Swap work emails for signature cocktails, Pan-Asian bites and music in Shanghai Me’s glamorous DIFC setting.
- A live DJ takes over from 7pm during Thursday evenings.
- Shanghai Me’s Out of Office begins Thursday, 5 November, in DIFC.
- The AED 110 package includes unlimited selected house beverages for ladies.
- Upgrade to AED 155 for drinks and two Pan-Asian dishes.
By Thursday evening, the workweek can feel long enough to deserve a proper change of scene. In DIFC, that might mean closing the laptop, messaging the group chat and trading another rushed dinner for cocktails and conversation. Ladies night Dubai plans get a new option on 5 November, when Shanghai Me begins its weekly Out of Office evening.
Set inside interiors inspired by the Art Deco glamour of 1930s Shanghai, the restaurant brings a dressed-up setting to the after-work catch-up. Out of Office runs every Thursday from 6pm to 9pm at Gate Village Building 11, with a live DJ taking over from 7pm.
The idea suits the familiar DIFC routine of colleagues meeting after office hours, friends arriving straight from meetings and groups turning a quick drink into a longer evening. Shanghai Me gives those plans a Pan-Asian setting, with selected beverages and optional food packages that make it easy to choose the kind of night everyone wants. Keep the group chat active.
For those who prefer to start with a drink and see where the evening goes, the AED 110 package includes unlimited selected house beverages. The selection covers house spirits, red and white wine, Prosecco, Aperol Spritz and signature cocktails including Bon Vivant, Loyaist and Stalwart.
Guests who want something to share alongside their drinks can opt for the AED 155 package, which includes the same beverage selection plus a choice of two food items. Options include spicy edamame, prawn crackers, spicy chicken popcorn with dried chilli, sesame prawn on toast and vegetable spring rolls.
And if the conversation is still going strong when the three-hour session ends, an additional one-hour beverage extension is available for AED 35 per lady. It’s a useful option for groups who aren’t ready to call it a night.
A good evening out often comes down to the details: a playlist that lifts the mood, a cocktail worth trying and food that keeps arriving at the table. Shanghai Me’s live DJ, signature drinks and Pan-Asian bites bring those elements together in one setting, without requiring a full weekend plan.
Out of Office begins on Thursday, 5 November 2026, and continues weekly from 6pm to 9pm at Shanghai Me, Gate Village Building 11, DIFC. The DJ starts at 7pm. Choose the drinks-only or food-inclusive package, gather your friends and give Thursday a more interesting finish!
