A night of soulful jazz, signature tapas, and drinks awaits at Abu Dhabi’s most iconic bar
It’s time to swing into sophistication and celebrate International Jazz Day in timeless St. Regis Abu Dhabi style on Tuesday, 29 April.
An evening of smooth jazz in an intimate ambiance has been unveiled at The St. Regis Bar, where The St. Regis Abu Dhabi celebrates International Jazz Day in full swing.
On Tuesday 29 April from 8 pm to 11 pm, the soulful three-piece jazz ensemble, VNTG, will take centre stage, delivering a dynamic live performance in the heart of the city’s most distinguished bar.
A specially curated à la carte menu of signature mixed drinks and bites will accompany the evening. Launching on International Jazz Day, the series will return monthly to celebrate the enduring spirit of jazz at The St. Regis Bar.
With its rich wood paneling and plush leather seating, The St. Regis Bar promises to be an unforgettable evening, whether toasting to a special someone or enjoying a sophisticated night out in appreciation of early 20th-century music heritage.
Known for their distinctive sound that blends jazz soul with pop flair, VNTG is led by three-time SAMA Award-nominated arranger and composer Rudo Pieterse on upright bass and vocals, joined by world-class collaborators Joel Ison and Janelle Bernado.
Having shared stages with icons including Alicia Keys and Gregory Porter and most recently performing as the opening act for Beyoncé, the ensemble brings a sophisticated energy to every performance.
Their reinvented interpretations of well-loved classics and modern favorites span five decades, offering a fresh take on well-loved hits that feel both familiar and new.
The evening’s menu draws from the spirit of the Prohibition era, featuring tapas such as Gambas al Pil Pil, a Cajun-style sautéed shrimp with coriander beurre blanc, and Mushroom Tosta, toasted sourdough topped with Urgelia cheese, almond pesto, and pickled Fresno chiles.
With an ambiance that echoes the golden age of jazz, The St. Regis Bar is the perfect space for swing seekers looking for a night of smooth melodies, artisanal drinks, and timeless memories.
À la carte. 29 April, 8pm to 11pm, International Jazz Day, The St. Regis Bar, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi. For bookings, call 02 694 4553
