There are so many different reasons to look forward to an evening drink. Very often, you’re itching to head out with your friends because there’s something big to celebrate!

If you’ve ever had to second-guess a night out on the town, we’ll make sure you never have to again. After all, why think twice, when you can drink twice?

We’re very proud to present our newest product offering in the UAE, to help make night out decisions a lot easier for you and for your pocket – Zomato Gold. It’s been just a week since we soft launched Zomato Gold in Dubai, and the initial response we have seen from our users has been staggering.

But first, what is Zomato Gold?

Quite simply, it is a membership program for a premium nightlife experience in the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi –

• It lets you enjoy up to two rounds of 1+1 on any beverage at many top restaurants, bars and lounges.
• You can enjoy Gold benefits any time and on any day of the week. Happy hours just got that much longer.
• Users can buy a 3-month, a 6-month, or a 12-month membership plan. The introductory prices right now start at as low as AED 99
• There are more than 200 premium Gold partners (restaurants, bars and lounges) to choose from, located in popular areas such as JLT, Barsha, DIFC, Downtown Dubai, Trade Centre, Deira, and pretty much all over Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
• A single membership plan for Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
• We have made sure that there’s a Gold partner within 3 kilometers of anywhere in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
• Your membership will let you visit any of the Gold partner restaurants that you like on any given day/time, and you can visit each partner more than once.

What we personally love about Gold is how much you end up saving. The 1+1 benefit can get you 4 drinks for the price of 2 at any of our partners on a single visit, and thus double the value. We also love the fact that Gold is applicable even during peak hours on weekends.

To check out Zomato Gold, download/open the Zomato app, change your location to Dubai (if you aren’t already there), and look out for the “Introducing Zomato Gold” banner on your home screen.

What makes Gold special?

Unlike any other similar product out there, we focused very heavily on making Gold the most extensive and convenient dining membership program out there.

• Zomato Gold has the widest possible range of partner restaurants, bars and lounges – 200+ so far, and we’re going to keep adding to them.
• We made sure that most of these places are the top-rated places on Zomato
• There’s no restriction on the drinks you can order with your membership. The entire drinks menu is yours to choose from.
• Gold is ultra convenient to use – there’s no need to punch in anything on your phone or scan QR codes. Just one tap on the partner restaurant’s page on the Zomato app, and you are all set.

If you live in Dubai, or travel there often, we hope this product appeals to you. We look forward to you becoming a member. Open your Zomato app to do just that.

When will Zomato Gold arrive in other cities?

Gold will arrive in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore somewhere around June. We will decide launch dates for other international cities depending on what we learn over the next few weeks/months. Our Melbourne, Jo’burg, and Istanbul teams are waiting eagerly to launch Zomato Gold in their cities 🙇🏼 .

PS

1. If you use Zomato Gold for alcoholic drinks, please drink responsibly, and don’t be a jerk.
2. Zomato Gold launched in Lisbon already with a membership program to get 1+1 on food, not on drinks. The blog post (in Portuguese) for our Lisbon launch was published two weeks ago here.
