Bund Lounge’s Gong Dinner Party recalls the vibrant nightlife of Shanghai’s golden age

This May, Bund Lounge unveiled its highly exclusive Gong Dinner Party, hidden away within Shanghai Me restaurant at DIFC. The sophisticated speakeasy experience welcomes guests every Monday evening, and offers a unique fantasy-like experience that seamlessly fuses exquisite PanAsian cuisine with captivating live entertainment.

Dinner commences at 9:30 pm with Shanghai Me’s sumptuous a la carte menu, featuring dishes inspired by Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Guests are served an array of signature cocktails, grapes, sake and tailor-made concoctions to compliment the dinner party vibe. After dinner, the night continues with bottle service.

The immersive live entertainment features dancers entertaining guests with their vivacious yet sophisticated performances. East meets West through diverse costumes and choreographies that fuse Far-eastern cultural heritage with modern elements.

The sound of the Gong signals the beginning of a vibrant party that pays tribute to Shanghai’s golden age, the 1930s. The sets of eclectic beats churned out by the lounge’s resident DJ entice an ambience of merriment until late into the night.

The intimate and lavish lounge oozes elegance. Sleek and moodily lit, the space is dressed in plush velvet, with intricate artworks and opulent furnishings. The decor ensures the perfect backdrop for a unique experience, where every dinner turns into an unforgettable entertainment experience.
