Reviews
Great food and nice Friday show but those are my only positives. Service is painfully slow! I went here as a couple, 2 years ago, and had a really lovely time so I was really disappointed with my latest visit (in a group). I wouldn't recommend for large groups. I had to ask 3 different people to get a drink which eventually came 20mins later. I was then asked to pay for it immediately. Not a good experience.
BLA BLA…
The location is amazing 🤩 In one place have a lounge, club, Beach, and swimming pool. We like to go to the club. Wonderful music, nice vibes. But the service is not perfect. You wave for a long time or call the waiter. Drinks and food are good. Thank you blabla I will come again )

Such a rich stunning atmosphere. My eyes kept wondering in all directions and I’d definitely go back just to experience it from a different angle / seating area. The sushi was good not the best I’ve had but still fresh and tasty. The tempura was very good. Sashimi isn’t my thing but it tasted good too. The signature cocktail with gin pear and Prosecco definitely falls into my top 5 drinks . Loved loved it. Pricey. Definitely a fancy night out. 3 sushi dishes and 4/5 drinks cost over 600 aed.
While I used to be a regular here as it is located right next to my building, today I’d the worst experience and I won’t be returning. The place was barely filled and I had ordered a beer. Even before I finished half my beer, the staff came and gave me my cheque. They did not even bother to ask if I wanted another drink or anything else. It felt like they wanted me out of the place. I’m definitely not coming back.
Had a great time with friends here! Delicious food, especially the burgers, paired with prompt and courteous service. The ambiance is perfect for hanging out, especially in the bustling tourist hub of Dubai. Highly recommended!
We went for a pool day here. We hired a cabana for 800AED total, all of which was spent on food and drinks throughout the day and was totally worth it. The drinks are lovely, the food is amazing and the service was brilliant- I will definitely be going back. Really good tunes too and the pool is gorgeous.
Totally underwhelming experience. I read so many good reviews but the food was a huge disappointment.
The staff were very attentive and friendly but the service itself could be a lot better. The restaurant itself was quite empty.
Cocktails not recommended.
The view was murky through dirty window panes. Maybe it's better in the winter or when they're busy.
Parking is available in the basement or paid RTA parking just outside the hotel

The lounger haven't been clean. The employees have been nice. The beach unfortunately under construction.
Our favourite club. Staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Hostess Meryam. Music is very good, DJs are changing, my favourite is DJ VAL.
Killer vibe..
Love the place..
Been here multiple time with friends
Always a killer vibe...
Amazing staff good service, and a really good crowd...
We took an unlimited package of 199 was worth the time and money
Bouncer didn't let me take the photos though, but this was amazing..
Thanks guy's...

We went to the night club in Bla Bla on a Friday Night. The atmosphere in the club was great, it was quite busy, but not too busy. The crowd was quite diverse and the staff was serving quite fast despite it being busy.
I would recommend to stay closeby, as traffic on JBR drive is horrendous in the evenings.
I enjoyed my time and can recommend it.

Very nice and comfortable Location on JB. Unfortunately in this hot season only a salad-top. Further on salmon tartar-deliciouse. The Cocktails are tasty. Happy Hour from 04:00 p.m. to 09:00 p.m.
Awesome

It was one of the best experiences , so much fun.They serve oriental pan asian cuisine. The vibes of this place are thrilling with the DJ and saxophonist playing for you. The service is amazing. It is a great place for a birthday clebration, casual friends meeting or simply if you wanna have fun and dance visit them. You`ll love it. You can leave your car in valley of the hotel.
Barasti beach offers a good afternoon, evening or night out. Entrance is free. There are luxury hotels by the entrance and impressive vistas of Dubai on all sides. It is spread across several areas from bars to pool to the beach. Drinks and shisha are reasonably priced . Service was slow even though it was not busy when we went. Staff could have been friendlier (not as friendly as the dubai average!).
Take a normal Hala cab as you leave (don't be caught out by the 'limos' waiting to pounce - totally unnecessary expenditure).
Overall, well worth a visit or two. I know I'll be going again.

So this is actually the most electrifying brunch of dubai. Budha Bar brunch lived upto the expectations in every way possible. The cuisine was pan asian and the kung pao chicken was a winner. Drinks were amazing and the service was top notch. Overall ambience was lively and we din't feel like leaving. Totally recommended!
I celebrated my birthday here :) Vibe is quite dull but I had the best company. DJ was awesome n he played 2 of my choices. Drinks were served on auto mode :)... I din even realise when my screwdriver ended n the next came. I'll recommend it only if u have a large fun group who wants to chill on budget. Don't go alone you'll walk out depressed!
The place not like before but still you can enjoy ur time there.
Entry fees : 100 aed per person include 3 drinks
There is no policy for couples only and we have been there during the week.
There is no access to the beach since there is service running now a days and the pool only.
They have live music which is nice to take rest and relax after long day in the pool.
Parking free and available it’s better to stamp it.
Food and drinks good in general.

