On the lookout for a swish new bar? How about nine? That’s exactly how many strikingly fresh places to wet your beak are about to open at Papa Dubai, and it looks pretty incredible.
Dubbed a village (and it’s hard to argue), the sensational new drinking and dining destination will open its doors at V Hotel Dubai in Al Habtoor City this Thursday November 25.
Time Out Dubai has taken an exclusive first look at this big new addition to Dubai’s nightlife scene.
And if these snaps don’t pique your interest, you may need your noggin checked.
With all the makings of a one-stop hangout, Papa Dubai has seemingly squashed the need to taxi from one bar to another to complete your evening crawl.
Making up the bill at Papa Dubai are a chic lounge, international restaurant and more concepts than you could shake a mocktail at.
Each is centred around a particular drink, including juniper-based beverages, malt beverages and Japanese rice-based beverages, and seek to immerse guests in the culture of the country from which the drink originates.
Think of it as an around the world tour without the air miles.
The venue brings together a fusion of innovative mixed drinks, worldly food and hand-selected music by its internationally-renowned resident DJs (each Thursday evening).
The concept has been imported to Dubai from its ridiculously popular inaugural Moscow location.
Expect theatrical, Insta-worthy mixed drinks aplenty. Equipped with its very own mixology lab, Papa Dubai will host some of the world’s top bartenders, who will quite likely be in town very soon to flaunt their skills.
Open daily Mon-Sat 6pm-3pm. V Hotel, Al Habtoor City, Sheikh Zayed Road, thevhoteldubai.com (052 203 3434).
