Iris Dubai

Rooftop Bars $$$$

Iris is the long-running rooftop lounge above the Meydan Racecourse grandstand — Friday night is the proper Dubai see-and-be-seen evening with the cabanas booked weeks ahead.

The deck is broken up by Moroccan-style tented cabanas around a central DJ booth that switches from house to deep tribal as the night runs on. The skyline view picks up the Burj Khalifa from a distance with the racecourse stretched out in front.

Cabanas have minimum spends from AED 2,000 weekends. Walk-ins for the bar deck only.

Keep drinking
