Txoko Sky Lounge

Txoko Sky Lounge is a rooftop lounge on the 36th floor of The Domain Bahrain Hotel and Spa, in the Diplomatic Area of Manama, Bahrain. The venue is noted for panoramic views over the city and the Gulf, DJ sets and a happy hour reported by travel guides. The crowd is typically a blend of hotel guests, business travellers, diplomats and office workers from the surrounding district, resident expats and visiting tourists, mostly adults in their twenties to forties. The atmosphere is lounge-style rather than club-like: DJ sets provide a steady, atmospheric soundtrack, and the emphasis is on drinks, conversation and the skyline. Smart-casual dress is the sensible choice at a hotel rooftop, and photo ID should be carried. Alcohol in Bahrain is sold only in licensed venues such as hotel bars, which is why the lounge sits within the hotel. The drinks programme centres on cocktails, and cocktails at five-star Bahrain hotel bars typically cost BHD 6-10 (about $16-27); this is an estimate and the menu should be checked. Happy-hour offers have been reported by guides, but their times and terms should be confirmed with the hotel before relying on them. Opening hours are not listed in the available record, so visitors should check with the hotel for weeknight and weekend differences. In Bahrain the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday, and Thursday evenings are also popular, so those nights are likely to be busiest and a reservation is advisable, especially for window-side seating at sunset. No cover charge has been reported, although the hotel can advise on any minimum spend for tables, bottle service or private groups. The Diplomatic Area location makes it convenient for visitors staying in the business district.
