THE LOWDOWN
The city’s nightlife scene is forever abuzz with new and exciting watering holes, but it is DRAGONFLY’s cutting-edge lounge and club that has continued to charm the in-crowds since its phenomenal facelift in 2008. Showcasing a stylishly seductive interior, the open lounge area stimulates the social ethos of the venue, providing the perfect space for meeting and mingling with the capital’s finest. A sizzling selection of Asian and Spanish tapas plates offer a taste of exquisite pre-party sustenance, to sample and share amongst fellow epicures. To accompany this, try the decadent Vanilla Crème Brulée cocktail, satisfying sweeter palates with a fusion of Vanilla Vodka, Hazelnut liqueur and Cointreau, topped with rich cream and vanilla syrup, and elegantly dressed with cashew nuts & a vanilla stick. Shaken or stirred, naughty or nice, the sweeping bar serves up a fantastic selection of innovative cocktails, premium spirits and world-class liqueurs.

As the convivial evening ambience evolves into a thriving late night party, international and resident DJs spin an eclectic selection of disco, funky house, and crowd-pleasing 80’s and 90’s soundtracks. Keep your eye on DRAGONFLY’s calender, as international superstars often take to the decks, including David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Awell and Angello & Ingrosso – to name just a few.
