Chi@The Lodge

Vast club with multiple rooms and regular big name DJs 22 Reviews

© ITP Images

Once a dilapidated meat-market of a club, The Lodge was overhauled in early 2007, transmogrifying itself into a plush and incredibly spacious four-roomed venue.

The gargantuan garden area is hugely popular during winter months and benefits from an adventurous booking policy.

Inside there’s an all-white room that hosts hip hop, funk and soul while the lavish VIP area is home to champagne-wielding celebrities – ex-boxer Chris Eubank is a regular.

Make sure you get down early though as the queues can be horrendous.

Best Club in Dubai Bar HANDS DOWN!

I never expected something like this in a city like Dubai (Originally from Vancouver, BC) - I felt like I was in Miami or Ibiza or something - the various different clubs and ofcourse who can forget the outdoor venue outside - major party place this one and was delighted to be here! Chi is definitely one of the best clubs in the world. Good job dubai!

Id agree with Chi being a great place to spend my weekends - if it wasnt for the Cheesy RnB section with its own version of 50 Cent - Snoop and basically the whole G Unit look alike- wannabes that lurk there with their eye-blinding Bling Bling ready to do some stalking.
but i do love the outside venue. Great Music with people who just want to have a good time.

By far the best club in Dubai with something for everyone, all in one place. Having the opportunity to venture in and out of different rooms showcasing various genres of music and live acts is most appealing and when busy enough (with the garden open) mainly on weekends, the atmosphere outside is great.

The music policy is mainly kept upfront thus appealling to anyone musically switched on and in touch with both UK & US scenes.

A weekend visit will give you the complete Chi experience and you won't be disappointed.
