The skyline of Dubai is even more beautiful if you have something to drink in your hands, and the best rooftop bars in Dubai can show you that. These nine places, located around Downtown Dubai, Marina and Palm Jumeirah, are what we recommend you to spend your time and money on. Everything below, including prices and floor numbers, is checked and current.
Best Rooftop Bars in Downtown Dubai
1. CÉ LA VI Dubai
On the 54th floor of the Address Sky View, you’ll get the chance to look straight into the Burj Khalifa, unlike other rooftops which will require you to crane your head. That alone explains why this is the rooftop everybody prefers to have at their first visit to Dubai. They specialise in modern Asian cuisine, have an impressive cocktail menu and offer a daily Sky High Aperitivo, making evenings easier to enjoy.
Location: Level 54, Tower 2, Address Sky View Hotel, Downtown Dubai
Starting Price: AED 140 – 180+
Opening Hours: 12:00 PM – 3:00 AM
Contact Number: +9714582 6111
2. Treehouse
The roof of Taj Dubai has two decks, and getting it right will make the night or break it. The upstairs deck houses the main bar and the DJ's space. The downstairs deck is lushly landscaped, and the Burj Khalifa remains right in front of you. Get the small Mediterranean Asian plates rather than using this place just for the drinks. In terms of a slow-paced rooftop bar experience Downtown Dubai has to offer, the Treehouse tops everyone else.
Location: Taj Dubai, Business Bay, Dubai
Starting Price: AED 100 – 400 per person
Opening Hours: Daily, 6:00 PM – 1:00 AM
Contact Number: +971588272763
Best Rooftop Bars in Dubai Marina
3. Siddharta Lounge by Buddha Bar
Sitting on Grosvenor House Dubai's rooftop, Siddharta pulls a slightly older, more industry crowd than the influencer-heavy spots nearby, and that's exactly its appeal. The Coastal Mediterranean and Asian menu is worth ordering properly, not just grazing on bar snacks, and the shisha selection holds up against dedicated shisha lounges.
Location: Grosvenor House Dubai, Tower 2, Al Emreef Street, Dubai Marina, Dubai
Starting Price: AED 80 – 150+
Opening Hours: Sunday – Thursday, 5:00 PM – 2:00 AM | Friday – Saturday, 5:00 PM – 3:00 AM
Contact Number:+971506011194
4. Atelier M
Atelier M takes the top three floors of Pier 7, right next to Marina Mall, mixing an Art Deco indoor lounge with an open-air rooftop terrace looking straight over the water. The Mediterranean menu carries Japanese touches that make it more interesting than the average Marina bar food. Skip Saturday if you want a table without a wait; Tuesday's Ladies Night is the real insider move here, quieter than the weekend but with the same DJ quality. Happy hour runs Monday to Friday from 5 to 8pm, and it's genuinely generous for a Marina rooftop.
Location: Floor 7/7M, Pier 7, next to Marina Mall, Dubai Marina, Dubai
Starting Price: AED 80 – 150+
Opening Hours: 5:00 PM – 2:00 AM
Contact Number: +97144507766
5. Attiko
Attiko on the 31st floor of W Dubai Mina Seyahi is the rooftop that everybody is talking about in Dubai right now, and it deserves all the hype it gets. The format for the social supper club is based on Asian clubs rather than the conventional sundowner format, and the Pan-Asian menu and the bar programme created by Andrii Knapik, mixologist, is good enough to get you excited even without the drinks. The special thing about Attiko is the seamless transition between sunset cocktails and late-night clubbing atmosphere.
Location: 31st Floor, W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, Dubai Marina
Price Starting: AED 150 per person
Opening Time: 5:00 PM
Contact Number: +97143509983
Best Rooftop Bars on Palm Jumeirah
6. SoBe
SoBe faces directly west into open water instead of into the city, which means you get real, uninterrupted sunset colour rather than a building blocking the last twenty minutes of light. The Latin American menu and the resident mixologists back up the view, and the 5th floor terrace is adults only, which keeps the evening firmly grown up. Sunday to Friday Happy Hour makes it easy to arrive early and stay through dark.
Location: Rooftop, W Dubai – The Palm, West Crescent, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Price Starting: AED 150 per person
Open Time: Daily from 5:00 PM
Contact Number: +97143509983
7. The Penthouse
The Penthouse has held the number one spot for rooftop lounges in the Middle East for three years. The two glass lined pools look spectacular in photos but are more decorative than functional; this is a bar and a scene first. The contemporary Japanese menu, built with French technique, is better than most people expect from a nightclub adjacent rooftop. Among rooftop lounges Dubai keeps adding every year, this 16th floor terrace still sets the pace for how a scene focused rooftop should feel.
Location: 16th Floor, FIVE Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Starting Price: Mid-range fine dining
Opening Hours: 5:00 PM – 4:00 AM
Contact Number: +971529004868 +97143509983
For the Highest Dubai Skyline Bars
8. Level 43 Sky Lounge
Level 43 is located on the 43rd floor of Four Points by Sheraton which is 155 meters high, offering 360-degree views which most upscale sky bars do not provide. You get to see Burj Khalifa and the Marina from one and the same terrace. Highly Commended as Favourite Rooftop Restaurant at the What's On Dubai Awards 2026. It is also the hidden gem of those seeking an elevation without spending a minimum of AED500 offered by branded sky bars.
Location: 43rd Floor, Four Points by Sheraton, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Price Starting: AED 100 per person
Open Time: 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM
Contact Number: +971564142213
9. Zeta Seventy Seven
Zeta Seventy Seven sits on the 77th floor of Address Beach Resort, close to 294 metres up, right beside the world's highest outdoor infinity pool. Nothing else on this list gets you this high, and the Asian fusion seafood menu holds its own against the view. Ask for the outdoor terrace facing the Gulf, not the indoor lounge that looks inland.
Location: Level 77, Address Beach Resort, JBR
Price Starting: AED 137 per person
Open Time: 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM
Contact Number: +97148798866
If you only book one table on this whole list, make it CÉ LA VI. Nowhere else in Dubai puts the Burj Khalifa this close at eye level, and the cocktail programme actually holds up once the view stops being the only reason you're there. Book seven days out for a Burj-facing terrace seat and you won't need a second rooftop that trip.
