Let’s get back to business…

After a short (much-needed) break from indulging in all the big nights out that Dubai has to offer, the nightlife scene is once again buzzing with activity. Most of your favourite bars and clubs are reopening their doors for a weekend of food, drinks and entertainment.

Here are 13 places you can party like a rockstar this weekend.

Wednesday June 5

Cartel

La Carnita’s secret bar has launched a weekly ladies’ night taking place every Wednesday. Called PATRONA, it offers girls unlimited free drinks from 11pm to 2am including house beverages and wine. The music is an eclectic mix of 2000’s RnB and hip-hop, afrobeat mixed with oldschool favourites.

Bagatelle

On Wednesdays Bistrot Bagatelle takes it back, back to an era where all that mattered was the height of your hair and the tightness of your leather trousers. Rock ‘N’ Baga is the Wednesday evening that’s made its way from Bagatelle Miami to show Dubai’s fun-loving residents how to rock. Expect classic tunes from the 1980s and 1990s on the decks, and Bagatelle’s signature French dishes on the table. Tuck into the most delectable poulet rôti à la truffe noire and carré d’agneau, all washed down with a signature drinks menu.
