Abatera Real Estate

Left Bank

In the Madinat Jumeirah is perfectly situated on the waterfront in one of the most tranquil areas of Dubai. A great food menu leads on to some excellent cocktails and music inside. Open 12PM - 2AM daily.

The Rooftop Swimming Pool

On top of Hilton Dubai Creek. Small bar but wonderful views especially at sunset.

The Cocktail Bar

On the 24th floor of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Has good views along Jumeirah beach and the Burj al-Arab Hotel, also an open-air terrace (open after the 1st of October).

The Terrace Bar

Park Hyatt, Deira, Dubai. A chilled out bar touching the Dubai Creek. Good for a one on one evening. Plays light music.

360°

Jumeirah Beach Hotel Complex.  The latest addition to the Jumeirah Beach hotel complex. A very cool location at the end of the hotel marina, reached by golf buggy! Open air bar with great views of the Burj hotel and the Jumeirah beach hotel all helped by a cool breeze from the ocean. Various DJ's but think Ibiza lounge bar and you won't be far off. Well worth a visit.

Sky View Bar

Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Road. Live bands (both local and international), reservations are a must.

Barasti

On the beach next to Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Resort in Dubai Marina. Built in three levels (each playing it's own music), with lounging areas on the beach, lots of young and foreign people come here during the weekend.

Rattlesnake

Restaurant and Dance Club in the Metropolitan Hotel on Sheik Zhayed Road. Live Philippino Bands and DJ. Popular for single male expats. The music is ok, but the place is just an open market for man to buy. As a single male you might attract a lot of hungry look. Not recommended unless this is what you want.

Rockafellas

Located at Regal Plaza Hotel in Bur Dubai. The same human market as Rattlesnake, but worse in quality. The music played is mostly Arabic and Russian techno. Live bands are African and not as successfull as Rattlesnake.