Closes early like on sunset
Good place to do chill out, swimming, but only evening or early morning time.. Day time too hot🥵🥵🥵
Card parking rate is too much costly
Amazing place ,very nice and beautiful
Beautiful place with astounding views of the city. The theme is dark which works for me. Service is smooth and the drinks are refilled on time. They have an entire floor to them which is good to move around as well
Amazing experience. Amazing music, food and drinks. Thank you so much
🤞 awesome
Good beach place where to swim and fun with family and friends. Some ride also costly and food to. Normally Thursday and Friday very less time so better visit other day and summer time less crowded while season time much crowded and hard to get cab or anything because a lot waiting. Kids zone also here kids can play some games and food also good to enjoy. Book Cab easy way to reach there. Dubai deira city to marina beach cab charge 100 dirham so in that base cost assume your way
I spent my off day to take some enjoyment here and I didn’t regret. It was so amazing experience! Atmosphere is wonderful! Stuff is so nice ! Great service and food🤍 definitely we will back soon✨
The best pub at jbr. Great service, very delicious food and amazing atmosphere. There are plenty of screens to watch different sports. We always go there to watch Formula 1 on a big screen. Happy hour drinks selection is really good as well. They have lots of different offers during the week.
The party had a fantastic atmosphere, with vibrant lights, a beautifully decorated venue, and a lively crowd ready to dance the night away. But what truly set this party apart was the amazing DJ NJR🍻 who took the entertainment to a whole new level. it was an absolute blast,The Dj’s song selection was spot on, keeping everyone on their feet throughout the night. From classic hits to the latest chart-toppers, they effortlessly mixed different genres and eras, catering to all musical tastes. The transitions between songs were seamless, creating a continuous flow of high-energy tracks that had the entire crowd grooving and singing along Thanks NJR brother for a great experience 🥰🍻
A very good relaxing day. We went while I assume a lot of people were on holiday so it wasn't as busy, which I prefer. Food was amazing and service very good. Everything was clean and just a very nice place to be. Will defs go again.
Always a go to if you just have a couple of hours for the beach and you don't want to spend money like crazy. I like the decoration and different chill out areas very much. A Sunday here feels like a little festival and it's a great spot for watching sports.
What a find! We booked for our friend’s birthday celebration, and the thoughtful baloons on the table, to the name birthday greeting on screen and Cake+candle sparkle really made our friend’s bday memorable for him!
Great vibe, delicious food, music & DJ was great and just a fun crowd and hangout place on a Saturday night! Definitely coming back again! Shoutout to Miriam and the attentive guy staff who made sure we have drinks on our table and food arrived on time!

Never gets old, definitely one that we love to visit. Chilled atmosphere, beach and pool, no dress code. Great food and drinks. Wish there was more places like this in Dubai . This year's summer tent is up and it's called Disco Tropicana.
The service was not good, the beach was not clean, and the pool was small and crowded. The sofas were in bad condition, and the shower was dirty and not near the beach or pool. The vibes were not cool, as there were too many single men.
However, the DJ was very good, and the entry price is very reasonable (100 AED for entry and 3 beers).

One of my favorite place in Dubai. Everything is amazing! Their foods are spectacular. Go here almost every friday, best time. Don't to do reservation - always full here. Very much recommended👍👍👍👍👍
I love the place if you are looking for a chill place to hang out with friends. The service is very good. Love the quesadilla and pizza margarita also my passion mojito made by our friendly server Yuli is her name. Come and check the place. 🥂👌🏻 Will probably come back to play billiards. 😂
We book Beach Club from Wynham Hotel, a nice place for kids, they have pool for kids and there was a good shades. Big place, with towel, sunbeds, and you can shower later. There was no shower gel in the bathroom.
Amazing place to chill with family and friends during this summer. Beach & pool access with 5 star food & service. They also have activities for kids like clown, free balloons, face/body paint & inflatable bouncer. This place is absolutely worth it! Definitely coming back soon. 👌🏻

An exclusive Buddha themed fine dining outlet that is perfect for dinner or drinks.
The menu is carefully crafted with a range of pan-Asian dishes: some popular, some unique, all delightful.
Unfortunately, they only serve bottled beer; not draught. But that is a minor detail that won't otherwise take away from a wonderful culinary adventure.

