Blue Moon Lounge by Wolfgang Puck

Blue Moon Lounge by Wolfgang Puck is the 50th-floor cocktail lounge of the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, set on the Bahrain Bay waterfront in Manama, Bahrain. As a hotel rooftop venue it draws a mix of international business travellers, hotel guests, expatriates and well-heeled locals, mostly adults in their mid-twenties and above. The atmosphere is polished and relaxed rather than rowdy, with the skyline of Manama and the Arabian Gulf as the main backdrop. Smart-casual dress is the norm for a five-star Gulf hotel, and visitors usually avoid sportswear, flip-flops and very casual beachwear. As with licensed venues across Bahrain, entry is limited to adults of legal drinking age, and valid identification may be requested.

The drinks programme centres on creative cocktails, supported by wines, spirits and a selection of non-alcoholic mixed drinks. The venue is known for pairing its bar with food curated by chef Wolfgang Puck, including sushi and other bar-style plates, and for occasional guest cocktail takeovers. Cocktails at five-star Bahrain hotel bars typically cost around BHD 6-10, though the current menu should be checked before visiting. Music is ambient and incidental, supporting conversation rather than dancing.

Opening hours follow a weekly pattern published by the hotel: the lounge opens on Sunday from 12:30 to 01:00, on Tuesday and Saturday from 18:00 to 01:00, on Wednesday and Thursday from 18:00 to 02:00, and on Friday from 16:00 to 02:00. It is closed on Monday. Hours can change, so confirming with the hotel before visiting is sensible. No cover charge is reported. Reservations are generally advisable for sunset hours and for Thursday and Friday evenings, when window-side seating is in highest demand, and groups may be asked about minimum spend for reserved tables. The hotel can be reached on +973 1711 5000. The lounge is best treated as a destination for a sundowner or a late after-dinner drink with a view, rather than a late-night club.
