Where We Are Going Today: De’ Glitch Club in Riyadh

Visiting De’ Glitch Club in Riyadh feels like stepping into a completely different side of the city, one that is modern, bold, and buzzing with energy. 

Located along Al-Urubah Road, the place immediately stands out with its futuristic design and dramatic lighting. From the moment you walk in, you feel the venue is crafted to impress, with every corner designed to pull you into its atmosphere. It is one of those places where the atmosphere strikes you before anything else does. 

The lighting, the decor, the layout, and even the seating choices all contribute to a mood that is both high-end and comfortably social. It does not feel like a typical lounge or just another hangout spot. Instead it presents itself as a social club where music, food, and energy merge into one. The crowd is lively but not overwhelming, and the staff manage to be welcoming and give you space. 

Music is a huge part of what makes De’ Glitch work. The DJ has a solid mix of house beats, Arabic remixes, and electronic tracks that keep the atmosphere warm and dynamic. It is a place where the sound does not just sit in the background. It moves with the room and shapes the entire experience. You will find yourself staying longer than you planned simply because the energy keeps rising in a way that feels natural. 

Food-wise, the offerings are simple but satisfying. You must try the churros served with milk-chocolate sauce — they are crispy, warm, and just the right amount of sweet. The mocktails are refreshing and well-balanced, definitely better than what you would expect from a typical nightlife spot. Shisha is also available, which adds a familiar social element for many guests; it blends smoothly into the modern setting. 

This place feels like the city is embracing concepts that are creative, contemporary, and more global, without losing that sense of local comfort. The crowd seems diverse and relaxed, and the venue gives you permission to unwind, be social, and enjoy the moment.

You will realize that De’ Glitch is not just a place to visit, but a place to return when you want a night that feels fresh, modern, and full of character. 

If you are looking for a spot in Riyadh that delivers ambiance, music, and personality in one package, De’ Glitch definitely hits the mark.

Where We Are Going Today: Circle 3 at Fenna Alawwal

RIYADH: Fenna Alawwal is located in Riyadh’s Al-Safarat neighbourhood, known as the Diplomatic Quarter, and serves as a cultural and creative hub that embraces a diverse community of thinkers and creators.

Connected to the center, Circle 3 by Acoustic is a restaurant and coffee shop that serves a variety of food options and beverages. I tried the lunch menu and coffee during my visit.

The center is spacious, and the interiors have a minimalist touch; the ambient music was soft and soothing. Overall, the vibes at Fenna Alawwal were very relaxing and pleasant.

For SR130 ($35), I ordered the eggplant fattah, the baked lasagna, and coffee after my meal. The cost was understandable, considering the restaurant’s location, and the food was good overall.

One of the services provided by the center was the “short stories” station for visitors interested in reading, along with a mini art gallery in the center’s outdoor area, and a library and bookshop.

Yet, I would have liked Wi-Fi, as the center is an excellent option for people looking for a private, quiet spot in Riyadh to enjoy a cup of coffee and work.

Fenna Alawwal also has its own parking lot, which is an advantage considering the low chances of finding an empty parking space near the center.
