Drinks are unlimited – and free – and if you’re after a meal then you’ll get three courses for a bargain Dhs150 (think plenty of sushi etc). There’s music from DJ Jack and the night gets livelier as the hour gets later. Put on your dancing shoes.
Dhs150 (three courses). Mon 8.30pm-midnight. Fairmont Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road (050 991 0400).
Maxx Music Bar
The deal: Three free house beverages
Although ladies’ night is on a Monday at Maxx Music Bar in Barsha, you’d think it was the weekend because the crowd here really knows how to party. It’s absolutely bouncing right through until the early hours, with the live band pumping out tunes ranging from Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry to I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. It’s a fairly small space and it’s absolutely packed when we arrive, with a somewhat middle-aged crowd throwing shapes on the dancefloor. Meanwhile, the rest of the customers crowd around standing-room-only tables. And we’re not surprised it’s so busy, because Maxx Music Bar is a proper party hotspot.
Mon 7pm-midnight. Citymax Hotel Al Barsha at the Mall, behind Mall of the Emirates (050 100 7046).
McGettigans JLT
The deal: Four free drinks
The perfect ladies’ night for throwing on your Converse and jeans, McGettigan’s JLT is relaxed and casual with a lively vibe where you can really let your hair down. Ladies get four free drinks and there’s also a ladies’ only menu that you can get stuck into at bargain prices. Make a night of it with the in-house DJ and join the scrum on the dancefloor.
Mon 6pm-10pm. McGettigan’s JLT, Bonnington Jumeirah Lakes Towers, JLT (04 378 0800).
Nobu
The deal: Three free drinks
If Nobu’s bar normally feels rather awkward and empty, it’s anything but on Mondays’ Nobu Noir night. A truly mixed crowd turns out, while ladies get three free mixed drinks – including the restaurant’s signature lychee concoction. There are also tapas-style bites available to order (chargeable) from a limited menu.
Mon 8.30pm-11pm. Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah (04 426 2626).
The Polo Bar
The deal: mixed drinks for Dhs5
Ladies, if you’re looking for a drink pre-dinner at World Cut Steakhouse then this swanky New York-style bar should be on your list, if you like mixed drinks that is. Every Tuesday and Wednesday you’ll get mixed drinks for just Dh5, which is a bargain whatever way you look at it – especially for a setting of this ilk. It’s pretty quiet, but this gentleman’s club-style sports lounge is worth popping by if you want a cheap drink and a catch up without having to yell at your companion.
Mon-Tue 9pm-midnight. Habtoor Palace, Al Habtoor City (04 435 5577).
The Stables
The deal: Five free drinks, food platter and jug of grape for Dhs99

Toro Toro
The deal: three free drinks
This trendy spot at Dubai Marina offers up a great ladies’ night on a Monday. You’ll get three free drinks, including sparkling, which you can drink in the comfortable upstairs lounge overlooking the Marina. It’s not valid in the dining room, which is a bit of a shame, but from 9pm staff will wander around serving up mini Latin American bites, to stave off any hunger. The venue is cool and classy, and attracts a well-heeled crowd, and the vibe is upbeat and fun. A glam ladies’ night that is good for a catch up in the early part of the week.
Mon 7pm-11pm. Grosvenor House Dubai, Dubai Marina (04 317 6000).
ZOCO
The deal: Three free drinks and 25 percent off food
This Latin American bar and restaurant is set in a long, narrowish space, with a cavernous, cellar-like feel thanks to the arched ceilings and exposed brick work. It’s cool and stripped back, but the shape also means it gets fairly loud when busy, so be prepared to shout to your neighbour. On ladies’ night women get three free drinks and 25 percent off food (such as tacos), which is nice enough, though we’ve definitely had better Mexican fare.
Mon 8pm-midnight. The Atrium, Al Habtoor City (04 437 0044).
TUESDAY
1 Oak
The deal: Unlimited free drinks
US export 1 OAK throws open its doors to ladies every Tuesday night, offering unlimited drinks at the swanky super club in the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai. With locations in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, all of which usually have a combination of A-listers draped across them on any given day, the Dubai branch is full of the swagger, the class and the air of exclusivity that you’d expect. A top spot if you’re after unlimited drinks and unlimited dancing.

