Exclusive lounge brings sophistication to Bahrain Discuss this article

Tucked away in the far recesses of its impossibly refined parent hotel, this exclusive smoking lounge is the perfect place to unwind. The venue’s slightly crusty veneer may make it more akin to a venerable old stager than a hip and thrusting young thing, but the deep leather armchairs and perfectly mixed drinks imbue it with an air of sophistication that is something of a rarity on Bahrain’s brash bar scene.

It’s probably not the kind of place that is to everyone’s taste – the dark, oaky interior gives it the feel of a private gentleman’s club in a sprawling English stately home – but if you are looking for somewhere to muse contentedly on the issues of the day this rarefied drinking den is as reliably amenable as they come.
