Clubbing in Dubai


Sunray Sad to hear and read about some clubs/pubs that restrict single guy or girl to enter. Meaning you need to look for a partner in order to enter... is this true..?
sage & onion You should be a little more specific, name of club? constantine depends...but yes most places do have a mixed group policies or couple policies...as clubs here try to even out the ratio of men:women...otherwise it might end up like a suasage fest with no girls in sight...also to avoid the hassle of guys fighting over the single attractive girl in the house...who everyone tends to forget, already has a boyfriend in tow...its quite hilarious and a bit pathetic if you think about it...and also some clubs' policies are a bit borderline racist(though they will deny this to your face) towards certain nationalities...such as indian, southeast asians...you would be given a lame excuse by the bouncer at the door...why do we still go to clubs like this i still wonder...not being bitter here or hypocritical...as i have yet to be refused entry...but it happens and is very commonplace...added to that the clubs over charge you...where as clubs all over the world charge you a cover, which includes a couple of free drinks at the least...on the plus side(yes there is one), the acts in here are getting better, and big names are making an appearance on a regular basis now...but policies and the bull$hit needs to disspear along with the gorrilla brained management and thier muppet bouncers :wink: sage & onion
Sounds like a circus out there, not being one for clubs I cant say that I have experienced any of it, thankfully :lol: constantine

errrmm ... how? :lol: :lol:
J constantine perhaps use the neanderthal meaning of "clubbing" perhaps... :lol: FeiPo There is no such thing as couples only. They only use it as an excuse not to let YOU in the club. They are trying to control the crowd by stopping people at the door. Sadly a lot of the places will not let you in because of your race. Chocoholic Er not true FeiPo, my boyfriend and his mate went to IBO last Thursday and they're as white as white can be and they wouldn't let them in because it was 2 guys. If they didn't make it even as has already been said, all the clubs would just be full of guys, don't forget guys way out number women in Dubai. Corcovado
Lol :lol: :lol: :lol: sage & onion
I am actually glad I don't go night clubbing, it would only get me in trouble, standing up for the underdog so to speak. 8)
constantine its overrated and a bit of a let down...for me personally because it ends at 3 AM...whats the point...if you are having a weekend out...might as well see the sunrise... 8) ...and walk on the beach...ahem mind you over here...they might think you're a lunatic...hahaha sage & onion
At this time of year I would agree :lol: :lol: Chocoholic Well for some bizarre reason people in Dubai find it unacceptable to actually get to a club before 12.30am, so what do you expect? If they got their arses there earlier, then they'd have a longer night out. FeiPo That is mostly ture... I am in the industry and some of my friends are working in the clubs. They do that because of they are trying to control the number of people and the type (colour) of people. That's why it happen normally on the weekend only. I think when your friends were trying to get in, the club was almost full... or the bouncer didn't like them!! of it was already too many male inside the club Chocoholic That's what I meant, there were already too many guys. I work in the industry too, but there are also other reasons and that's because certain people are perceived as more big spenders, than others. Clubs and bars will favour people who will put money behind the bar, as opposed to a group of guys who will share a bottle of water. Sad that these preconceptions exist, but they do. sage & onion
You mean groups of guys go to a night club and share a bottle of water, which kind of guys??? constantine
i meant sunrise...not noon :P FeiPo I agree. I have seen those nationalities that you were talking about. They are ANNOYING!!!! They would order 3 coffee and a bottle of water with 10 people and sitting in a bar to watch the sport game for whole days. Not only that, they will keep asking for free peanuts as well!! I have also seen a table of 8 people in a restaurant, order 3 salads n water, keep asking for free breads !!!! Chocoholic Certain nationalities, which clubs are normal biased towards. They're not all like that, but that's certainly what many club managers think, and you can't blame the door staff as they're only acting on instructions from management. It's either that of the 'certain' guys who do nothing but stand around letching at the girls on the dance floor all night. And don't tell me it doesn't happen I've seen both of the above on regular occassions. Many people forget that clubs and bars are businesses, they'll always favour clientele who will put money behind the bars, that's why they love the Lebanese, more money than sense, there are guys who'll think nothing or booking tables at 7,000Dhs a pop or order several bottle of champagne, just to impress. MaaaD i dont go to clubs .. i only go to discos FeiPo
what is the different between clubs and discos? Chocoholic FeiP's you're clearly not old enough to know, Maaad is just showing his age. Watch out or he'll be swinging his pants all over the place and throwing some rather nasty shapes. constantine
disco = only MAAD decked out in bellbottoms doing the boogie wooogie with girls of a dubious nature wearing lycra tight pants... FeiPo
OK so OLD people call night clubs 'Discos' <---- I get it now! constantine i think my definition of disco is betta!!! :P Chocoholic
Exactly :D MaaaD Its the time to disco !!!
bushra21 i want to go to the disco :oops: someone take me with you! FeiPo
:shock: :shock: :shock: just tell me where are you and your friends normally go, and we young gals will try to go else where !!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Chocoholic Hmmmm nice! Old Skool throwback. Corcovado \
Aaaah Lebanese people ,can't live with them ,can't live without them 8) 8) 8) constantine
saturday night fever nostalgia coming on i feel... JackTheRipper
:rr: Last night a DJ saved my life :rr: Chocoholic OMG - Here we go! yorky500 ha ha ha ha staying alive, staying alive YMCA come on sing along, you know the words! hahahahahaha JackTheRipper I'm a scatman ! Ske-be-le-bo-bep-bop-balam-bom Princess Banana Hammock Has it the post subject changed to Karaoke forum!?! I LOVE IT!!!! liverpool4ever Well clubbing in Dubai is overrated. It's true that we have some of the best DJs in the world spinning here every week but the night scene still has a looong way to go. I get pissed off at clubs with the couples only policy, when one manages to get in they'd find that 75% of the people in the club are guys! Also, I am a huge house music fan, so the best club for me for that is Peppermint (Deep is equally good sometimes but I prefer Peppermint), I've heard all sorts of excuses by their door staff, couples only, IDs (I am under age but I usually manage get in to clubs because I look WAY older than 21), etc. the last (Which was by far the worst I heard) was that only regulars were let in, those idiots!! How can I be an idiot if you keep on rejecting me @ the bloody door for all sorts of stupid reasons!! Also, 3 A.M.? That is a joke, what's even worse is that the international djs used to spinning 4+ hour sets spin for 2 - 3 hours max, they probably feel as if they're spinning to school kids rather than clubbers! Agree with Choco on the Lebanese... For some reason they love to show off :S 175bpm
well said omar
i wish dubai had a harder dance scene when i was there