Cool restaurant/beach club! Food was good, great ribs! It’s a nice relaxed vibe and the views amazing. We regretted sitting downstairs too long as the upstairs bar area was really cool! Definitely visit again.
Amazing offers for drunch 7-10pm… ladies nights on Tuesdays… The life of the party from Friday to Sunday for the African night… awesome DJs. Vibe, music, drinks all on check. If you want to dance and have fun this is the club to go.
Delicious food. Special thanks to Afzal for his hospitality.
Excellent and fun place!
We were on the weekend, after 10 pm there are shows in the main hall.
The food is very high quality, the price is according to the quality.
Service at the highest level.
It is highly recommended!

Awesome experience. Especially the bartender sanal was so awesome that he made sure that we got the perfect cocktail. We were in unlimited drinks and 3 course meal combo. Its worth it.
Service was quite slow and the food was average. Happy hours drinks quality was not good at all. We also had drinks after happy hours and they were OK.
Fantastic food and amazing services
You con not go inside from beach. Security will stop you.
Great beach place for young people. If you come here in earlier hours than you can take the chairs and chill until evening. There are lot of bars that even serves alcohol. In addition there is outdoor pool if you had enough of sea water. If you want you can order shisha and smoke it on the beach. Only not so good thing is that you cannot take personal water/food in here and you are forced to buy it in there and the prices are therefore little bit higher.
This is the closest Restaurant to my place so it is my go to place very often during the week. Whether I want a coffee in the morning or a lunch later. Ingredients used in the cuisine are always good quality. Service can sometimes be slow but remains friendly. Outdoor on the deck is Pet friendly which is great. Pizzas are a must try. Salads are good!
hello there!! tonight we came for one lounge dubai! it was the best experience of my time staying in dubai come and enjoy of this beautiful place❤️❤️❤️
My go to place when I want to have a drink in quiet. I love the fact that it is a pet friendly place in JBR.
4 stars only because of how they treated regular customers during world cup.

This is a very nice outing. It is spacious and the food is really good. There is lots of Instagramable corners The huge ducks and flamingo’s adds to the party vibe. DJ was really good. We spend International woman’s day there and the food was less 50% and they had a drinks special- also half price. The only downside- I’d say it’s time they replace the sun lounger’s mattress….
Riva was a pleasant experience. A nice place for girls' day out. Appetizers were good. Beach was not crowded. We went on a Wednesday between 11:30 am - 3 pm. However, Riva needs to improve how customers can connect with them. Their phone is always busy, so no way to find out if they have reached capacity as it is walk-in only.
Nice ambiance and a great place to bring your dog along with you. I didn't have anything to eat but the beer was fresh, and the wait staff were
fantastic.
fantastic.
My experience at Riva Beach Club was fantastic! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious and the ambience was perfect for a day of relaxation. The pool area was great, with plenty of sun beds and umbrellas and the beach was clean and inviting. The cocktails were delicious and the music was a pleasant background to the day. I would highly recommend this beach club and I would definitely visit again.
It was last minute find the ambience for World Cup was lit . Lots of screens made it easy watch and the seating was well placed . The place was so busy and any orders was taking at least an hour which looks to me was massively understaff both in kitchen and in the floor. Fish and chips was delicious , mixed platter was great. Pizza was crisp and yummy .pricing is as decent too.
Really nice sports bar and not only. The food is amazing. This time we tried half meter Hot dog and it was fabulous! Another plates from menu which I can advise are “ appetiser plater” mix of appetisers on one plate , fish and chips - really nice portion of fish , loaded fries !🤤🤤 everyone was super friendly ! Especially the manager Filip! Thank you for amazing evening 💪🏻💪🏻
This place is amazing great food coldest beer in the Emirates a prime location and not crowded which is great for me although for reference it’s 3pm on a Wednesday during the World Cup March is Croatia and Moroco no offense but I bet for the later games it will get busy a tv for every table.
My girl gang and I had an amazing time here for a weekend. We went quiet early and got lucky with the best table. The place got crowded (good crowd) by 12 and we had a wonderful time. There are different bars inside one building, so you can decide what vibe you want and then settle down. 😄
Great place to spend your weekend!! Super fun during the game day!!! The 3 Latina Band has contagious energy! And the host and the DJ are good too. The food is great, service is excellent! Salute to the management of OFFSIDE. This is the place in the Marina/ JBR a must try, highly recommended!
The scenery and the food is amazing. The water is pretty clear. This place is perfect for enjoying a chill day with your friends or taking pictures. Highly recommend!
Lovely private beach.
Very clean and well kept. Each sunbed has location/table qr code attached so once scanned on your phone all you have to do is wait for someone to bring over your order.
Menu is good, nice quality food and drinks. Reasonably priced as well, especially considering this is the Palm Jumeirah.
Really enjoyed relaxing in there and definitely recommend.

