Best Bars to Visit in Dubai

The UAE is one of the most conservative Arab countries. It has strict rules: for example, Sharjah has a dry law, and selling alcohol can lead to a huge prison term. But in Dubai, the authorities do everything to make tourists feel comfortable, so the laws are much more relaxed: you can drink in bars, restaurants, and nightclubs.

Honeycomb Hi-Fi

One of the best bars in Dubai where you can drink, eat, dance, and listen to good music on vinyl. Honeycomb Hi-Fi combines two formats — a modern Japanese izakaya and a record library. In the evenings, DJs play here, mixing hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul, and light electronics. The volume level is off the charts, so don’t even hope for heated discussions with friends. Better to immediately grab a Nashiso cocktail, delve into the extensive sake list, snack on wasabi scallops and crispy chicken karaage, and enjoy. Honeycomb Hi-Fi pretends to be a speakeasy hidden bar behind a secret door in a record store, but in reality, everyone has long been familiar with the place.

• Timing: Daily 7:30 p.m.-2 a.m.
• Location: Pullman Dubai Downtown, Level 2, Business Bay

Ly-La

Alaya restaurant's speakeasy bar. To get there, you take an elevator from the restaurant. The space is reminiscent of a Bedouin tent, complete with vibrant pillows and antique lamps, and the design is influenced by Middle Eastern customs. The musical selection is diverse, ranging from house to Afro. The bartenders don't mind trying out odd pairings like watermelon and lemongrass, and the waiters are friendly and offer helpful advice.

• Timing: Daily 10 p.m.-3 a.m.
• Location: DIFC, Gate Village 4
• Phone: +971566800430

Monkey Bar

Monkey Bar is located on the roof of the brand new 25hours Hotel One Central. With a distinctly Amazonian theme, the chic bar covered in jungle pays homage to Latin America. Guests can relax at tables nestled in the jungle or in private “cages” that are perfect for groups of friends. Incredible cocktails (including those served directly from the best bars in Europe) and even more incredible views (think DIFC and the Museum of the Future) make this place one of the best rooftop bars in Dubai.

• Timing: Daily 5 p.m.–2 a.m.
• Location: Trade Centre, Trade Center St (off Sheikh Zayed Road)

Galaxy Bar

The menu doesn't even have light appetizers, making it the only bar in Dubai that can be properly referred to as a cocktail bar. We advise sitting at the bar counter to talk with the bartenders and observe them at work because Galaxy Bar fully focuses on creative drinks. Space, stars, and planets are prominent themes in the bar's interior design and cocktail map. Don't make assumptions about the names and descriptions of the cocktails; instead, discuss your preferences with the bartenders to ensure that you get a drink that suits you.

• Timing: Tue-Wed 8 p.m.-3 a.m., Thur-Sat 9 p.m.-4 a.m., Sun-Mon — closed
• Location: Gate Village, Building 9 DIFC, Unit C01

Mimi Kakushi

At number 40 on The World's 50 Best Bars list for a second year in a row, Mimi Kakushi is one of the best bars in Dubai (and the Middle East) in addition to being one of the most well-known and stylish restaurants in the city. Located in the upscale Four Seasons Restaurant Village, this restaurant transports patrons to Osaka in the 1920s, and the sultry atmosphere is echoed in the dimly lit lounge bar. The cocktail menu draws inspiration from Japanese customs and flavors while adding a contemporary twist, demonstrating the same love and inventiveness as the food menus.

Hendricks Bar at Four Seasons

The newly unveiled cocktail menu at Hendricks Bar at Four Seasons Resort Dubai, which draws inspiration from legendary figures, creativity, and inventiveness, takes guests to a different era and provides a unique experience with impeccable service. Drawing inspiration from the fictional world traveler Sir James Hendricks and the fascinating characters he may have met along the way, the menu itself features cherished recipes scrawled in his worn moleskin. As a passionate cocktail historian and head mixologist, Timothy Rosete envisioned Sir Hendricks' recipes and investigated ways to update classics with a modern twist.

Alma Music & Art Lounge

Alma Bar is a charming cocktail bar on the Sucre grounds that combines creativity, art, and culture with a distinctive menu of snacks and beverages. As you enter this Arabic bar after spotting what you hope is the entrance and are immediately drawn to the three digital art pieces behind the stage and the opulent bar. When you get there, the exterior is still quite bright, which contrasts sharply with the interior's embrace of shadows, rich red tones, opulent green and gold accents, and various Arabian trinkets.

• Timing: Mon-Thur 12 p.m.-2 a.m., Fri-Sat 12 p.m.-3 a.m., Sun 8 p.m.-2 a.m.

Bulgari Bar

All Bulgari iconic hotels have an oval bar counter that is reminiscent of the della Barcaccia fountain at the base of Rome's Spanish Steps. Even more luster is added by chandeliers with the Bulgari logo and the view of the wharf with its motorboats and yachts. Italian-style cocktails and appetizers are served here, and they do some great experiments. You can always ask for something that isn't on the menu yet.

• Timing: Daily 6 p.m.-2 a.m.
• Location: Bulgari Resort Dubai Jumeira Bay Island
• Phone: +97147775555
• Reservations: https://www.bulgarihotels.com/en_US/dubai/lounge-reservation

NYX

Source

The Greek eatery Gaia has a club called Nyx, which is named after the goddess of chaos and night. Entering requires going down a staircase and finding a secret door, which shouldn't be too difficult given that even celebrities can do it — Rita Ora, 50 Cent, and A$AP Rocky have all been there. The local design, which has a retro feel with a red velvet couch, a bright blue rug, and a mirrored ceiling, is conceptually different from the restaurants. Feel free to visit this Dubai bar even on the days when the DIFC is closed, as the DJs are there all week long.

• Timing: Daily 10 p.m.-3 a.m.
• Location: GAIA, Podium Level, Gate Village 4, DIFC
• Phone: +971525736219

The United Arab Emirates is a country with strict morals. However, since tourism is the primary source of revenue in this area, the government makes every effort to ensure that visitors are comfortable. So there are so many entertainment venues here that even the most popular ones cannot be visited in one vacation.
