Best nightclubs Dubai

The timeless address of the big city parties. Its sound volume animates the sleepless nights of this hotel. We come to have fun, not to sleep, on two levels, three interconnected bars, as many different rhythmic sources, pints galore, slim youth, "porsché" executives, what a mess, comrade!

In Dubai, it's a bit of a bubble of oxygen for fans of good-natured parties.

The clientele is elegant, but simple. You'll meet a lot of French-speaking expats in their 40s and 50s who like to sway or drink to the music of the 80s and 90s.

A very popular address also by the inhabitants of Dubai, so we recommend you to reserve of course and especially to take care of your dress. Only one concern, we don't want to go back down so much we feel good there.

The Bahri is where James Bond has his dry martini prepared by a Persian barmaid with Persian eyes.

On the 63rd floor of The Address Downtown Hotel, this cocktail bar flirts with vertigo. We love the climb that forces us to change elevators for the last step, and suddenly projects us in front of the spectacle of Burj and his vassals.

You'd think you were in Miami at the entrance of the hotel with the pool in the lobby decorated with wooden sculptures in the shape of DNA molecules, and in Ibiza at the penthouse on the ^16th floor.

While you sway on the open-air dancefloor you can't miss the view of the city on the south side and the illuminated towers of the Marina on the north side. It's all about partying, and letting the time fly by.
