Music entertainment in Dubai

  1. A

    Mix

    Big with the Middle Eastern crowd, Mix was Dubai’s first super-club and it’s still going strong. Every night is different, but you can generally expect hip-hop, R&B, house and Arabic pop, made better when a top international DJ spins. Things to like are the raised bar, huge dance floor, podium dancers, bongo players and stellar people-watching. Cover charge for DJ events. Ask about all-you-can-drink nights.

    Chi@the Lodge

    The shiny-shiny fave of young expats, Chi sometimes hosts live music, but the big draws are its kick-ass DJs playing funk, house, disco, drum & bass and whatever else inspires. Four big spaces, including a Balinese-themed outdoor garden, mean that if your legs need a break, you can chill in a cushioned lounge or VIP cabana. Arrive early to beat the queue.

    Keva Lounge

    This snazzy cocktail lounge welcomes you with low-slung seating, moody lighting and sensuous red, brown and golden decor. A live DJ and a respectable menu of tasty bar nibbles make it an ideal drinking hole before hitting the dance floor of the adjoining Chi@The Lodge.

    Ku-Bu

    A DJ spins funky tunes at this windowless, tattoo-themed bar with stools draped in cowhide and secluded nooks that are made even more private with plush draperies. A good choice for drinks before or after dinner at the Radisson Blu’s terrific restaurants.
