Nightlife & Dining
Dubai has an excellent nightlife scene with a large choice of bars and nightclubs to be enjoyed. Most of the licensed pubs, bars and discotheques are in hotels, but there are some exceptions.
Dubai also some laws when it comes to nightclubs which should be kept in mind before heading out, all nightclubs must close at 3.00 am. The official minimum age to purchase alcohol is set at 21 but some clubs reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone below 25. At some of the most prestigious clubs in the city, bouncers tend to be a little strict about unisex groups. So as long as you have at least one girl in your party, you shouldn't face too many issues.
