;
31 St, Al Garhoud; 11am-1.30am; GGICO)
Better known as 'the
IV', this always-buzzy pub with its faux Irish main street facade is popular with expats for
its pondside 'beer garden'. No happy hour, but there's Guinness and Kilkenny on tap. Not
far from the airport, next to Dubai Tennis Stadium and the Aviation Club.

COCKTAIL BAR
( 04-366 6730; Al Sufouh Rd, Mina A'Salam Hotel, Madinat Jumeirah; 4pm-2am Sat-Wed, to 3am Thu & Fri;
Mall of the Emirates)
Cocktails with a mesmerising view of the Burj Al Arab are the main
draw at this polished grown-up bar. Come early to score a comfy sofa on the carpet-
covered verandah. Live band after 9.30pm.

BAR, CLUB
( 406 8769; Jumeirah Rd, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Umm Suqeim; 6pm-2am Tue-Thu, 4pm-2am Fri & Sat;
Mall of the Emirates)
Capping a long pier, 360° has been through a makeover but still delivers
the same magical views of the Burj Al Arab. On weekends there's a guest list and the
place is crawling with shiny happy hotties, but other nights are mellower.
Trilogy
CLUB
(Al Sufouh Rd, Souk Madinat Jumeirah; 9pm-late; Mall of the Emirates)
With three floors of
Moroccan-inspired decor and a sumptuous gold-and-silver colour scheme, this is high-
octane dance spot for illustrious party people, including the occasional celeb. It's right by
the entrance to Souk Madinat.

Seaside Barasti is the top spot for laid-back sundowners on a hot afternoon. No need to
dress up - you can head straight here after a day at the beach. Not a place for quiet time:
on weekends there can be up to 3000 revellers.
