FAQ

How Dubai
nights work.

Everything people ask us about going out in Dubai. Brunches, tables, guest lists, dress codes and planning your nights. If it's not here, just ask.

What are the best brunches in Dubai right now?

+

The weekly headliners we stand behind: Summer Reunion at Surf Club on Fridays (brunch 6–9PM into a party till 2AM), Multi Award-Winning Sundown Brunch at The Theater on Saturdays (3–8PM). Both are party brunches — food, drinks and a full production that builds through the afternoon. See this week's board for what's on.

What's on in Dubai tonight and this week?

+

This Week's board is updated weekly with every event we run and rate, day by day. Plus tables at 40+ venues every night of the week. The board automatically flags what's on today.

How do I book a table at a club or beach club in Dubai?

+

Through the booking page — pick the event or venue, choose your date, tell us how many of you. The request lands with us directly by email and WhatsApp and we confirm personally. No apps, no ticketing runaround.

How much does a table cost in Dubai?

+

Most Dubai venues work on a minimum spend rather than a table fee — you commit to spending a set amount on food and drinks. It varies a lot by venue, night and table position: from a few hundred dirhams per person at brunches to significantly more at flagship clubs on peak nights.

Tell us your group size and budget in the booking form notes and we'll place you right.

Do Dubai clubs have dress codes?

+

Yes — smart-casual is the baseline almost everywhere at night: no sportswear, flip-flops or shorts for men in clubs. Beach and pool venues are relaxed during the day and dress up after sunset. When in doubt, dress up — this is a city that makes an effort.

Which nights are ladies' nights in Dubai?

+

Ladies' nights run across the whole week, with Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays the busiest. CLIQUE at FIVE Palm's Social Pool on Wednesdays is a ladies' day, and many venues we work with run complimentary drinks or packages — ask us for the best one for your night.

Where are the best nightlife areas in Dubai?

+

DIFC for polished dinner-into-party rooms (Raspoutine, La Niña, The Guild). Palm Jumeirah & J1 Beach for beach clubs and party hotels (FIVE Palm, Bâoli, Sirene). Sheikh Zayed Road hotels for big-format venues (The Theater, Bagatelle, BLU at Al Habtoor City). Palm West Beach for beachfront energy like Surf Club. The full list is on the venues board.

Do I need a guest list to get into Dubai clubs?

+

Not always, but it helps. Walk-ins can be turned away on busy nights, especially for groups of men. A guest-list spot or a table booked through someone the venue knows makes entry smooth. That's exactly what we do. Message us before your night out and we'll let you know each venue's door policy.

What time does nightlife start and finish in Dubai?

+

Dubai runs long. Party brunches start in the afternoon (2–3PM on weekends), dinner-party venues peak from 9PM onwards, and clubs are open until 4AM. The city moves day-to-night. Start at a beach club at noon, finish at a club late into the morning.

I'm visiting Dubai — how do I plan my nights?

+

Use the trip planner — enter your arrival and departure dates and it maps every night of your stay against the week's best events, then sends the whole plan to us on WhatsApp so every booking is handled before you land.

Is Join Dubai free to use?

+

Yes. Booking through Join Dubai costs you nothing extra—you pay the venue as normal. We only partner with brands, venues and experiences that reflect what Dubai is all about, so if it's here, it's something we'd happily recommend ourselves.

What is Join Dubai?

+

A community-driven guide to experiencing Dubai. The events we create and programme, recommended venues we genuinely believe in, and personal table bookings across 40+ of the city's best venues. Dubai isn't just somewhere you visit. It's a city you become part of.
