If you’ve been here long enough – you would, at some point – have been to Buddha-Bar in Grosvenor House Dubai. Did you know that it officially opened its doors in 2005? That’s 21 years. For some cities, this may not be long, but for Dubai – it’s definitely a very impressive run. Over the last few months, this popular Dubai Marina bar has been closed – and a lot of people have been wondering, when will it reopen?
Good news – we’ve got a little update.
A New Chapter : Red Tsuki
Buddha-Bar Dubai officially reopen its doors on Tuesday, 22nd of September 2026.
With the reopening, comes the launch of a new theme, presented under its signature immersive dining experience known as Sakura’s Secret. Introducing : Red Tsuki (aka-tsuki) – a world of mystery, transformation and renewal – built around a single, unifying symbol: the red moon.
What to Expect
Expect live performers, curated visuals, with lighting, costume and choreography all done to bring the season’s theme to life. The new season also brings a focus on Buddha-Bar’s celebrated Pan-Asian menu, featuring Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South-east Asian influences. Don’t worry – they have kept a lot of their signature dishes, including the venue’s famous lobster dumplings, fresh sushi and sashimi, handmade dim sum, and signature flavours. As of right now – there is no minimum spend.
For those thinking of bringing the family for this experience – note that Buddha-Bar welcomes 12 year olds and above in the Dining Area between 7pm to 9pm only. From 9pm onwards, the minimum age is 16 years old. The Bar & Lounges are exclusively for guests 21 years old and above, and the show starts around after 8pm.
Our suggestion? Save it for a date night or a get-together with friends 😉
