Sitting 230m above ground on the 51st floor of the Palm Tower, SUSHISAMBA offers some of the most jaw-dropping views in Dubai – stretching from the Palm Jumeirah fronds to the Burj Al Arab and beyond.

Sexy Fish

On the roof of Innovation One in DIFC, Sexy Fish is one of the most visually striking venues in the city. With sweeping views of the Dubai skyline and a wraparound terrace that catches the golden hour light just right, it’s a standout choice for evening drinks. The bar is framed by bronze mermaids and illuminated with custom Murano glass chandeliers, while the interiors channel an opulent underwater world. Expect inventive cocktails from the UNITY menu, a curated selection of Japanese whisky, and a lively, after-dark energy that builds as the night unfolds.

1920

On the 52nd floor of ICD Brookfield Place, 1920 brings the glamour of 1920s Manhattan to the heart of DIFC. With its moody lighting, Art Deco interiors and panoramic skyline views, it’s already become a favourite for after-work drinks and late-night catch-ups. The cocktail menu leans into vintage mixology – think elevated classics, premium pours and vintage champagnes – while the space itself is smart and sophisticated.

Attiko

Inspired by the conviviality of Asian nightclubs and lounges, Attiko will draw you in with its raw and stylish stone bar, pink interiors and sprawling views. Perfect for a sundowner, DJs and live musicians help to set the vibe. Food-wise, we love the yellowtail carpaccio with lime, green chilli, Thai basil and pomelo followed by crispy hokkaido scallop, yuzu and salmon roe.

Amazonico

For something lively, try the rooftop bar at Amazonico. With a backdrop of lush, tropical-inspired décor combining Latin American and Asian influences, there’s a cocktail bar, delicious food menu and DJs on the decks. We’re told the cassava cheese bread, wok-fried prawns and beef chorizo are all must-orders.
