A Sheikh Zayed Road venue that is popular with flight crew, Zinc has a large central bar, separate dining area and a set of excellent resident DJs. The decor is metallic chic, but the general atmosphere is more down-to-earth than other venues on the strip.

An unabashed crowd-pleaser, Zinc’s residents supply a soundtrack of mainstream chart hits with the occasional inoffensive dance track thrown in. The venue also hosts monthly Laughter Factory comedy nights.

went there for first time few days back.it was not so "wow" experience.Let me tell you one thing! you can get into much much better clubs without any hassle.I wouldn't recommend it but if you want to go,go for once and then stay back.Not the type of club you wanna go on frequent basis.

Well.. there's no point in going to Zinc unless you go on a Monday night. Monday night, is the cabincrew night, people from all nationalities "interacting" with each other, dancing like crazy (though the music hasn't changed in 3 yeas and it would seem that is just the same CD playing over and over again), but if you are looking for a good time, happy people, and convince a cc to buy a few drinks for half price, it might turn out to be quite a fun night in the middle of the working week. Just make sure is a Monday

very Rude bouncers the management needs to remind them they are only door boys. I booked a table under my name and all my friends arrived before me how is it they are all allowed in and when i show up and it becomes hotel guests only. when all 8 of my friends walked out the bouncer said he will make an exception for that 1 time.
none of us will ever be going back there...

Was there Thursday last week for the first time and didn't really like it. Just a standard club. Could be found anywhere in the world and has got nothing special. Service though was surprisingly good and friendly. Music was OK, Drinks are friggin expensive (eg.: 40 AED for a 0.3l bottle of Heinecken, 75 AED for a double Vodka on the Rocks).
Would I go back? - No
