Ambo Lagoon Club, Kiribati


Once a two story palatial colonial expatriates club with  tennis courts and a golf course, the Ambo  Lagoon Club is now a thatched roofed maniaba where locals drink.  Strangely, it still has reciprocal membership rights with some of the worlds best clubs.   I guess no one has checked it out recently.

The bar staff sleep under the counter. Day or night, you just bang on it and they wake up and serve you. 

Once it hosted wedding receptions, Christmas parties, Melbourne cup days. Now a handful of men drink VB in its shade.
