What are some good clubs to go to here in Dubai. The type of music they have and what not. Also, what are the door prices and the age requirments here for clubbing and drinking?

21 and above in most clubs...but i am guessing people do sneak in with fake IDs...and now a days very difficult to tell if you are 18 or 25...kids are SUPERSIZE me now a days...then again some 30 year olds i know get carded...go figure...
good night clubs in dubai

TRILOGY(good decor, door policy mixed couples,good atmosphere, good acts, but as with everything in dubai a bit of a poser place)
APPARTMENT - lounge and club(never been yet but heard its quite good)
ZINC (looks like a local coffee shop, band is too loud, drinks are ok if yer buying a bottle set you back about 500, door policy bit more tighter than trilogy, but the air crew nights more than make up for all of the above)
IBO - door policy ok, but be prepared to wait behind a big Q on special nights, best music so far, bit more old school and run down than trilogy, but makes up for being less pretentious and snooty
been to BOUDOIR , liked the decor, liked the crowd, Door policy same as everywhere else...no honey no entry...
The PEPPERMINT Club - puts on great acts...but never been there...heard massively overcrowded...and i am TOO old for fighting to get drinks and all...
JAMBASE- great jazz live music place...great for dinner and romantic dates...and for MILF hunting...
then there are the pubs...like scarlets / rockbottoms/waxys/aussie legends/cyclone/...blah blah...can't be bothered to list them...all of them are the same...except when it comes to friday brunches...

hope that helps..now work on getting that fake ID... :wink:

Apartments - Fridays = killa hip hop and R&B.
Zinc - RIP
Peppermint - Agree with the good acts but not massively overcrowded at all.

I've read in places that the rules are that you have to be 21 to drink, 25 to get into a nightclub, but by law you cannot be denied entry or something along those lines?

Anyone who's between 21-24 clarify this? Have you been into a club/clubs?

Ohhh I miss Dubai clubbing..so much more fun than in the states. I really like Trilogy and the Apartment...When I was living there last year I was 20, but never had any problem getting in anywhere EXCEPT Boudiour...that damn desi bouncer always gave me trouble. He was the only one I ever had issues with. I used to use a friend's old ID and she didn't even look a THING like me when I was asked for one...but like 99% of the time I was let in. In response to your question above, you just have to be 21 period to get in and drink (unless it has changed in the past couple of months?)
