This sleek Marina venue follows the blueprint shared by its sister venues worldwide: super-elegant clientele, imposing doormen and pricey drinks. Still, the themed interior decor is well worth a look, though you’ll have to jostle for elbow room at the weekends.

Never again.
Over commercialized place without any soul in it , with under average but ultra expensive food and wines.
Hang the DJ.:-(((

Still my favorite bar for its atmosphere in general, but the chillout/lounge music used to be MUCH better than it is now...the commercial beats give the experience a cheaper feeling...

We where dining on christmasday. The place is very impressive with abeautifull atmospheric decor. The waiters where polite and servicemided. They could be a little more helpfull with picking out the menue or the right wine from the impressive menue. But that's a minor detail. The food itself is good, but not very exiting and slightly overpriced, but also that is minor details the ambiance and nice music make it a very good experience. Afterwards you can go to the bar for some coctails which are extremely well mixed and the waiters make a real show with fire bottles atc. Overal a very good experience, I would definitly return, but because of the price it will probably be for a drink next time!

One of the best in Dubai, although I did spot a couple of low end people in there. I'd prefer going to a place that bars entry to such people.
