Grab some drinks…

Dubai is a never-ending city of new bars, restaurants and venues to visit. Just this week alone we have welcomed two new bars and this summer there are plenty of new bar openings that will keep us partying back into the cooler months.

Here are all the new bars in Dubai to check out. 

Now open

Located within Sucre, Alma Bar is an enchanting venue that claims to celebrate the union of art, creativity and culture. Inspired by vintage glamour and the spirit of the modern-day Middle East, the venue is promising a fusion of eras from across the globe while also paying tribute to the past and the present.

Mood Rooftop Lounge

Mood - new bar in Dubai

Located on top of the Meydan Hotel, Mood has finally reopened its doors and it may as well be as good as new. The rooftop destination has undergone a full facelift. Expect a brand-new cocktail and nibbles menu along with swanky interiors that make it the perfect spot to head to for pre-drinks before checking out one of the nearby nightclubs.

Coming soon

Agora

The Dubai Edition is already teeming with spectacular restaurants and nightlife venues – and they actually have space for more. The hotel is getting a new ritzy cocktail bar joining the ranks – Agora, set to be an alluring social club that elevates your typical lounge experience by combining fresh and revolutionary mixology with an unrivalled music scene. The venue draws inspiration from the ancient Greek agora which was a central place for social discussions. It opens this summer.

L’Arc

While yes it is technically not a bar, we are still excited by the opening of a brand new nightclub that is opening its doors in Jumeirah One this summer. Using state-of-the-art visual design tech – L’Arc promises to be innovative and modern, focusing on the best of hip-hop and house music.
