Jaro is the rooftop lounge at Zaria Court, the Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel that opened in Kigali's Sports City in mid-2025. It overlooks Amahoro Stadium and BK Arena, and while the cocktail list gets the headlines, Kigali's bar scene increasingly treats mocktails with the same care — fresh ingredients, proper glassware, no afterthought syrup. Good for a sunset that doesn't require ordering a drink you don't want.
Took our meetup crowd here after a stadium event. Nobody blinked at a table splitting between cocktails and mocktails — the view carries the night either way.
Didn't expect much from a hotel rooftop but the mocktail was genuinely well made, not just soda with a garnish. The Amahoro Stadium view at golden hour is worth the trip alone.
Women-grown Rwandan coffee, a working tasting room, and the country's coffee academy — Kigali's most-loved caffeine HQ.
KACYIRUWorking artist collective and gallery founded by six Rwandan painters — dance, yoga and a lively Thursday happy hour turn it into Kigali's best alternative to a bar.
