Bingo, beach clubs, brunch and post-brunch parties are all waiting for you…

The new season is kicking off this weekend, which means there’s some brand new parties to get stuck into, as well as some old favourites you just can’t afford to miss.

So we’ve rounded up all the must-hit parties in Dubai this week, from poolside to after brunch house parties.

Thursday: Bongos Bingo

It’s the final installment of Bongo’s Bingo at Media One’s ON42 this Thursday. Sadly if you don’t already have a ticket for Dubai’s nuttiest night you’ve missed out – they’re already sold out. For those lucky ticket holders, expect rounds of bingo broken up with impromptu raves, dancing on the table, chanting, cheering, crowd karaoke and some hands-in-the-air anthems that have many dancing on the tables by the end of the night.

Media One Hotel Dubai Media City, 8pm to late, Thursday August 30, Dhs100. Tel: (056) 895 7532. Facebook.com/BongosBingoDubai

Thursday: 7 Sisters

This Business Bay lounge briefly opened it’s doors for a short season before closing for summer earlier this year, but from this Thursday August 30 it’s back. New resident DJ Patch will headline, bringing his unique mix of deep house, tech house and disco to the newly designed bar, which now features a retractable roof, so you can stay cool al fresco.

Seven Sisters, First Floor, JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, Business Bay, 6pm to 3am, Thursday August 30. Tel: (056) 775 4777. 7sistersdubai.com

Friday: The House Party Bar

Everyone seems to be talking about The House Party Bar, and with good reason. With its kitch ’90s decor, a soundtrack to match, and all the novelty items you’d find at a college frat party, this retro Downtown bar has brought exactly what Dubai was missing. On Fridays they want to douse you in nostalgia with an unlimited drinks package between 4pm to 8pm for just Dhs200 where you can indulge in classic fun things from our favourite decade including Nintendo, beer pong and a whole lot of Britney.

The House Party Bar, Fairmont Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, 4pm to 8pm, Fridays, Dhs200. Tel: (050) 995 5400. thehousepartybar.com

Friday: Azure Beach Lounge

Azure Beach lounge at Rixos Premium JBR is launching an Ibiza-inspired post brunch party on Friday August 31. The new Friday night called Discotique promises Ibiza vibes from 7pm until the early hours, so if you didn’t make it to the White Isle this summer, you won’t feel like you’ve missed out.
