1
Dance on a beach
Barasti is both Dubai’s most notorious and most popular bar. Watch as grins spread widely across your visitors’ faces as they first set foot on the sand with a drink in hand. It’s a look that says ‘am I on a night out or am I at the beach ... ?’
2
Drink cocktails at the highest lounge in the world
Nestled on the 22nd floor of the Burj Khalifa take in panoramic views of the city. Dress to impress and you will be treated to first class service.
3
Watch the sun set at 360 °
This much-lauded circular bar’s international relaunch is on October 11, when the new indoor club will be revealed. It is located at the end of a jetty surrounded by the Arabian Gulf has eye-popping views of the Burj Al Arab. Arrive early at the weekends and you can settle on a beanbag and sup a drink as the sun dips below the horizon.
4
Smoke shisha at dusk by the creek
For creek views, friendly staff and great shisha, you will not find a more picturesque setting that QDs’ beautiful site on the banks of the creek. Visit is on weekend nights, when the large predominantly Arabic crowd socialise through wafts of shisha into the small hours. QD’s closes in the summer months, when the idea of drinking al fresco is rarely harboured, even in the most addled mind.
5
Sing Karaoke at Harry Ghatto's
If you have accepted your inner diva, then Harry Ghatto's is the best place in Dubai to belt out a few classics. Nestled in the back room of a sushi restaurant, the can't-swing-a-cat cosiness and twin microphone set-up inspires a brothers-in-song ambience.
6
Bling it up
There are some occasions that only your best clobber, er, finery will do. At the Cavalli Club, every night is one of those occasions. Flamboyant, gaudy: with Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli at the helm, this venue was never going to be understated.
7
Dance around your handbag at Boudoir
Boudoir hosts the city’s best ladies’ night. And, best of all, at Boudoir, it is ladies’ night every night! This swanky, wannabe Parisian club ranks as one of the most exclusive venues in the city. Boudoir attracts a predominantly Lebanese crowd and if you want to get past the door staff, you should be dressed to impress and preferably in a couple.
8
See stand-up at The Laughter Factory
The Laughter Factory is firmly established as the city’s most popular regular comedy circuit – and it shows no signs of slowing. Shows take place in various venues across Dubai.
9
Live music at The Music Room
Check out The Music Room’s new house band, Shine, who hail from Australia, Canada, USA, the UK and South Africa and promise to play hits by the likes of AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, LMFAO, J-Lo, Cee Lo Green and Rihanna.
10
Visit the theatre
Theatre and Dubai may not be words that are often associated with each other. But that has not stopped The First Group Theatre from earning a strong reputation in a fast-developing part of the city’s culture. Follow the Souk Madinat Jumeirah’s bazaar-like pathways and find a purpose built theatre that attracts a range of shows, from stand-up comedy, such as Al Murray’s Pub Landlord, to musicals including the ever-popular The Sound of Music
