Dubai,
has
an
excellent
nightlife
scene
(except
for
Monday's
which
tends
to
be
pretty
dead)
with
a
large
choice
of
bars
and
nightclubs
for
you
to
be
able
to
enjoy
whilst
there.
Below
is
a
list
of
some
of
the
more
popular
bars,
with
a
review
that
will
help
you
to
choose
where
to
go
and
when.
You
will
need
to
know
that
most
of
the
bars
that
can
serve
alcohol
are
only
in
hotels,
there
are
though
a
few
exceptions,
and
most
of
these
are
reviewed
here.
Dubai
also
has
some
interesting
laws
regarding
clubs;
they
all
must
close
at
3
am,
you
must
be
21
to
drink
alcohol,
25
to
enter
a
nightclub,
and
interestingly
they
are
not
allowed
by
law
to
refuse
entrance
to
anyone,
including
members
only
clubs.
Having
said
that
this
does
not
mean
that
you
will
be
able
to
walk
into
any
members
club
free
of
charge,
a
lot
of
the
members
clubs
have
very
high
entrance
fees,
that
they
will
charge
you
if
you
do
insist
on
applying
the
law
and
entering
the
club.
This
to
be
honest
is
a
good
thing
as
it
allows
the
clubs
to
ensure
a
good
mixture
of
clientele.
We
have
included
below
tips
on
how
to
get
into
some
of
the
most
exclusive
clubs,
so
please
do
read
the
reviews
thoroughly.
Have
a
great
time.
Many
people
expect
the
U.A.E.,
being
an
Islamic
country,
to
have
a
pretty
tame
nightlife.
This
is
definitely
not
the
case
in
Dubai.
There
are
plenty
of
bars
and
clubs
(most
based
in
hotels
in
order
to
serve
alcohol)
attracting
a
lively
and
eclectic
crowd.
Most
nightclubs
have
cover
charges,
and
drinks
tend
to
be
pricey.
Virtually
every
bar
in
town
has
a
resident
band
and
deejay,
and
there
are
a
few
jazz
bars
and
piano
lounges
with
excellent
live
performers.
Most
bars
don't
start
filling
up
until
at
least
9
pm,
and
the
nightclubs
are
practically
empty
until
about
11
pm.
Thursday
is
always
busy
because
it's
the
start
of
most
people's
weekend.
Tuesday
is
Ladies
Night
at
many
places.
Most
bars
and
clubs
close
by
about
3
am,
and
there
are
usually
plenty
of
cabs
waiting
outside
to
take
you
home.
The
great
thing
about
Dubai
is
that
crime
is
virtually
unheard
of,
so
you
are
perfectly
safe
getting
a
cab
or
walking
back
to
your
hotel
even
in
the
early
hours
of
the
morning.
Although
it
isn't
openly
discussed,
some
bars
and
clubs
have
a
"door
policy,"
which
is
sometimes
blatantly
racist.
If
you
find
this
is
the
case,
arguing
with
the
doorman
rarely
makes
a
difference
--
just
don't
give
that
place
your
business.
