Bars in Dubai

It's almost impossible to advise bars in Dubai which will be good for everyone. Below you can find a list of places where I've been for the past time to make full joy of Dubai Nights.

Vu's Bar - situated at the 51st floor of the overpoweringly space age EJumeirah Emirates. The beautiful views over the sea from Vu's Bar - possibly Dubai's shorthand for views. Like in many alluring UAE hotels, the crowd is an up market mix of guests, who are dressed to impress. The soft-cushioned air-conditioned lavishness can make you feel like a superstar. If you try the 51st Floor house cocktail, you will find it so yummy. We even forgot to ask what it was. But if you can't find it, don't worry - there's a astonishing 200 cocktails to choose from! If you are looking for a night club in Dubai don't go there. It's definitely not that kind of party.

Boudoir - If you're not staying at the Dubai Marine Beach in some property in Dubai, catch a cab to this place and check out the Boudoir. It's bursting with nice furnishings, oil paintings and velvet plush, done in an magnificent French Renaissance style. Entrance with rose bowls, rich cocktail menu, Boudoir has certainly abandoned Dubai's obvious Eastern theme and gone for authenticity in its own.

360ยบ Bar - The name of the place says for itself. This elegant, laid-back terrace bar swanks outstanding panoramic view of the ever changing Dubai property, ever evolving Dubai skyline and wonders of Dubai Night life. Placed in the centre of the Gulf, at the heart of the huge, wave-shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel, this naturally cool spot is popular hangout with Dubai's cocktail set. Chic and sophisticated, bathed in desert sun, this is the perfect place to escape overwhelming Dubai buzz and relax in a beautiful atmosphere. Cool house tunes set the tone at the Bar, playing until the early morning. The visitors sink into comfy sofas and sip a drink (or two, and more) as they watch the sunset.
Alamo -located at the Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa is a Tex/Mex restaurant with emphasis on the bar drinks.

Dubai Cultural Village

Recent years have seen the emirate of Dubai take a series of bold steps towards dictating a brave, new and successful future for itself. A future not shaped on the previous successes of its abundant natural resources, but on the new global industries of technology and tourism. At the heart of this new strategy lies the Dubai Culture Village, uniquely contrasting surrounding modern day Dubai with its focus on the ancient mysteries and cultures of the past.
Bearing in mind Dubai's focus on being at the leading edge of technology and commerce, it is therefore strangely ironic that many of the emirates most recent luxurious and prestigious developments have chosen to locate themselves within the more historical and cultural surroundings of the Dubai Culture Village.
Located along the shoreline of the Creek, the Dubai Culture Village is a rich blend of Middle Eastern history with the heritage of ancient Dubai. Throughout the Dubai Culture development, the unique architecture offers a unique mixture of ancient Arabic traditions with Dubai design. This blend, the finest of old and new, has resulted in Dubai Culture Village becoming one of the most desirable residential locations in modern day Dubai.
