The return of the Ember Lounge boasts a striking 50-foot District Dome where guests will enjoy a festive evening under the stars, complete with a cozy dining atmosphere, whimsical craft cocktails, a chef-driven menu, and a state-of-the-art projection show.

Following the success of last year’s launch, Ember Lounge returns with exciting new offerings, including updated menus, a revamped projection show, and most notably, the highly anticipated debut of Dome After Dark.

Dome After Dark, available on Friday and Saturday nights only, includes an innovative bar concept where patrons enjoy signature cocktails in addition to a full bar service. Talented musicians, Ellery, co-founder of a DJ collective, and Joseph Torres, founder of Feel Good Jawns, set the mood for an unforgettable evening. Surprise guests will perform during opening weekend and on select holidays throughout the season.

Last year’s Ember Lounge sold out for the entire season, and due to demand, the Lounge is open for an extended runtime. It will open earlier in November and continuing through mid-January. In addition, a late-night bar experience and resident DJs providing entertainment on weekends.

Officially opening on Friday, Nov. 8, and running through Sunday, Jan. 12, Ember Lounge invites guests to step into a winter wonderland filled with evergreen foliage and festive decor, where they can enjoy a memorable dining experience beneath the District Dome’s signature state-of-the-art projection show. Upon arrival, groups will be seated in cozy European-style nooks, where they can indulge in a chef-driven menu of savory shareable dishes and whimsical-themed cocktails, thoughtfully crafted by Copper Blues Live.

Signature dishes include the Fall Harvest Bread Boule, Golden Season Bruschetta Board, Open Fire Meatball Skillet, Cauliflower Edamame Roast, Flame-Seared Wild Shrimp, Mountain Steak Feast, and Smoked Campfire S’mores—each curated to capture the enchanting spirit of Ember Lounge.

Guests can also enjoy a selection of signature cocktails, such as The Ice Hotel, which blends wild berry vodka, lingonberry, vanilla, and cardamom, served with shaved ice and snowflakes. The Douglas Fir combines pinecone gin, Earl Grey, cucumber, lemon, and rosemary, served in a watering can vessel.

The Northern Light mixes Starburst-infused tequila, pear, ginger, lime, and is garnished with galaxy glitter. The extensive bar menu also features house shots, a candy cane eggnog, and a wide selection of top-shelf beer, wine, and spirits.

Ember Lounge will operate Wednesday through Sunday, with Dome After Dark starting at 10 PM on Friday and Saturday evenings. Hours of operation and tickets can be purchased at districtdome.com.
