Gatz Re-imagined brings a fresh take on classic supper club culture, with live entertainment throughout the week in the heart of modern Colombo. Gatz brings together live entertainment, food, drinks and conversation in an atmosphere that evolves through the evening. At the center of the experience is a curated line-up of live music throughout the week, giving guests the opportunity to discover a different sound and energy each time they visit.
The weekly line-up sees Top Hats take the stage on Mondays and Tuesdays, bringing a versatile repertoire led by vocalist Daniella. On Wednesdays, Enroute draws on the music of Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro and the classics of yesteryear, with Gananath on saxophone adding his distinctive sound to the evening. From Thursday through Sunday, Terry & The Big Spenders bring their extensive selection of jazz and favourites from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with Viraj at the grand piano.
Alongside its regular schedule, Gatz also hosts special performances that introduce a wider range of sounds and styles to the experience. Recent appearances have included Atilla Iskif, a four-time champion mixologist and bartender who has performed at major international events, as well as Mintaka, fronted by drummer Chris Dhason, well-known within Colombo’s live music and events circuit.
Together, these performances reflect the range and calibre of entertainment guests can expect at Gatz, from jazz and timeless favourites to contemporary sounds and special guest appearances.
The live music forms part of the wider Gatz Re-imagined experience, bringing a contemporary perspective to the classic supper club. Guests can move naturally from relaxed conversations and drinks to food, live performances and a livelier late-night atmosphere, enjoying the evening at their own pace.
Food and mixology complement the entertainment. Refined Sri Lankan bar bites bring familiar local flavours into a contemporary setting, while the beverage programme moves between classic and contemporary serves and more creative concepts inspired by art, culture and local ingredients.
Behind the bar, Gatz’s mixology team brings together local experience and international exposure. Bar Team Leader and Mixologist Janaja Bandara and Bartender and Mixologist Prasanthan have both developed their craft through Sri Lankan cocktail competitions and international bar takeovers in India, bringing creativity and a sense of theatre to the experience.
Gatz at City of Dreams continues to bring together entertainment, cuisine, design and hospitality in a way that reflects the energy of contemporary Colombo and offers a distinctive way to experience the city after dark.
