Pair four cult-favourite hotspots with one fully amped party bus, and you’ve got the ingredients to Dubai’s next big “if you know, you know” experience. It’s built for brunch loyalists, birthday crews, celebration squads, and anyone who likes to emphasise the “out” in night out.
Stop 1: Papas, Dubai Marina
Your evening opens at Papas, Dubai Marina’s effortlessly cool trattoria, where the vibes are coastal, the plates are generous, and the spritzes flow in perfect golden-hour style. Expect family-style Italian starters, an Aperol spritz (or two), and enough Marina views to make you forget you’re technically still at stop one.
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Stop 2: Asia Asia, Pier 7
Cue the party bus and a playlist upgrade. Stop two lands you at Asia Asia in Pier 7 — that ultra-glam, award-winning Pan-Asian spot that basically invented the Dubai dinner aesthetic. Here, things get a touch more polished with a curated canapé menu, two crafted drinks, and Spice Route flavours served with skyline views that always hit harder in the dark.
Time: 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Stop 3: STK
The night pivots to STK, where the lights are low, the energy high, and the drinks buzzed. Two beverages later, you’ll understand why this spot is a nightlife staple — and why no one ever wants to leave on time.
Time: 10:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Stop 4: Lock, Stock & Barrel
And finally, the grand finale: LSB, aka Dubai’s undisputed party bar heavyweight. With two hours of free-flow drinks, live music, DJs, and the iconic LSB midnight lockdown show, the kind of chaotic-good energy where strangers become instant teammates. If you’re going out with a bang, this is the place to do it.
Time: 11:00 pm – 1:00 am
