3. Cassio
Once the dinner service ends, Cassio turns up the heat and transforms into a party hotspot. Nestled within the LKF Tower, this upbeat club plays a diverse mix of genres from R&B and disco to house, reggae and salsa. Special guests like Djuma Soundsystem and Brooklyn-based Bedouin often make appearances. But it’s not just the music that sets Cassio apart — their creative cocktails are crafted with passion and artistry.

The lounge has an intimate feel, and its gentleman’s-club-turned-cigar-lounge vibe makes it the ultimate choice for the city’s most glamorous crowds.
