The rain may have poured and the night air carried a chill, but at Baoli Restaurant in Kampala, the atmosphere burned bright with elegance, mystery, and celebration. On Sunday evening, Juan Nsabiye hosted an exclusive Masquerade Ball that transformed the upscale venue into a haven of sophistication, where the city’s elite arrived draped in black-tie gowns, sharp suits, and ornate masks that added a touch of intrigue to the night.
From the moment guests were ushered in by name and handed a refreshing Tanqueray Gin & Tonic whether Sevilla or London Dry the tone was set for an evening that blended luxury with vibrance. A stop at the glamorous masquerade photo booth allowed attendees to capture their finest looks against a backdrop of ambient lighting and Kampala’s glowing skyline. Nancy Nansikombi, Tanqueray Brand Manager, perfectly summed up the mood: “This evening embodies the spirit of Tanqueray sophisticated, vibrant, and unforgettable. It’s amazing to see how Juan has brought together such an incredible group of people to celebrate in style.”
That elegance spilled into every corner of the evening, from the curated décor to the lavish gourmet spread a global journey of flavors that included mutton curry, tempura chicken sushi, salmon avocado rolls, pork tacos, sliders, and skewers. Each bite paired beautifully with Tanqueray’s signature cocktails, keeping spirits high and palates delighted. As the evening unfolded, soft conversation mingled with upbeat rhythms from DJ Chef, before the tempo rose and the dance floor came alive. Playful Macarena moves and sultry salsa sessions broke out, fueled by laughter and cocktails. Later, Lil Stunner took over the decks with an irresistible mix of Afrobeats and Amapiano, keeping the crowd dancing deep into the night.
By the time the masks began to come off, one thing was clear: Juan’s Masquerade Ball was more than just an event it was an experience. It proved that even on a cold, rainy night, the warmth of great company, exquisite cocktails, and carefully curated vibes could create magic to be remembered long after the music fades. With Uganda Breweries continuing to craft premium lifestyle experiences, Kampala’s nightlife is stepping into a new era of sophistication. For those seeking to elevate their own celebrations, this ball was proof: the perfect soirée is all about mystery, style, and a toast to unforgettable moments.
