The Chairman’s Club
A reader sent in pictures of the Chairman’s Club which is located on the last floor of the Burgan Bank building. The Chairman’s Club is an invite only club where they supposedly have a KD35 burger. Check out the pictures below.
Thanks Alex!

Language correction
It’s not the “last floor”, it’s the “top floor”.
Cheers

Am sure burgers are not the only items being served seeing that it’ an invite only club…hence privacy…

Hey Mark… There seems to be a glitch in the photo viewer.. the ads overlap a portion of the viewer when viewed in Firefox…

With our finest selection of fresh juices… :p

WOW I heard of it! but I never thought it was real!! PLUS! I have been told that alcohol is permitted in the club!! is that real as well!

@lensman, i’ve viewed in firefox its just fine.
@SWAiN, being rich in Kuwait doesn’t necessarily means that the person is ‘open’ or whatever… in fact, most of wealthy people nowadays are labeled as ‘religious’ (even though they used religion in one way or the other to make their fortune).

so the idea is you pay a huge amount of money to just go and sit there ! and sometimes you’d pay double the huge amount of money to just go sit and eat a burger .35KD ! its a burger what could possibly be in this burger that would make it worth 35KD ,do they serve french fries with it by the way?
12. nino | October 27th, 2009 at 5:21 am
I woujldn’t mind having my gin and tonic there.
13. Rabih | October 27th, 2009 at 6:15 am

14. Omar | October 27th, 2009 at 6:15 am
Looks like any other Hotel lobby or Business Center.
15. mentabolism | October 27th, 2009 at 6:57 am
35 KD yes…but then you’d be dining with the rich and shameless…did I say that…well you know what I mean!!

The membership fee is something outrageous as well. Suspic – sausage club – haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
17. Bu Khaled | October 27th, 2009 at 7:22 am

18. Mimi | October 27th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Great, just what we need.. another place for the elitist idiots to meet and discuss how to screw us over.

# 5 is right, there is a glitch. Ads overlap the pictures in Firefox.
20. Kuwait | October 27th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Shoot… forgot to change the nick :|

So how does it compare with DWTC?
The pictures are a throwback to the Hunting & Equesterian Club, in its heyday, before the invasion. Dunno, if they have spiffed up the place now.

23. Abdulrahman | October 27th, 2009 at 10:46 am
They have one of the best steaks I have ever tried. And the view is fantastic
24. cajie | October 27th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Well, it’s a perfect setting to enjoy a 35KD burger.
It must be nice to be rich.
25. Chinchilla's thy name | October 27th, 2009 at 11:21 am
It’s decided – we shall have the next b-logger’s meetup at the Chairman’s Club downtown. All are welcome :)
P.S : Dunno which is the funnier part – Chairman’ s Club for the venue or the ‘all are welcome’ part?
26. puff | October 27th, 2009 at 11:46 am
I’ve been there for an evening of free cigars and drinks. Yes the rumors are true, they serve alcohol! And yes, the waitresses are Russian or other eastern European nationalities. A few or them are tall and blonde. But it’s usually a bunch of older rich guys sitting around and talking, nothing very exciting.

@Puff Thanks
@3azeez save the effort :)
@Bu Khaled be careful la “3azeez” yaklek! lol

New goal for 2010…
29. F | October 27th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Nobu,
Punctuation correction:
it’s not ” ‘It’s not the “last floor”, it’s the “top floor’. ”
it’s “last floor,” It’s the “top floor.”
Cheers

I guess it must be empty these days…
31. ariston | October 27th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Not only burger, last month I’d saw a Chairman’s Club menu book being sold @ Jarir Bookstore in Hawally.
32. zaydoun | October 28th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Slow news day, Mark? The Chairman’s Club has been around for at least 4 years
33. Mark | October 28th, 2009 at 12:12 am
Yeah but this is the first time anyone posts pictures.
34. Bingo Man | October 28th, 2009 at 11:20 am
I’m disappointed no body took a picture of the bar !
35. KuwaitQ | October 28th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Nice one Bingo Man… ;D
36. Bashar | October 29th, 2009 at 2:29 am
i heard its 600KD burger not 35KD burger ?
btw these pictures were circling mailing lists since late 2003
37. Mark | October 29th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Bashar: No they weren’t because the pictures were timestamped and they were shot July 2009 with a D80.
38. Bashar | October 29th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Mark: i’ll locate that email on yahoo group that arrived to me and see if i can find it :)
i’m sure i’ve seen those or similar pictures ages ago talking about 600KD burger on burgan bank roof
