4 of the best bars in Dubai to check out this weekend: August 1 to 3
It's August in Dubai, which means it's time to hide indoors from the heat and ideally somewhere high up with a cocktail in hand. While open-air terraces take a summer break, the city's bars and rooftops aren't going anywhere. Here are some of the best bars in Dubai to keep you cool while it's 49°C outside. Studio Frantzén If you can't wait for the weekend and need a Happy Hour to kick things off, head to Studio Frantzén, the Michelin-selected modern European bistro by chef Björn Frantzén. Sip on classic cocktails like a Negroni, Tommy's Margarita, or Lychee Martini, and pair them with standout bar bites, from veal tartare toast and wagyu sliders to crispy potatoes with vendance roe.

It's a spot for those who appreciate detail in their drink, their setting, and their night.