A previous winner of our Best Ladies’ Night, this cool Asian eatery has top views of Dubai Marina and an upbeat vibe. Dress up for this one, it attracts a well-heeled crowd. Plus, you can have the drinks at the bar or over dinner. Undoubtedly the best offering in Pier 7, though you can venture to the other bars to make a night of it.
Tue 6pm-1am. Pier 7, Dubai Marina (04 276 5900).
Atelier M
The deal: Four free drinks and complimentary beauty services

BARBARY DELI + COCKTAIL CLUB
The deal: Unlimited free drinks
When you walk down the steps of its own entrance, it feels dramatic – it’s dark with bright neon signs welcoming you in. Inside, the cool vibes are obvious. It feels retro, with a hint of Dubai bling. But it’s New York-cool – the kind of place you’d expect to see hipsters in their droves. Ladies get unlimited grape and mixed drinks, too.
Tue 8pm-midnight. TRYP by Wyndham, Barsha Heights (04 247 6688).
BAR RUMBA
The deal: Unlimited free drinks and a hotdog
Tuesdays serve up free-flowing grape and bubbly to the ladies, plus don’t miss the hotdog stand where you can grab a classic free NYC-style snack. Unusual for a Chino-Latino bar, but we’re not complaining.
Tue 7pm-11pm. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street (04 511 7333).
Beefbar
The deal: two courses and a bottle of grape to share for Dhs195
This upmarket steakhouse from F1 supremo Flavio Briatore prides itself on quality meat. Not only that, it has 11 varieties of mashed potato on the menu. It’s pretty pricey, but on a Tuesday ladies can take advantage of a special deal, which will get you two courses from a special menu, plus a bottle of grape to share for Dhs195. It’s not the liveliest of venues, but for a top-notch meal at a bargain price, it’s a must for the foodies out there.
Dhs195. Tue 7pm-2am. Al Fattan Currency House, DIFC (04 352 2223).

Boston Bar
The deal: Two free drinks
An American-style pub modelled on that of US ’80s sitcom Cheers (you know, where everyone knows your name), it’s a compact space with an island bar taking centre stage where you’ll get two free drinks between 8pm and midnight. With low ceilings, dark lighting and all-round snugness, it’s cosy, but that old-school bar smokiness can make it feel a little claustrophobic at times. However, if it’s bargain drinks and a no-frills, authentic pub vibe you seek, you’ll be hard-pressed to do better in Satwa. It runs on Thursdays, too.
Tue & Thu 8pm-midnight. Satwa (04 345 5888).
Cargo
The deal: Three free drinks
Cargo has a bustling ladies’ night where ladies get three free drinks including house grape and mixed drinks, though you might have quite a wait at the bar here. Persevere and you’ll be rewarded with a buzzing atmosphere and stunning views across the Marina from the terrace.
Tue & Fri 8pm-2am. Pier 7, Dubai Marina (04 361 8129).
Casa Latina
The deal: Five free drinks
A non-descript and loosely Latin-themed bar in the budget Ibis hotel in Barsha is actually home to a thriving underground and alternative music scene in Dubai and for that reason Casa Latina is a gem. Visit on a Tuesday and you’ll get five free drinks and it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll end up on the dancefloor.
Tue 8pm-midnight. Hotel Ibis Al Barsha, Al Barsha (04 399 6699).
DOME
The deal: Unlimited free drinks
This super-club opens its doors on Tuesdays for ladies’ nights with unlimited drinks for women all night. Dj Keza and Skinnyloop provide the tunes. It’s dark, it’s trendy, it looks funky and it’s a good option if you want to dance the night away.
Tue 8pm-3am. Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, Sheikh Zayed Road (056 992 6774).
Double Decker
The deal: Three free drinks
This long-standing Downtown pub has everything you could ever want from a classic British watering-hole and its ladies’ night offers up three free drinks. It’s not one for a chic night out, but for a laid-back drink you’d do worse. A healthy dose of nostalgia comes in the form of pop memorabilia from David Bowie as well as The Beatles, adorning the entrance wall, while the stained glass windows will remind Brits of locals back home.
Tues 8pm-midnight; Thu 8pm-10pm. Al Murooj Rotana, Downtown Dubai (04 321 1111).
Drai’s Dubai
The deal: free drinks and a food platter

