the management of Quiver repeatedly ignored concerns from the residents who urged the club to lower their loud voices.
A notice was served to Quiver to soundproof the club but it was unheeded, which fuelled pressure from residents to have the steak house closed. During the closure, Mosiria noted that the county would not keep calm while several people were denied their right to sleep peacefully by a single business.
Reports claimed that the order to close the club was issued by President William Ruto before he left for Nyeri on Sunday morning, September 15.
The joint operates a few metres from the Department of Defence (DOD) headquarters, State House, and the County Commander of Nairobi Headquarters.
