a leisure guide for families in dubai
If you are looking for a nice chilled spot to take a guest around Downtown Dubai for a drink, consider doing the ladies night offer at Karma Kafe. I remember doing their brunch almost 8 years ago – and it was such good food and so much fun. Returned early November to take a guest […]

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 […]

To add on to the detailed coverage of Nonya, this piece highlights their Afterwork Drinks offer – another way to call what we all know as ‘Happy Hour’ in Dubai. When? If you are feeling a little thirsty on a schoolday, and want to catch up with a friend – pop into Nonya for a […]

There are some experiences that are better explained through images and video – and Koyo is one of them. Having done the Kabuki brunch with friends many weeks beforehand, I was pretty excited to take mum back there for ladies night. We got dressed up on a Wednesday night, jumped into a taxi and got […]

We took the folks over to the Taj one afternoon mid-May to review the newly opened Nonya over dinner. I had found out about the venue on socials ; apparently it had ‘Malaysian and Singaporean influences’. Possibly the first time I’ve seen a fine dining joint specifically mention this in their social blurp. We got […]

On a hunt for ladies night in the marina or JBR – I found a few options and we decided that we will do Lock Stock and Barrel based on logistical reasons. It would have been my first time to LSB, so I was quite excited. Anything new is always fun. And there is always […]

A very quick review of ladies night at Couqley last week. A fellow mum had recommended the ladies night (credit goes entirely to Michelle – thanks!!) – 99 AED for a meal plus unlimited drinks (for a 3 hour seating). So I dropped the venue an email to book and it was all set – […]

Last weekend we drove up to the JW Marriott Marquis to meet a few friends for brunch – this time at the Bridgewater Tavern. It would be our first time there, though we have been to numerous other restaurants in the hotel over the years. Backyard Brunch it was called, and supposedly family-friendly too with […]

I don’t always do a post on ladies nights but I did feel that this one deserved a little write-up of its own. The Croft first opened its doors in 2015. We used to live right opposite the Marriott, and typically I get quite excited about new F&B openings, particularly when it is so close […]

I had completely forgotten about the infamous JBR traffic. As I sat in the taxi on the bridge, the Address Beach Resort towering above – I was thinking to myself – Ladies Night at Bla Bla better be good. Patience running thin, I asked to jump off at the traffic light, and made the rest […]

After a lot of googling and Insta stalking (it’s called research), here’s a listing put together for myself and for many others out there who are wondering where to find live music in Dubai. You are here because you are looking for a casual evening out with your friends, your partner, and you would like […]

I was on the lookout for a ladies night with our friends and started going through my own listing. I wanted something with live music and Google wasn’t very helpful. Incidentally, whilst scrolling through Insta I happened across Khalil’s stories – he was performing at Social Company at Zabeel House the Greens every Tuesday – […]

Tuesday Night. Drinks. A few bites. Good view. Not too far from the marina. Don’t want to spend more than say, 60 AED. Try Folly at Souk Madinat Jumeirah.

We’ve been to Oeno once, and decided to return after a friend recommended it for a nice evening out. They had all these deals happening on a Thursday – and since it was a 3 minute taxi ride from our place (8, if the tram was passing….), we made some plans to meet friends over […]

A ladies night listing put together for those who never really want to venture too far from Dubai Marina – cause really, anything more than a 20 AED taxi ride is too far, right? So set that date with your girlfriends – it’s time you put your hair down, put on a nice dress and […]

With temperature hitting mid-40s and humidity on the high (ugh!), we’ve been on the lookout for more indoor restaurants with play areas – now that the littlest one is also full-on mobile. Happy to see that there is yet another new restaurant not too far away from us in the marina – this time at […]

One of the very few lists I do every year, which I really enjoy putting together. Quite a few people have started asking for it – what ladies nights are still on over Ramadan here in Dubai? It puts a smile to my face thinking that I used to once be in those same shoes […]

As I type, I notice that the red Hideout wristband is still on. My head hurts. Evening brunch at The Hideout was good fun. We used to go to that same location in the Marina Byblos many years ago when it was Societe (click here). Ah… those days, feels like a distant memory now 🙂 […]

My first ladies nights out in a very long time 🙂 I didn’t even realise that China Grill had shut down! I’m sure it wasn’t because of my not-so-nice post of their ladies night there, hee hee (read it here, if you haven’t!) So, it’s been too long since I’ve been to ladies nights (or […]

Yes, I’m still doing this list. Though to be honest it’s been a long time since I’ve been out on a ladies night here in Dubai. Once upon a time, we used to go out every week without fail for a cheeky drink or two on a school night for ladies night. Feels like a […]
