360°

Fashionable Jumeirah Beach Hotel lounge bar with stunning views 5 Reviews

There can’t be many bars in the world like 360°. Set at the end of its very own pier, the heli-pad shaped outdoor space boasts panoramic views of Dubai’s coastline, the Burj al Arab’s light show and vivid sunsets over the Arabian Ocean. During the week, it’s all about the shisha, comfy seats and laidback tunes. Come Friday night, however, and it’s transformed into a hedonistic, electronic playground with local and international talent.

The superbly showy crowd arrives in two waves: the first at 5pm for sundowners, followed by the after-8pms, who come and don’t leave until they’re forced out at 2am. A must for tourists and residents alike – just be sure to get your name on the guestlist at the weekends, and remember to pack a fat wallet.

Very poor service. The drinks are very weak. And very expensive.

They have a reservation policy so I rang the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and they gave me a mobile number to call. The mobile was always switched off or when I rang later nobody answered it or called back.

So the question is how do we ever get to experience these places and waste our money on their over priced drinks if we cant make a reservation? Why is that when you go to these places your told it is at capacity but how did everyone else get in there? Do they have 'the real' mobile number to get on the guest list?

I suggest no mobile phone numbers and that the hotels should be responsible for taking the bookings.

360 has the view... and that view doesn't come cheap as you'll soon discover once you get the drinks in. Service could indeed be better but why not just grab a drink yourself, kick back and take it all in... have a look around you... it doesn't get much better than this.

Overly (and annoyingly sometimes) populated with many of Dubai's pretentious party people on the weekends, I'd suggest a visit during the week for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

An 'eclectic' mix of House and chilled out beats all week make this outdoor bar a great place to check in on from time to time, perhaps more so when the weather's nice. 360 best described In one word... cool.

Fantastic setting, but the service is dreadful and very slow while the drinks are consistently the weakest I’ve had in the city.
