There’s a reason why Downtown Dubai remains a firm favorite among the social butterflies of the city. Home to one of Dubai’s biggest landmarks – the Burj Khalifa – there is never a dearth of things to do in this glitzy part of town.
While it was difficult having to narrow down all the nightlife hotspots in the area, after consulting our expert team of party-lovers, we’re quite confident you’re going to love the final four venues that make up this edition of the Dubainight Tour.
So, drum roll, please…
7PM: KARMA KAFÉ
With a name like Buddha-Bar backing it up, Karma Kafé is one venue that truly lives up to its stellar reputation. Tripling up as a bar, lounge and restaurant, we recommend starting your night with a few quick drinks at the stunning bar. With uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain, you’ll have to resist the urge to whip out your camera every two minutes to capture the perfect selfie moment. What’s to drink?! Choose from any of their signature cocktails or ‘Karma Klassics’ that offer an interesting twist on Asian-inspired drinks.
8:30PM: STK DOWNTOWN
Once you’re done drinking up the gorgeous Downtown views, your next stop will be internationally-acclaimed steakhouse STK at Address Downtown. This New York eatery is known for its party-like atmosphere which will make you feel like you’re sitting in the middle of a club rather than a restaurant. Once you’re done admiring the pretty cherry blossoms and waved ceilings, settle in and dig into one of their world-famous steaks. With a menu that’s as exciting as the venue itself, you’ll find plenty to satisfy all your ‘meaty’ cravings. Don’t be surprised to find the wait staff break into a dance routine every now and then; they’re so good, you might be tempted to join them too!
10:30PM: IRIS DUBAI
Admit it, it’s hard to resist a bar that serves an amazing selection of well-crafted drinks together with an unbeatable view of Dubai’s skyline. If you’ve been to Iris Dubai, you shouldn’t even be surprised to find this swanky rooftop bar on our list. Located on the 27th floor of The Oberoi Dubai, this is where you’ll be treated to the sounds of one of the most brilliant live bands in the city, Omar Team & The Band.
Having been a finalist on MBC’s The Voice, Omar is a familiar face at Iris where he performs every Tuesday with his band – and we couldn’t be happier.
12AM: SEVEN SISTERS
It’s time to get the party started at one of Beirut’s top open-bars, Seven Sisters. Perched high up in the JW Marriott Marquis, this Lebanese-import hosts its weekly ladies’ night called ‘Vibes & Views’ – where gals get 5 free drinks along with 50% off the food menu on Tuesdays. But there’s more to this hotspot than food and drinks only, the venue becomes more of a party zone later on in the night with upbeat tunes keeping you on your toes. You can expect all your party anthems to be played out one after another as your night slowly turns into morning, marking the end of yet another unforgettable Dubainight Tour.
