The Roof @ First Avenue, Bandar Utama

Comments (2) Party, Sponsored Post

It’s been a long time coming that PJ should finally have its own glamourous party joint!
The Roof is SO SICK, i keep on thinking WHAT PARTY i wanna throw there, it’s just begging for one!

I went for the soft launch / media launch on Saturday (26th Oct) and The Roof is SO NEW, only 2 out of its 5 rooms were ready at the time. (All areas are fully operational now.)
The most awesome one for me right now its Stratosphere – Asia’s first and only luxury bar and a grassy helipad lounge with a 360° panoramic view.

As if playing (i.e. drinking, dancing, chatting) in Stratosphere isn’t enough, there are gonna be 4 other spaces under one roof (hur hur) that will make it the one and only premium integrated sky lounge in the city to house 5 distinct dining and entertainment outlets.

The Roof is created by The Group (F&B) Sdn. Bhd. – who also brought you familiar establishments like The Hill, and The Pool 😉 Adding to The Group directors’ accomplishments are Attica and Lenoir (Singapore), Attica Too (Shanghai), Pochi (USA), and a hotel/villa project in Bali.

I’m sure you recognise some of the names above, so it’ll be interesting to see how The Roof sets a new benchmark in the entertainment and F&B industry. With The Roof, The Group have exemplified immense volume of creativity and sophistication in design and decor to reinvent one’s dining and entertainment experience.

A group shot of the 5 personalities The Roof got to introduce the 5 different spaces to us, L-R:
English professional ice hockey player Carl Graham; Miss Universe Malaysia 2010 Nadine Ann Thomas; Miss Universe Malaysia 2011 Deborah Henry; model and host Cay Kuijpers; and model/actor/martial artist Peter Davis.

On the bottom row are The Group of directors themselves – Dik, Roen, Dax, and Manfred.

To get to Stratosphere, you can take one of two lifts, or the stairs.

Because PJ has few tall buildings, you feel so high up on the helipad!

Stratosphere is definitely The Roof’s star attraction… it is Asia’s first and only luxury open-air rooftop bar nestled on top of an infinity grassed helipad with a panoramic bird’s-eye view of the city and greater Klang Valley – a scenery which is breathtaking and spectacular.

OH! I ENJOYED THE FIREWORKS SO MUCH! It’s so different being up in the air AND watching fireworks burst right above you with no obstruction whatsoever! I took an Instavid of the fireworks! You can watch it *here*

a-The-Roof-BU-16

I loveee how there’s so much space and grass up there! It’s not a great place to wear heels and i’m so glad i thought of wearing flats that night! Regardless, Steph and i kicked off our shoes so we could feel the grass between our toes and ran and danced like mad crazy people XD

So there you have it! The Roof takes up over 50,000 square feet of space for dining, entertainment and event space.

The five outlets under The Roof will cater to lots of different types of people and tastes, each promising to be unique and classy:
