Entry rules
The legal drinking age in Dubai is 21. Clubs and bars check an original passport or Emirates ID at the door, and some venues set a higher age. Public drunkenness and drink-driving are offences, so plan a taxi or ride-hail home.
Timing
Bars fill from about 9 PM and clubs from 11 PM. Most venues close around 3 AM; check each venue for its own hours and the after-party options.
Dress code
Smart casual is the minimum for most bars, and clubs are stricter: no sportswear, shorts or flip-flops. Read the nightclub dress code guide before you go.
