Escape the heat in some of Dubai’s most fabulous bars…
Those temperatures keep on rising which means it’s time to swap some of our top alfresco drinking spots for the relieving climes of air-conditioning. If you’re wondering where to go, check out our pick of top indoor bars to keep cool in this summer.
Amazonico
Step into the rainforest at stunning jungle-inspired hotspot, Amazonico. The restaurant is made up of three floors, with the cool bar and lounge area found on the ground floor. The design is truly stunning, with giant plants, rich metals and plush furnishings everywhere you look. It’s the ultimate hang-out for those looking for fun in DIFC.

Americano
Cool speakeasy bar Americano is one of the most popular spots in Souk Madinat Jumeirah, with great music, inventive cocktails and an American-style menu with some of the best burgers and hotdogs in town. The staff deserve a mention too, as they really make Americano what it is.

Since it opened back in January, Bla Bla has become one of the hottest places on Dubai’s nightlife scene. With one beach club, three restaurants and 20 bars, there’s no wonder. From the record room and Irish bar in one part, to The Tent, filled with different-themed bars, there’s something for everyone.

Black
Black is definitely more of a nightclub than a bar but, hey, you’re looking for nightlife right? Black is the brand new club just opened at Soho Garden, and it’s the biggest indoor club in Dubai. As the outside temperates become more unbearable, you now have an air-conditioned haven to continue your late night adventures.

Flashback
Paramount, the Hollywood-themed hotel in Downtown Dubai, has a secret speakeasy bar that we don’t think you’ll have heard about yet. Called Flashback, it’s located behind a secret door, and you’ll have to ask the team at the front desk for its location. The theme is full 1920’s prohibition era, complete with furry barstools and retro gramophone. Pull up a chair and watch the mixologists get to work on creating you a theatrical cocktail. There’s even a happy hour every day from 4pm to 8pm.
