Party in a coffee shop? In the middle of the day? Wake up the next day feeling great? Erm, where do we sign up?

ICYMI, cafe culture is *huge* in the region, with new coffee shops popping up on every corner (literally every time we open up our IG feeds we see a new one).

These days, Dubai gals prefer to spend their time in the hottest coffee shop pop-up than a dark bar, and who are we to judge?

What if you could blend the two to create a niche you never knew you needed?

If sippin’ on the smoothest coffee while listening to ultra-cool beats sounds like your vibe, then let us put you onto the next coolest thing to hit the UAE.

The Jazz Club by QC

The deets: This homegrown, Emirati-owned venue is an effortlessly sophisticated jazz club in the UAE capital which just launched. While it may be a drive away for some, this venue has it all with speciality coffee and a curated playlist to match. Plus, they are adding a pizza pop-up soon. 👀

📍 Dusit Thani, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai.

Tasting Notes by Night Jar

The deets: First of all, when Night Jar puts on an event, you just know you have to be there. They also know how to blend beats with coffee, thanks to Saturday night resident DJ Pho. Don’t let the coffee get too cold and keep a lookout for any future events they have.
