Rock Bottom Café
Bask in the vintage vibe of this ’70s-era American roadhouse, while a cheesy cover band blares Top-40 hits. While it’s a regular pub by day, no self-respecting woman would come here alone at night. But with a mob of friends and a bottle of tequila gone, it’s the quintessential ending to a rollickin’ night on the town.

Jules Bar
The six-piece Filipino house band kicks, twirls and belts out Top-40 hits, while an odd mix of oil workers, Southeast Asians and European flight crews (especially on Fridays) grind shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor. Beer’s a bargain on Sunday’s Corona Beach Party, and on Tuesdays women get admission and one drink for free. If you need nibbles, there’s a decent Mexican menu. Dig those charcoal portraits of Whitney and Mariah.

Barzar
Barzar is a bit of a pick-up joint, but it’s good for preclub cocktails. Skip the glorified sports bar upstairs and report straight to the waterfront terrace to sip cold beers and killer cosmos while lolling in a beanbag chair. There are different promotions nightly and sometimes you can eavesdrop on entertainment in the adjacent Madinat Amphitheatre.

Mai Tai Lounge
The tiki bar at Trader Vic’s mixes lethal cocktails served in pineapples with paper umbrellas – the ultimate in kitsch. It’s great fun once you’ve downed your second round and the salsa band gets going, usually at 9.30pm. Unlike its sister branch at the Crowne Plaza on Sheikh Zayed Rd, here there’s room to dance.

Peanut Butter Jam
You never know what you’re going to hear at PBJ. Sink into a beanbag in the rooftop gardens of Wafi Mall and munch on barbecued goodies while you take in the night’s acts. Much of it is amateurish – a couple of steps up from karaoke – but you may be surprised.
