These 5 Dubai Bars Will Ignite The Jazz Lover In You

Although we’ll admit, we’ve seen and loved La La Land too. Not just because of the musical score, the chemistry of two onscreen Scorpios (Gosling & Stone) but also the movie’s definition of jazz- its history, beauty and importance.

If you’re a jazz lover then you’ll understand the struggle to find that place in Dubai where you can just sit in a corner, listen to the music and truly feel the vibes.

Here’s a list of 5 spots we’ve searched based on people’s recommendations and word-of-mouth: 

1. Blue Bar, Novotel (DWTC)

Discreet spot, you’ll find this one a secret treasure. With its dim lighting, live acts (best music in town) and happy hour offers. 

2. Nola Eatery and Social House, JLT 

Try their jambalaya, listen to their jazz music (through a speaker) and unwind after work with friends, New Orleans style. You can’t go wrong, that is the birthplace of jazz itself.

3. St. Tropez, Mall of the Emirates

Sounds odd that there’d be a jazzy spot at the mall, right? Well, St. Tropez not only offers classic Hollywood vibes through their interior but St. Tropez has fantastique Wednesday night offers along with live jazz music.

4. The Clavichord Music Lounge, Barsha Heights

A relatively new jazz bar in the ole Tecom. Switch up for a night and try their drinks, snacks and listen to jazz music in the background. With an indoor and outdoor terrace to best fit to your preferences.

5. Frankie’s, Dubai Marina

Italian bar and grill, perfect for a romantic dinner or casual conversations with friends plus an enthralling live band to feast your ears on good jazz songs.