The new night is located on the restaurant’s Rooftop section, known for its fabulous views of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah and Arabian Gulf. Not a bad spot to sip a mixed drink. Expect everything from a lightly roasted Canadian tail and claw of lobster to a truffle cauliflower and sea bream with sunflower seeds. Sounds scrumptious.
Tue, 6pm-midnight. Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, folly.ae (04 430 8535).
Fümé
The deal: unlimited drinks.
This is a top deal if you’re in Pier 7. From 8pm onwards ladies’ get unlimited free drinks, which can be had either with dinner or in the bar area. The bar area is a little odd – being housed in a box within the restaurant for smoking– so it’s not the most glamorous of nights in the building (we’re looking at you, Asia Asia), however the vibe is good, the menu serves up some decent dishes and you can make an evening out of it by combining it with other Pier 7 venues on a Tuesday.
Tue 8pm-11.30pm. Pier 7, Dubai Marina (04 421 5669).
Grapeskin
The deal: Two free glasses of grape and a free cheeseboard
Not only do ladies get two free glasses of house grape at Grapeskin on Tuesday nights, you’ll also get a complimentary cheeseboard with a few slithers of brie, cheddar, red Leicester and the like with a handful of crackers. The venue is busy with a well-heeled crowd and the vibe is fun but still chilled with the post-work crowd letting their hair down. One of the best in the area.
Tue 8pm-10pm. La Ville Hotel & Suites, City Walk, Al Safa Street (054 309 5948).
Il Faro
The deal: Unlimited pizza and sparkling grape for Dhs150

For just Dhs150 you’ll get unlimited pizza and free-flowing sparkling grape overlooking the still waters of the Palm, and you can even bring the blokes along if you fancy, who will get the same deal for Dhs195. The ambiance is lovely, and the pizza is top-notch. One that’s best on a balmy evening.
Dhs150 (ladies), Dhs195 (men). Tue 7pm-10pm. Azure Residences, Palm Jumeirah (04 568 3137).
Industrial Avenue
The deal: Unlimited grape and mixed drinks
Enjoy eight hours of free drinks at new nightclub Industrial Avenue on Tuesdays with an “immersive, story-led experience”. Kick off your evening at The Shoreditch from 7pm until 9pm, before moving into Industrial Avenue’s main room from 9pm where the fun continues. But that’s not all. Every night has something for the ladies at Industrial Avenue with free grape on Wednesdays and free grape and mixed drinks on Thursdays and Fridays.

Le Frenchy
The deal: Unlimited free drinks and 50 percent off main course

Women can quench their thirst on unlimited free drinks from 8pm-11pm on Tuesdays and 50 percent off main course from 8pm, while blokes will get a free bottle of hops and 50 percent off main course from 8pm, which isn’t to be sniffed at, really.
Tue 8pm-11pm. Marina Byblos Hotel, Dubai Marina (04 449 8051).
Lock, Stock & Barrel Barsha Heights
The deal: Three free drinks
Ladies night here is heaving and mixed groups fill the industrial-style space. Ladies get three free drinks between 6pm and 1am and there’s a good bar menu to get stuck into. The bar can get quite lively as the night goes on and it’s not usual to see people up dancing into the later hours. We’re big fans.

The deal: Three free drinks and 50 percent off any pizza and pasta
For an unpretentious midweek drink with pals, we’re not sure there’s anywhere more universally welcoming than Rosso. On Wednesdays, you’ll receive three free drinks and 50 percent off all pizzas and pasta. Rosso is smart and sleek, but lacks any typical Dubai showiness, instead creating the relaxed ambiance of a neighbourhood pub.
Tue 6pm-11pm. Amwaj Rotana – JBR, (04 428 3084).
The 44
The deal: Three free drinks
The 44 is a games-lover’s dream. There are pool tables, dart boards and even a ten-pin bowling alley to get your fix, while enjoying three free drinks from the massive bar. Outside, a sprawling terrace area offers a second bar for those seeking respite from the bowlarama mania. Green leather sofas and very East End London decorations (think cats with moustaches and gorillas with monacles) kit out the cool bar. There’s definitely a lot to love.
Tue 7pm-11pm. Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, Sheikh Zayed Road (054 5811 758).
Treehouse
The deal: Two free drinks and 30 percent off the bill
Treehouse is the type of place you should definitely take visitors. The view from the rooftop terrace is out of this world and showcases the city from its very best angle. At sundown it’s stunning, and when the buildings all light up it’s pretty special, too. Drinks usually come in on the pricey side, as you’d expect for the views, so two free mixed drinks on ladies’ night is not to be scoffed at.
Tue 7pm-2am. Taj Hotel, Business Bay (04 438 3100).
The Penthouse
The deal: Three free drinks
This is officially the best ladies night in Dubai, as we crowned it as such in our 2018 Time Out Dubai Music & Nightlife Awards. The Penthouse is a super spot whatever the occasion. Whether you’re catching up with your friends, wowing visitors or on a romantic date (those views), this one is a winner. You’ll get three free drinks to sip on while you enjoy the stunning vistas across to Dubai Marina. It gets busy, you’ll need to arrive early and the crowd is super-glam. If you go to one ladies’ night – let it be this one.
Tue 6pm-9.30pm. FIVE Palm Jumeirah Dubai, Palm Jumeirah (052 900 4868).
The Polo Bar
The deal: mixed drinks for Dhs5
Ladies, if you’re looking for a drink pre-dinner at World Cut Steakhouse then this swanky New York-style bar should be on your list, if you like mixed drinks that is. Every Tuesday and Wednesday you’ll get mixed drinks for just Dh5, which is a bargain whatever way you look at it – especially for a setting of this ilk. It’s pretty quiet, but this gentleman’s club-style sports lounge is worth popping by if you want a cheap drink and a catch up without having to yell at your companion.
Mon-Tue 9pm-midnight. Habtoor Palace, Al Habtoor City (04 435 5577).

