The Sheikh Zayed Road belt of pubs, beer gardens and listening bars. The verified Trade Center bars, our highest-rated first.
Trade Center is old-school Dubai drinking, the Sheikh Zayed Road stretch where the city's longest-running pubs sit a few minutes from its newest speakeasies. The hotels along this spine have kept the bar scene alive for decades, which is why you'll find a Bavarian beer hall, the oldest Irish pub in town and a vinyl listening bar within the same postcode.
The pub side is genuinely good, Double Decker, Fibber Magee's and Ernst Biergarten's Bavarian hall, all built for a long, loud session, while Electric Pawn Shop hides a speakeasy-style listening bar and Esco-Bar brings Latin energy. Nobu's bar high above One Za'abeel covers the glamorous end. Every venue below is a Trade Center room we've confirmed is live, ordered by rating.
Every venue here is live in our index right now. Open one for its full menu, hours and a table.

This is a hotel-and-tower district, so the bars are spread along Sheikh Zayed Road rather than packed onto one strip. Valet or hotel parking is the norm, and the World Trade Centre and Trade Centre metro stops cover the area if you'd rather not drive after a drink.
The pubs run all day and lean into live sports and music, busiest on match nights and weekends. The speakeasies and hotel bars are quieter, more about the room, and a couple run a happy hour earlier in the evening, listed in our Trade Center happy hour guide.
By our live ratings, Andaliman, Fumée and Esco-Bar 25 Jump Street lead, with Yubi Handroll Bar, Nobu One Za'abeel and Double Decker close behind. The ranked list above pulls live from our index, so it reflects what's open and rated now.
Double Decker, Fibber Magee's, Dubai's oldest Irish pub, and Ernst Biergarten's Bavarian beer hall are the classics, all built for a long session with live sports and music. They're walk-in friendly most nights.
Yes. Electric Pawn Shop is a speakeasy-style listening bar with vinyl and Asian-fusion bites, and Nobu's bar high in One Za'abeel brings the polished, view-led end. They're the picks when you want a room over a rowdy pub.
Very. The pubs along Sheikh Zayed Road, Double Decker and Fibber Magee's in particular, screen the big matches and fill up on game nights. Get there early on a major fixture for a seat near a screen.
For the pubs, rarely, except on big match nights. For Nobu's bar and the speakeasies a reservation is worth it at the weekend, when the more intimate rooms fill quickly.
