Kasbar
Kasbar can be inconsistent – one night it’s packed, the next it’s dead – but we highly recommend you check out this sexy three-storey Moroccan-themed club with glittering crystal chandeliers, a coffered ceiling and big dance floor. Call ahead to reserve a table on the mezzanine where you can take in the scene from above. Or forego the thump-thump in favour of a game of billiards on the quiet lower floor – a godsend for non-dancers whose dates want to twirl. When there’s Arabian-fusion playing on the decks, don’t miss it. Cover includes one drink.

Three Monkeys Pub
The beating heart of Eilat's nightlife can be found at this wannabe English pub, which has 12 types of beer on tap (whether they can pour them is another question) and enough fruity cocktails to keep the sunburnt punters happy. Sit out on the sand under the fairy-lit palm trees, until you are drunk enough to think that the live cover band is good enough for a boogie.

Après
After four hours shopping at the Mall of the Emirates, a triple-berry cocktail becomes a very novel idea. The crowd at Après feels very expatty – loud and raucous – the polar opposite of what you see out the windows: Emiratis stumbling in the snow at Ski Dubai. Great chocolate-Cointreau fondue.

Malecon
Tequila is the essential drink at Malecon, an important stopover for the party crowd. Tipping its hat to Havana’s graffiti-walled Bodeguita del Medio, this Latino-inspired bar is the place to hit late, do shots and twirl with a Cuban heel. Look sharp; though unpretentious, the crowd appreciates nice gear.

Village
After a big Friday night, the action gets started early with a beach party gearing up around 11:00 on Saturdays. It's cheesy but lots of fun, with a sandy dance floor, a DJ playing Israeli rap and staff hosing everyone down just in case they get too hot, hot, hot.

Jordan Experience
Families will like this multimedia experience that starts off through a Disney-style siq and ends with a 40-minute film that simulates a flying-carpet tour of Jordan, complete with moveable seats. There are three shows a day.

Trader Vic's
All top-end hotels have sophisticated bar areas, often with jazz or other live music and usually featuring a 'happy hour' or cut-price cocktails. Head to the Polynesian-themed Trader Vic's for a drink.

Irish Village
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.

Sherlock Holmes
All top-end hotels have sophisticated bar areas, often with jazz or other live music and usually featuring a 'happy hour' or cut-price cocktails, including the bizarrely thematic Sherlock Holmes.
