Enter a world of sophisticated revelry this New Year’s Eve at Gatsby Dubai, recently crowned “Best Dinner & Show” at the What’s On Awards 2025. Here, luxury knows no limits, time stands still, and midnight never ends. On Wednesday, December 31st, the city’s most glamorous retro-glam destination plays host to “Midnight Excess,” an all-night voyage inspired by the wild extravagance of Gatsby’s legendary soirées. With every hour unveiling a new destination, new traditions, and a brand-new countdown, this immersive dinner show will carry guests across time zones and through the first sunrise of 2026.
Set on the Rooftop West of Palm Jumeirah Mall, Gatsby Dubai has become synonymous with spectacle, theatre, and high-octane celebration. This New Year’s Eve, the venue transforms into a dreamscape inspired by the magic of travel, live performances, and surprises at every turn. The night begins at 8 PM with an extraordinary dinner show filled with opulence, music, and dance, leading into an after-party until 5AM. As midnight strikes in Dubai, the celebration takes flight, travelling the globe hour by hour, because in Gatsby’s world, midnight is just the beginning.
Each passing hour brings a new scene, a new rhythm, and a new reason to raise a glass. Expect a spectacular evening of indulgence and imagination, where every toast feels like the first and every moment is a reason to rise. Embrace the “Big Night, Big Looks” dress code, think sequins, silk, velvet, tuxedos, and unapologetic glamour, for a night that promises magic, madness, and bubbly-fuelled memories.
The New Year’s Eve menu is a culinary love letter to sophistication and adventure. The Classic Menu, starting from AED 2,200, features free flow of drinks until 12 AM along with elegant starters such as Mini Wagyu Tartare with Quail Yolk Sphere and Seared Scallops with Tamarind Glaze and Gold Leaf, while mains include Herb-Crusted Wagyu Tenderloin, Black Cod with Caviar Beurre Blanc, and a decadent Mushroom Wellington for vegetarian guests. Desserts are as indulgent as the evening itself, with highlights like Strawberry Champagne Opera Cake and a Dark Chocolate Sphere with Raspberry Lava Centre.
Guests opting for the Premium Menu, starting from AED 2,800, will enjoy free flow of drinks until 12 AM and additionally enjoy exclusive amuse-bouches, including Gold-Dusted Foie Gras & Apple Macaron, Caviar Éclair with Dill Pollen and 24K Gold, and the visually stunning Cristal Garden with watermelon sashimi and balsamic pearls, the perfect opening act to an evening of epicurean theatre.
The evening’s handcrafted cocktails pay tribute to the clandestine glamour of the Prohibition era. Each drink offers its own narrative, including the Repeal Day & Contraband, with dried banana, golden pulp, and cognac’s amber warmth, the Lucky Luciano, blending mint, cocoa, and bourbon, the Carrie Nation, which stirs revolution with vodka, raspberry, and almond, and the Bitter Syndicate that unites dark berries and gin’s botanical sharpness. For a final flourish, Speakeasy Please pairs coffee and hazelnut in velvet elegance.
For those looking to elevate the evening even further, Special Bottle Packages are available from AED 4,500, ensuring every moment is paired with the finest pours and impeccable service.
