NYE Bars?

Hello,

I just moved to Dubai from the states and I was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for a bar on NYE? I've heard from a few people that most bars/clubs have a 500 dirham minimum?

I'm looking for something without a crazy cover charge like that, I'd prefer a bar over a club and a younger crowd (I'm 23)

any suggestions?

Not found anything less than that - to be honest, you're better off deciding to celebrate NYE the day before or after. Even the Irish Village, which is the pit of all pits, wants a hefty entrance fee and that's without booze. It really depends on how desperate (and that is the key word) you are to celebrate this particular abitrary milestone. Most people I know are having private parties to avoid being ripped off, which makes you wonder who exactly is going to be at these big, expensive hotel/bar celebrations. Or perhaps I'm just being cynical...

I think they will be filled with the tourist crowd and lots of the new folks who seem to steadily trickle in who havent made friends yet and still are in awe of Dubai. Just my .02

thanks guys, looks like I'll be staying at the hotel bar and saving some cash, not worth it just for another night out

Those morons just hiked the entry fee what's with Dubai... recession is hitting up the ass and all they do is increase the goddamn fees

You need to purchase your ticket beforehand for this. Tickets are not normally available at the door and this late in the day, it'll likely be sold out already. Better to call them and check rather than risk a drive for nothing!

Hope you all have a very happy new year!

I'm staying in.

Have fun! Quite a few of my friends are going to Barasti as well but I'm staying in tonight! Not sure I am ready to brave the crowds!

And next year, I'll remember to book a Xmas and New Year break and enjoy myself properly! 2 Xmasses and New Year in Dubai is more than enough for me!