It was a comedy stand up night happy to meet some popular comedians from Lebanon India Egypt and UK was a fun night . Decent prices for the drinks the nachos with smoked beef are yum. Only if the lady waitress will Not roll her eyes and show her attitude when she is questioned abt the drinks this place will be much better ! The lady is unprofessional to her costumer. Wish to call other waiter so serve the table but there was only one other guy busy with his tables unfortunately.
Nice
Nice club to hang out. They play good music though a bit congested and a lot of people smoking and no outdoor place for smokers. If affected by smoke stay away from the place. They have a good food menu. Washrooms/bathroom were clean and well maintained. Parking is readily available.
I do not recommend this place. The security guy (white-ish beard) tried to make fun of me, because I could not understood his Arabic.
I do not mind learning Arabic, but making fun of someone because he doesn’t understand a language is something unforgivable.
EDIT : editing my post as per the answer from the moderator claiming I wanted to take my shirt off in the middle of the dance floor : I did not bother myself entering the night club as I refused to do so, because things looked so freaking fishy : that confirms that this night club is full of lies and unhonest staff. The owner should definitely consider changing his staff, unless he’s part of the comedy show.

What an amazing place, found it thanks to some friends. Its got a great ambiance, lovely music....not yo loud just right. Food was great.
This is just one of the few places that allow kids to run around and dogs to accompany you.

The friendliest staff in JBR. Chill vibes with outdoor pool and relaxed music. love that they are dog friendly, I think the only bar in JBR as such
Had a Blast at This Place! I spent a delightful afternoon chilling by the swimming pool, and I must say, it was quite an enjoyable experience.
The staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome right from the start. However, I should mention that the DJ music was quite loud throughout the afternoon. Despite that, I had an absolute blast and had so much fun.
Now, let's talk about the food—it was simply delicious! The menu offered a range of tasty options that didn't break the bank, which was a pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and the overall dining experience.
A big plus for the locker rooms! It was incredibly convenient to have access to clean and well-maintained facilities, including showers and changing rooms. After my time at the club, freshening up was a breeze.
What's more, the location of this place is perfect. After enjoying a relaxing time by the pool, you can take a leisurely stroll in the city, which is a great way to round off the day.

I enjoyed the evening with my brother and best friend
Nice atmosphere
A good lounge in Sadaf JBR. Good selection of food to affordable prices. Even lower cost if you coming during Happy hours. The atmosphere is very simple. I think the restaurant need to put a little more efforts in the interior.
Really laidback place that's great for a drink the team we're very good!
it's a really relax outdoor bar - not much of a view but its great when the weather outside is nice. The team especially, Grace was top notch! you'll never be without a drink in your hand here!

The Back door is a new bar for me, I must say I was very impressed. The music was fantastic and staff so helpful. I must say a big thank you to Grace, as she made the evening with her professionalism and interaction. With staff like her, its what really makes a place come to life.
Thanks Movenpick

Disappointing food and service. I hope it gets much better bcos it has a great view of the Burj Al Arab and a great spot on the beach of Jumeirah Beach Hotel and would be an amazing spot with the right cuisine, quality of food and service.
Really my favorite place in Dubai and deserve to rated even 7 stars. My favorite waitress is Molly from Kenia, she is very polite, exellend Castomer service, service and very friendly and always there for you. Location of the lounge I liked better before renovation but now is still ok, still the same view. Thank you Jumeira Beach Hotel for your hospitality
Open beach bar, beside zero gravity outside seating available can go by walk from Jumeirah Beach Residence JBR
Great food but service was very slow and I do not like their new seating , fake grass. Takes of that real beach feel.
Good location for happy hour small bites. The drinks are good but you may benefit from a double shot because the drinks are pretty conservative. The view and environment are the best features of the live. This is a perfect romantic meet up location for date night.
Overall, the service was good and the food too. We had a relaxing day. The place is pricey but it’s justified by the ambiance! Beach Lounge is a cool spot and serves shisha too along with full bar.
Probably the best place in this part of town to go for a drink and a few nibbles. You are literally at the bottom of Burj Al Arab with your feet in the sand. This is a must-go as or tourist or with friends visiting the country
The only 4 or 5 stars resembling are the prices. The service is similar to any Al Quoz cafeteria. They brought the salad but not cutlery. They don't know also what they are serving. I asked for Agua Panna and they replied if it should be sparkling or plain.
