WHERE TO TAKE YOUR FRIENDS FOR A GLASS OR TWO (OR THREE) OF GRAPE IN DUBAI ...

Salero, Kempinski Hotel, Mall of Emirates

Uptown, Jumeirah Beach Hotel


Dubai is an expensive place. Whether you're living here or just visiting, your money never seems to go as far as you'd like. Hosting guests is a great way to make their holiday expense a little cheaper, allowing more to be spent on enjoying Dubai's many sights, restaurants and activities ... but remember, even hosting can end up breaking the bank, especially when accompanying guests to whichever fancy pants restaurant they cant wait to explore!!

Every expat in Dubai knows how much of a God send happy hours and entertainer vouchers can be when you are eating and drinking out every night. Lets face it, we expats don't want to miss out on an opportunity to join in the holiday fun.


Below are some of my favourite happy hour/drink offers. The ladies night on the list are great spots with chilled vibes to catch up with your girl friends without having to shout above the DJ if you know what I mean....(OH, and just to be clear... men are most welcome to ladies nights but no free drinks unfortunately!)

Dont throw your toys out just yet, heres a ManDay special;
ManDays@ Salero (Spanish Tapas bar) Kempinski Hotel, Mall of Emirates (Mondays 8-11PM)(2 free drinks (beer/wine) for men and 30% off selected food dishes.)
