It’s been a long while since we have been to the Observatory at Marriott Harbour. Did you know that they have revamped the entire 52nd floor, and it’s now two parts – one remains Observatory Lounge, and the other – a steakhouse, Prime 52? Observatory has launched a new ladies night offer and we walked […]

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 […]

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 – […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is my little annual special. A list of ladies’ nights that are still on over Ramadan in Dubai, for our friends. It used to be used by myself but things have changed quite a lot in the last two years, with an addition of a new person in our family. I’m still happy to […]

Earlier this year, we were in Jumeirah Beach Hotel for a friend’s birthday do at Uptown Bar. After the get-together, we ended up walking along the shorelines of Jumeirah Beach Hotel and found ourselves at a lounge by the beach, right by the Burj Al Arab. Guess what it was called…… in true matter-of-fact Dubai […]

I saw a post on this, on One Night Only DXB‘s post here early August – gotta go check it out. Always fun to check out new bars in this city over ladies’ night. So we got to St Regis last night around 8pm, through that grand entrance and walked up to – Champagne Lounge. […]

Ooooo, I’m probably going to step on a few toes for this but I’ll write this anyways. Times like this I wish there were more blogs on ladies nights so we could’ve avoided last night. So, we were planning to meet up for a ladies night and I got quite frustrated trying to find a […]

This is one ladies night that a good friend of mine and I have been planning to go for awhile now – Vault, located on the 71st and 72nd floor of the JW Marriott Marquis in Business Bay. G and I have walked through here to ‘have a look’ during our staycation at the Marquis […]

The original post below has been an ongoing collation for a few weeks prior and was done a week ago today, with minor updates. I’m super excited as well to announce that I will now be guest-blogging on Citispi ( click here to check out their website! ) – a team focused on providing all the […]

Few weeks ago I was struggling to find a ladies night spot for Wednesday, so I jumped onto this site and out popped Shades. Ah ha, since when did Shades have a ladies night? 🙂 I emailed them ( as the sceptical person in me does ) to reconfirm, and they repied to say it’s on, woohoo! […]

Found another great ladies night in Dubai – this time, at Tesoro in Taj Dubai, Business Bay 🙂 Many thanks to Bonita for attending to my many emails prior to the night, for getting the balloons tied up, for being patient with us moving from outside to inside back to outside again (because it’s just […]

I’ve been spending sometime planning where to show our cousin (waves to L! 🙂 ) who will be here on Sunday. I’m getting a little big now and it wouldn’t be long before I start feeling a bit shy to enter a bar. Why not take this opportunity to go to the ones that I […]

I thought for a long time how to do this post. Or really, how to carry on blogging, since my write-ups, although focused mainly on deals, revolve predominantly around a party sorta life-style. Boozy brunches, ladies nights, good night-outs, and the occasional exciting adventures around the UAE. So now that I am 21 weeks in, […]

Lots of new ladies nights launching around town, and R had suggested that we check out the one next to our workplace, credits to Shortlist’s recommendations here 🙂 So off we went last night to La Residence in Raffles Hotel – 5 girls, one table, topped with good food, great cocktails, and a pianist with […]

There’s a big difference with attending media invites to bar and restaurant openings, and just going there with friends as a normal customer. When you organise a get-together, you get to see how good a restaurant is – from the way they handle your emails and calls, to when you walk in, how they take […]

(Scroll down for detail on ladies nights at Vii) Just look at that. Tell me where else in Dubai can you find another terrace lounge that looks anything similar, and I’m there 🙂 Few weeks ago we were invited to a media preview of VII, a bar nestled on the 7th floor of the Conrad […]

This is my big thank you to Okku, for taking care of the ten crazy girls last Wednesday, and doing it very well 😉 For a dear friend’s hens, I had dug around online for all the private japanese tatami rooms in Dubai (post to come). We had to ensure that the tatami room was […]

Few weeks ago, I saw a post on FB where one of our friends had gone to check out this new bar at the top of JA Ocean View Hotel. She was raving about it, so I added a mental note to self : Gotta check it out sometime. Luckily enough, Penthouse 25 launched their […]

Found out that GQ had launched their new ladies nights on Wednesdays, with unlimited drinks 6-10pm and 50% off everything in their ala carte menu. Did someone say, unlimited? 😉 I’m in!

