Step through the unmarked doorway and into a world where sultry mystique meets opulent intimacy — welcome to Jade, Dubai’s most seductive speakeasy perched discreetly on the second floor of Maiden Shanghai at FIVE Palm Jumeirah. A cocktail bar steeped in 1920s nostalgia, Jade redefines after-dark elegance with its royal mid-century decor, flickering candlelight, and seductive soundtrack of Asian-inspired tech house. It is a space that whispers exclusivity, made for those who seek not just a drink, but an experience.
By day, Maiden Shanghai is known for its acclaimed Pan-Asian cuisine. But by night, those in-the-know ascend to Jade — an emerald-hued hideaway where expertly crafted cocktails and velvet banquettes invite guests to settle in and savour. This summer, Jade has become the lounge of choice for Dubai’s discerning crowd, offering not only a place to sip, but a space to be seen. From golden hour through to the early hours, a curated rotation of DJs delivers a seamless blend of ambient and high-energy vibes.
One of Jade’s most tantalising offerings is the “Dim Sum & Bubbles” experience — a set menu that brings together three courses of decadent dim sum with three signature cocktails. Hosted every Thursday night, it’s a soirée designed for those who appreciate bold flavours and bold fashion. The affair strikes the perfect balance between lounge dining and elevated nightlife, creating a weekly ritual that attracts a stylish, well-heeled crowd.
Yet Jade’s allure isn’t merely atmospheric. The speakeasy is also a statement in sustainability. As part of FIVE Palm Jumeirah’s broader commitment to eco-conscious luxury, Jade runs entirely on solar power and contributes to the property’s LEED Platinum rating. Smart lighting, water recycling, and thermal energy systems operate behind the scenes — proving that indulgence and responsibility can coexist, even in Dubai’s high-octane hospitality scene.
The Ocean View Residences just a stone’s throw away from Jade provide an added layer of allure for those seeking a longer escape. With rooftop pools, lush gardens, and private terraces, guests can seamlessly transition from day to night — beginning with spa sessions or sunset cocktails and ending with live DJ sets that pulse through the intimate lounge space.
Jade is also deeply intertwined with the artistic and sensory identity of Maiden Shanghai. The cocktail menu draws on the flavours of the Far East, with infusions of yuzu, ginger, and five-spice that surprise and delight. Each drink tells a story, whether it’s a smoky mezcal-based number or a delicate floral gin blend, meticulously garnished and served in bespoke glassware. These are not mere drinks — they are extensions of Jade’s philosophy of immersive escapism.
For those seeking the ultimate night out that is as much about ambience as it is about taste, Jade represents the pinnacle of discreet luxury. Whether it’s an intimate celebration, a sultry first date, or a stylish reunion with friends, Jade delivers an experience that lingers long after the last drop is sipped. It is not just a place to drink — it is a place to feel.
