KIMPO
A modern Seoul-style bar, Kimpo brings the youthful, trendy, neon-lit face of Seoul to the UAE. Housed on the ground floor of Conrad Dubai, with its own entrance, Kimpo is a riot of graffiti- and pop art-style murals, juxtaposed against formica tables.
Kimpo is known for it’s ‘Brooklyn meets Seoul’ vibe, neon lights, and original K-pop artwork. The menu consists of Korean street food: expect Korean Fried Chicken, our Kimpo Signature Pizza with Salmon, and a delicious Korean Bao Bun. Opt for a healthier choice with the Kimpo-licious Poke Bowls or go for The Mango On a Stick for those that have a sweet tooth.
