Set high above the Dubai skyline in ICD Brookfield Place, Il Gattopardo’s bar lounge oozes vintage charm with plush textures, warm lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows that catch the golden hour just right. But it’s not just the aesthetics pulling you in, it’s the invitation to pause, sip, and savor.

- Signature cocktails starting from just AED 50
- An ambiance that shifts from refined to electric as night falls

The drink menu is a tribute to Italy’s most beloved tipples, reimagined with care and class. From the Bellini’s gentle sparkle to the Negroni’s bold complexity, every pour reflects Il Gattopardo’s flair for balancing tradition with modern edge.
- The Bellini, made with Italian sparkling wine and peach, is an elegant, easy sipper
- The Negroni, featuring Tanqueray Export, Cocchi di Torino, and Campari, hits with depth and confidence
