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.

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.

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.
