JUBILEE LOUNGE & RESTAURANT

Established in 2009, it’s hard to think of a Lounge & Restaurant anywhere in the world that has made excellence so effortlessly routine as Jubilee Lounge & Restaurant. Our downtown lounge trick is in our trend-chasing and flash. 

Under the stewardship of Biruk Amdu, it evolves from one year to the next, always delivering with poise and studied purpose. The gleaming cubist interior frames the two bars (indoor and outdoor) like pieces of fine art. 

Our service is pitched perfectly – warm and judiciously attentive –and whatever your penchant, the cocktails, like the staff, are impeccably tailored. Like a benevolent omen, the trolley tray gently clinks and glides around the room delivering bespoke Dry Martinis – probably the best in Addis.

Everything at Jubilee just makes sense: take the latest menu, Format, inspired by the shapes and forms of our very own, the one and only Jubilee Design Atelier.

Try the King George V, a scotch and sherry mix which comes in two distinct parts, the two blended by a pull on a custom-designed, modernist stirrer.

Jubilee's Founding Father

Biruk Amdu is the founding father of Jubilee. In 2009, with humble beginnings, he started the Lounge & Restaurant. Quickly his background in engineering and his love for everything technical, gave way to Jubilee Events & Entertainment.

Unable to stop there, he solved the biggest issue that event organizers have – access to equipment. That is exactly what he did, solved the problem many organizers faced by bringing in different types of stages, the best sound system on the market, LED screens, concert lights & different stage effects, different types of tents, chairs, décor elements etc.

Again unable to stop there, with his motto “the sky is the limit”, he put together a team of innovative youngsters with whom he worked to grow Jubilee into the big enterprise that it is today; bringing his dreams to life.

He holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and is fluent in Amharic, English, Spanish and French.

This is not even half of it for Biruk, all we can do is wait and see the logical extremes of his ambitions.
