Tuesday

Legendary: Pier 7

Ask almost anyone where the best place for ladies’ night is on a Tuesday, and they’ll tell you Pier 7. A ladies’ night at this Dubai Marina tower is a right of passage for any new expat in Dubai. Start at Mamazonia on the second floor, then make your way to Cargo on Level 3, The Scene on Level 4, Asia Asia on Level 5 and finish off your night at the top – Atelier M. Each offers a different ladies’ night deal, and you can make your way up the tower without having spent a dirham.

Latest: Penthouse

We love a visit to The Penthouse every day of the week (which is why we made it Bar of the Year at the What’s On Nightlife Awards), but Tuesdays are arguably their most popular. On ladies’ night, girls can enjoy three free drinks from 6pm to 9.30pm, with regular fashion shows taking over the lively, adults-only rooftop. Can’t make it on a Tuesday? Head down for their Thursday evening house night.

Latest: Mr. Miyagi’s

Who doesn’t love a night out at Mr Miyagi’s? Whether you’re taking advantage of their brilliant ladies’ night offer in the restaurant (though you’ll want to book a table a few weeks in advance), or making your way to the bar late at night for the inventive weekly shows, there’s no better Wednesday night out than Mr Miyagi’s Wednesday ladies’ night. In the restaurant, ladies pay Dhs99 for two hours of free-flowing drinks and three courses of Asian dishes, while guys pay Dhs99 for three courses and a drink.

Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE firmly put house music on the map in the UAE when it opened seven years ago. Every weekend, it brings brilliant events and top DJs to the city, with everyone who’s anyone having spun at the Ghantoot Beach club over the last few years. It’s an earlier finish than most at 11pm, but don’t let that put you off – it’s a brilliant party that livens up from sunset.

Latest: Drai’s

You might not have thought Dubai needed another alfresco super club, but that was until Drai’s arrived to fill a void you didn’t even know existed. The Las Vegas export had a lot to prove with such a huge reputation in the US, but they have delivered and then some. With the biggest names in hip-hop regularly headlining the stage to a sold-out crowd of fans, this is THE place to be on Fridays.
