Blue Bar easily made it into our list for its true originality – it is Dubai’s one authentic jazz and, obviously, blues bar, showcasing some genuine local talent. But that’s not the only reason to pay a visit. Located on the ground floor of the businesslike Novotel, Blue Bar combines fashionable decor, cigars and an unusually good selection of draught Belgian beers. Just make sure that when you go live music is scheduled.

FYI - I haven't been to too many bars in Dubai. With that being said this is an unpretentious bar (which was a definite plus) with great live music. It's all cover music, but really well done. The crowd is fairly small and intimate and seemingly full of regulars. We actually had a meal here, which was also decent. The smoked salmon appetizer came with what seemed like a pound of salmon. The fish and chips were just okay. The service was more than decent, especially for a bar. Mostly, people come here for the live music and the band does not disappoint - they're really quite talented. A few people danced (awfully), but it was a fun, casual atmosphere, although loud - would not come here to try and have a deep conversation. The band played 3 encore songs to a very enthusiastic audience...some of which where shouting, "Nachos with Cheese." I guess they were hungry.
