Dubai Nightlife Tips by SWFC_Fan

Nightlife Spot: Vu's Bar, Emirates Towers

Ok, you're paying for the view - but what a view it is!!

Vu's Bar is on the 51st floor of the smaller of the two Emirates Towers and provides a setting in which you can enjoy a drink while overlooking Dubai.

Situated in the triangular part at the top of the tower, and with large glass windows looking out over Sheikh Zayed Road towards the sea, Vu's Bar is a great place for an early evening beer.

The bar (and Vu's Restaurant on the 50th floor) are reached via a glass-fronted lift that also affords great views over Dubai. If you don't like the sound of that, there's a conventional lift (ie that you can't see out of!) which will also take you up there. In fact, the glass fronted lift only goes as high as the 40th floor, so you'll have to change to the other lift at that point anyway.

Prices are pretty steep:

330ml bottles of imported beer cost 29 Dirhams (approx 5GBP / 7.50 Euros), as does Stella Artois on draft (the only draft beer). Still less than you'd pay in some parts of Scandinavia!

The cheapest wine costs 27 Dirhams a glass, while soft drinks can be had for a relatively modest 12 Dirhams (2GBP / 3 Euros).

When you order a drink you do get an impressive assortment of free nibbles (little cheese biscuits and various nuts).
