Most happy hours deals in Dubai start after work, which for most people is – around 5pm, or 6pm. Unfortunately this does not work for me, as that’s ‘dinner-time’ with the kids. For a lot of us who are able to sneak out earlier in the afternoon, an early mid-afternoon drink suits better. That way we can have one or two, and still get home in time to spend the rest of the evening with the family.

So here you go, a little list of early happy hours deals in and around Dubai Marina, which hopefully will be useful to the rest of you as well.