March 2016 Update Ladies Night at Pool Bar is no longer on. Please check Grand Hyatt’s website for any updates! ******** Original post Why didn’t anybody ever tell me about Grand Hyatt? Everybody goes on about ladies night deals in the marina and downtown, but you very seldom get chatter of those on the other […]
Read MoreIt’s nice to sit outside on the terrace now in the cool winter months, and it is in Souk Madinat Jumeirah so it’s a really beautiful spot overlooking the waterway, but to be honest….. it’s not at the top of my list as a ladies night spot. The girls who got there early told me the […]

Stables Dubai. Hidden behind Sheikh Zayed Road next to Blue Tower and Crowne. Reminds me of Cock and Bull in Newmarket 🙂 Wooden furniture, laid-back atmosphere. Some place you’ll head over after work for a drink or two or four, if it’s Wednesday 😀 This is how you could plan a great mid-week night out. […]

First time ever to Tolosa Bodega. And we had a good night 🙂 They do ladies nights every Wednesdays, from 6pm onwards. The deal is unlimited red or white sangrias, and white wine. Pretty good for an after work do, which is exactly what we did last night.

After an amazing (birthday) dinner at Atelier M , G and I headed down to Asia Asia to meet up with the rest of the crew. First time, and many thanks to CR for suggesting the spot *waves* Lift door opens onto the 6th floor, to be greeted by 28 golden monks. Don’t panic, they’re […]

Hee hee. To all that came, thanks 🙂 A month ago I was scouting a few places to host my birthday do. Some got back to me but did not quite fit what I was looking for. Yasmine rang me very promptly to explain what they could offer, and after visiting the place the following day, I […]

Photo credits to the lovely CG 🙂 I sent an email on the 25th of January 2013, to the Dubai Marriott Harbour & Suites, asking them if they had any Ladies Night. They had then replied to say unfortunately not, but they do have Happy Hour, which we have been to so many times in the […]

6 girls. 24 drinks. A fat juicy steak each. Bill came to be about 170AED per person, which includes a random selection of delicious sides to share. Hmm, not too bad ay, for a school night 🙂 So I’ve seen this Ruth’s Chris Steak House on my facebook wall for ages now. It’s not too far […]
Read MoreSo the girls was wondering which ladies nights are still on over Ramadan and instead of scrolling through all their facebook pages I’ve decided to gather the info and pop it here for easy reference. These are the ones close to this side of town 🙂 Note that no loud music will be played, so if […]

Not the best photo ay. Sorry! It’s actually a really beautiful beach bar, and I love the hotel. Makes me feel like I’m back in South East Asia again 🙂 Definitely in our “to-stay” list! So last night we thought we’ll check out the new ladies night, “Sparkle in the Sand.” Saw Ah Lan’s post […]

Haha crazy bloggin’ ay. Love exploring new spots, especially with M here! I remember checking out Senyar Bar a year ago when they had Ladies Night there. I think it’s shut now. Replaced by El Sur ? Mental note : Add to to-go list. So Oeno’s resumed its Ladies nigh aka Goddess Night – on […]

What’s on magazine had a little write-up on a new ladies night close to home. Since M’s here, thought why not check it out with her 🙂 So when you get in through the main entrance of Media One, turn left and keep walking. You’ll hit the other set of lifts and as you’re looking […]

I would like to apologize in advance for the quality of these photos. I took G’s camera out tonight in hope to take better photos than using my S3. Me + G’s camera – G = not-so-good photos 🙁 So I had been looking forward to Ladies Night at Ba, after doing a lil walkaround […]

Looks like we’ve found ourselves another Ladies Night on Wednesdays! 🙂 3 of us girls went to Movenpick Hotel JBR on The Walk few nights ago. It’s been a few months since I’ve been there – brunch at The Talk, and random drinks at Chinwaggery in March. They’ve just finished up with renovations and it’s really […]
Read MoreTues night was Pure Sky’s “Think Pink Ladies Night” hosted by Lipsy. Note that it’s not in the main Hilton Hotel building, but where the residences are i.e entrance is next to Tim Horton’s. R and I went, dragged G along (who wanted to go home 2 seconds upon stepping in because there was no […]
Read More(Sorry I couldn’t find a photo that didn’t have #mrmustard1 in it 😉 ) Last Thursday the bunch of us ventured down to DIFC for a night out. It was G and I’s first time to a bar in DIFC (and no, we’ve never even been to Zuma!). We got to Capital Gate and managed […]

Can’t believe we live so close but the first time that I went up there was just a few weeks ago! Was there again last night, and the night before. Hehehe. Absolutely packed. Thanks to the very sweet Vivian (a guy!) who attended to us and kept me happy with glasses of Malbec. Observatory provides […]

We’ve found good live acoustic. Finally! Amazing voice. Amazing music. Vodka mixers for the ladies for 5 DHS each (we couldn’t taste any vodka in our cranberry vodka but hey, it’s better than paying 45 DHS in a bar with bad music !).

