It’s officially rooftop season in Dubai— Also known as winter. There’s no better way to spend the breezier, short-lived months than with a refreshing drink in hand with the perennially impressive city skyline as the backdrop. 40 Kong, which recently underwent renovation, is one of the chicest rooftop lounges in the city, here’s why:
#1 Those views…
Situated on the 40th floor of the H Hotel, the open-air venue provides panoramic views of the city. There are no walls, just glass screens surrounding you, so the views are some of the most impressive you can get in Dubai.
#2 The menu is on-point
40 Kong serves dinner from 8pm to 1am every day, and features a menu of signature dishes including avocado shrimp cocktail, goat’s cheese and beetroot salad, chateaubriand with beans, shallots and chimichurri, and miso-marinated black cod.
#3 It’s a hot spot
Since re-opening its doors in October, the urban hotspot is often frequented by Dubai’s It crowd (including the likes of Zeynab El-helw) serving as the perfect venue for chic birthdays, anniversaries, or events.
#4 There’s never a dull moment
Those who seek a little fun at the end of the workday can head to 40 Kong for IVY Tuesday, the all-new dinner and club concept every Tuesday, to enjoy great food, entertainment, and live music from a lineup of Dubai’s premiere DJ’s.
#5 You can go straight from boardroom to balcony views
The dress code is smart casual, meaning that you can head straight from the office to the lounge while saving the trouble of stopping for a costume change. Just re-apply a slick of red lipstick and you’re good to go.
