For those who don’t want to stand or dance their night away to glory there are 2 VIP lounges that require you to shake off a hefty amount. Premium comfort doesn’t come cheap. The bar offers a variety of choices.

We advise you seek out their bubblies of Chandon and Moscato and their signature cocktails – Blanc Fleur and Irish Tiramisu.