I was going to start blogging on our little experience last night and started googling ‘Giannino Meydan Beach Club’, and found Foodiva‘s site as the top hit. Clicked on it and started going through the many posts, which had grown from Giannino Milan’s response to her blog. Goodness gracious, hadn’t realize that chefs would […]
Read MoreWe were wandering around Mall of the Emirates on Sunday night after a yummy (but super greasy) feast at KFC. Brought our guests to the Ski viewing area, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cute little penguins. Felt like a drink and then I remembered, it’s Sunday night and there’s ladies night at Apres! […]
Read MoreShort one. Didn’t realize how cold it still can be, mid-March! We asked the lady if they could turn the heaters on but they said ‘It doesn’t work, with the wind,’ – lol. Maybe it’ll operate during the calm summer nights? So Lipsy hosted the ladies night last night at Tamanya Terrace. Girls get 3 […]

2014 Update – Venue no longer does ladies night – check out their website for deal updates 🙂
Read MoreDon’t drink too much of that pink stuff. It gives you the worst hangover ever the next day. We brought some guests from Singapore there on Thursday night to “check out Dubai nightlife”. It was busy as hell, music was so loud and crowded with expats. Quite different to the last time that we were […]

Updated post, 13th March 2015 Been two years since I’ve been back to Dek on 8 for their ladies night. Wasn’t the best experience back then to be honest (read review below), but I’m glad I gave it a second chance 😉 So last Wednesday, after one drink (Ps – not the best white wine, […]

Isn’t it nice when you find another new bar in town that you like? 🙂 Well last night we thought we’ll venture out a bit further (than the Marina, lol), since we had a guest. Rang up Jumeirah groups to double check and yes, Bahri Bar does ladies nights on Tuesdays between 8-11pm. When you […]

Us girls have been here probably more than 10x now, since I’ve moved here. That’s gotta say something for itself 🙂 Over summer we’ve always contemplated trying a different Ladies Night. Timeout Magazine lists a few. But the thing is – it’s always so much easier/better just to go to Embassy because It’s a 10DHS […]
Read MoreSeptember 2014 Update – Senyar Bar no longer exists, haha
Read MoreAnother nice little mid-week outing 🙂 We had planned to check out Z-One before heading over to The Med, as it was Ladies Night on Tuesdays. Girls get 4 tokens, 2 for house white/red, and another 2 for selected cocktails. You drop your name in and if lucky (aren’t we all), you’ll get a Lush […]
Read MoreI’m actually just doing this post to remind myself that there’s a Ladies Night at Left Bank every Wednesday’s. I find it annoying sometimes when we’re out and about and want to go for a Ladies Night drink – google on our phones, and find it so hard to find anything. I’m hoping that I’ll […]

Not too much to say. Not too much to say when you come home sticky and you’re glad your apartment’s fully air-conditioned. Haha. It’s nothing to do with the bar, it’s just the bloody Dubai “spring” going on summer weather 🙁 So again, my apologies to The Terrace because this review is super biased. Had […]
Read MoreI apologize for the terrible photos. None of us brought a camera that night. Had to test the camera quality of the new HTC One V. Hmm, not super great for night-shots ay :/ Apologies to Blends, but hang on – I’ve good things to say about this place 🙂 And so just when you […]
Read MoreOkay guys, A double Jack Daniels & Coke, on a Tuesday night at Embassy bar is going to cost you AED100. That’s NZD33, or 16pounds. But hey, factor in the number of hot girls in that bar in cocktail dresses, high heels, make up and hair all done, the view from the 43rd floor of […]

I don’t get it. Free food, free drinks. Top floor of a beautiful hotel overlooking Dubai skyline. Good music. How does it work??
Read MoreThis one’s probably for JY, hehe! And so I went there tonight with a new-found friend. Really nice bar actually – again the crowd is mostly men and a few nice-looking women, haha. Reminds me a bit of a high-end Cock and Bull, except it was completely packed tonight… probably because it was Ladies Night, […]
Read MoreWent to check out the bar downstairs tonight, as they had a 2 free drinks for girls every Monday night, lol. At first I thought there was a catch. “There’s no such thing as free drinks” In Auckland I used to get the free drink txts for new drinks that were being promoted and that […]