Salero Tapas & Bodega
The deal: three free drinks
If you’re in the Mall of the Emirates on a Tuesday evening, this is a decent spot for a post-shopping drink and catch up with your friends. It’s also couple-friendly, as you can have your free drinks at the table while dining, as the deal isn’t restricted to the bar area. You have a choice from house grape or Spanish mixed beverages, and service is swift and friendly. Food is on the pricey side, although there are deals – such as three tapas for Dhs107, so it’s not going to break the bank to have some nibbles (we recommend the croquetas). The vibe is chilled-out but fun, and there’s live music, so although it’s not a party venue it’s worthy stopping by if you fancy saving some dirhams after giving your credit card a workout at the mall.
Tue 8pm-11pm. Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha (04 409 5888).
STK JBR
The deal: Three free drinks, plus two courses for Dhs199, or three courses for Dhs239
You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped onto the set of The Only Way Is Essex/Made In Chelsea/some sort of glammed-up hybrid of the two, upon arriving at this slick basement steakhouse, such is the excitable crowd. A great deal, and a popular one. (Though again, those details at the door…). Book ahead.

Le Petit Belge Business Bay
The deal: Three free house drinks, Dhs100 for unlimited drinks.
Compared to its older sister in JLT, this Le Petit Belge is a little on the sad side. Whereas the JLT version is packed every Wednesday, has a great vibe, a mixed crowd and loads of fun, this one you and your mates may well be sitting at a near-empty bar. We certainly were on our visit. There’s a menu of ladies’ nights bites, which are tasty albeit pricey, and now the deal has changed from unlimited free drinks to just three (although you can upgrade to unlimited for Dhs100), we can’t see it picking up very quickly.

McGettigan’s DWTC
The deal: Five free selected house beverages.
For a night out that focuses on chilled banter rather than making you get up on your feet, McGettigan’s DWTC branch is the place to go. Its cosy and spaced out setting makes for a quaint atmosphere, where you can sit down and have a good old chinwag, thanks to music being kept at a decent level. The ladies night also features the acoustic talents of Mike Ross, playing catchy, classic tunes, too. It’s more often than not packed, but not uncomfortably so. Not a party night, but good for a catch up, get there early to nab a table and enjoy the friendly vibe.

The problem is stopping at just one, when there’s a menu full of tacos, nachos and quesadillas. But you don’t have to, we’re not here to judge.
Wed 7pm-11pm. Holiday Inn Express, Al Safa (04 327 5878).

Ramusake
The deal: Unlimited drinks

But once you order up some of the sushi and dim sum you’ll be pleased you did. It turns into a bit of a club-style vibe later when the bar areas transforms into a dance floor. A partygoers’ ladies’ night.

Bā
The deal: unlimited drinks for Dhs99

If you’re peckish you can also order up some nibbles such as crispy duck buns or tuna tacos. A good start to the weekend if you’re in the area.

Boston Bar
The deal: Two free drinks
An American-style pub modelled on that of US ’80s sitcom Cheers (you know, where everyone knows your name), it’s a compact space with an island bar taking centre stage where you’ll get two free drinks between 8pm and midnight. With low ceilings, dark lighting and all-round snugness, it’s cosy, but that old-school bar smokiness can make it feel a little claustrophobic at times. However, if it’s bargain drinks and a no-frills, authentic pub vibe you seek, you’ll be hard-pressed to do better in Satwa.
Tue & Thu 8pm-midnight. Satwa (04 345 5888).
Double Decker
The deal: Three free drinks
