Many may argue that Oud Metha’s behemoth club deserved our top title. And perhaps if we were judging simply on the venue alone, the Chi@theLodge would have received top honours. Between the gargantuan Ibiza-esque garden area, all-white hip hop room and drape-tastic VIP area, most can find their musical, and decor, preference.

However, with its rather conservative house/urban/indie music policy – and when it comes down to it, it’s the music that matters – it doesn’t quite carry the mantle of leader of Dubai’s clubbing cutting edge. But then, if their talk of future visits from artists such as Erykah Badu and Dizzee Rascal come off, who knows how things could pan out in ’09?

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.
