Yes, the main hotel bar lets you sit and watch the sunset and so fo a few others.
You might also like the Irish Village if you like Irish pubs but don't value service. :-)

Longs Bar at the Rotana Towers isn't too bad.
Trader Vics at Crowne Plaze is nice for a drink and some food.

Welcome to Dubai Rammie! I've been in Dubai for 2 years and visited Uptown for the first time yesterday. I loved it! They play the most wonderful jazz music, have divine champagne cocktails and a gorgeous view! Outside seating too. Do give it a try.
