It may not be at the top of a high-rise tower, but this cool lounge and restaurant is worth a visit for the view of Dubai Marina alone. That said, don’t be surprised if you find the queue at the bar to be at least seven deep on Thursdays and Fridays, and table service a little stretched as the night wears on.

It was a great ladies night...one of the best in Dubai for the matter of fact. there was a retro Dj spinning chill out house music and the cool breeze just kept us at the terrace for longer...must try!!

It was our first time at the Lounge yesterday and the crowd was great and I guessed is was because of the music and smooth service...most importantly the cheap beverage offerings!!

The DJ that performed on Thursday is outstanding as compared to most places as he spins 60's to 80's....keep it up!!! Drinks are cheap as well....

Any bar that puts fakes reviews online deserves to be downrated.

This place is OK, but its glory days as a happening spot are long gone. Now, like many venues, it's struggling for survival.

If you like motorboats (vs. sailboats), you can look out at them. Worth it? Not for everyone.
