Kabana's, Luton

Pub noted as being closed and boarded up, along with adjacent restaurant, on Sunday 2 August 2026.

From the outside this place looks like a traditional pub and even has an old sign outside suggesting it is called 'Nelson's Flagship'. However, it is in fact a sports bar with a West African/ Caribbean theme to it. The beers on offer were a fairly uninspiring array of standard lagers and the place looked a little run down, despite efforts to paper over the proverbial cracks. However, we were given a very friendly welcome and made to feel at home. We ventured to the restaurant side and were treated to some excellent West African cuisine, before popping back to the bar for a couple of games of pool. This all served us well in preparation for the football match we'd come to see at the nearby Kenilworth Road, and although I can imagine this place wouldn't be my cup of tea most of the time, it gave us a great pre-match curry and drink in a friendly environment.
