Since opening in 2010 it's become one of Dubai most beloved outdoor bars with pristine beachfront location at One&Only Royal Mirage. A sprawling cabana-style complex of whitewashed architecture enwraps a series of indoor/outdoor lounges and terrace offering well-heeled locals a Saint Tropez-style bar scene frequented by some of the town's most well connected singles. The space mixes elements of Moorish design with stark white Italian decor with skyline and water view on either horizon. By day, the bar attracts more of a hotel scene that clusters as close to the beach as possible while enjoying bottles of Rose` and tapas-style menu of Mediterranean mezza platters, quiches salads and sandwiches. By late afternoon, the crowd shifts to a more-local scene of dressier Dubai professionals with loosened ties and dapper suits that linger later for the nightlife scene that develops through 1am.
