Ladies Night Dubai: Every Free Night Out for Women in 2026
By Jordan Cheal, Founder of SCNE
Published · Updated
Dubai runs more ladies night deals than any other city on Earth. Almost every bar, club, and restaurant in the city offers women free drinks, discounted entry, or special packages on at least one night of the week.
It's one of the best things about living in Dubai — and one of the first things every woman who moves here discovers.
This guide covers the best ladies nights in Dubai by day of the week, so you always know where to go.
How Ladies Night Works in Dubai
The format is simple: venues offer women free entry and a set number of complimentary drinks (usually 3-4) during a specific time window (typically 8pm-12am). Some venues also offer discounted food. Men usually pay normal prices.
Ladies nights run every night of the week, but Tuesday and Wednesday are the biggest nights with the most options.
Monday Ladies Nights
Maiden Shanghai at FIVE Palm Jumeirah
Asian fusion dining with 3 complimentary drinks for ladies. The setting is stunning — right on the Palm with skyline views.
Iris Dubai at Oberoi Hotel
Rooftop cocktails in Business Bay with complimentary beverages for women from 8pm-11pm. One of the more sophisticated Monday options.
STK at Rixos Premium JBR
Steak restaurant with a party atmosphere. Ladies get complimentary drinks from 8pm-11pm.
Tuesday Ladies Nights
Tuesday is one of the biggest ladies night nights in Dubai.
Barasti Beach Bar
The original Dubai beach bar. Ladies get 3 free drinks from 8pm to midnight. The vibe is casual and fun — one of the most popular nights of the week here.
Penthouse at FIVE JBR
Rooftop bar with panoramic views. Ladies receive complimentary champagne and cocktails. Dress code is smart — this is one of the more upscale Tuesday options.
Lock, Stock & Barrel at Rixos
Pub-style venue with live music. Ladies get 3 complimentary drinks. The atmosphere is energetic and social — great for groups.

New England-style seafood restaurant. Ladies enjoy complimentary sparkling wine and cocktails from 7pm-10pm.

Wednesday is arguably the biggest ladies night in Dubai.

Multiple venues in one complex — choose between different music genres and vibes. Ladies get complimentary drinks across all venues. This is consistently one of the most popular nights out in Dubai.

Urban-industrial venue at Atlantis, The Palm. Ladies enjoy unlimited drinks from 9pm. The music leans electronic and hip-hop.
Galaxy Bar at DIFC

Cafe de la Music at One&Only The Palm
Beachfront venue with live music and a relaxed atmosphere. Ladies receive complimentary drinks from 7pm-10pm.
Thursday Ladies Nights
Thursday is the start of the Dubai weekend, so most venues run pre-party deals.
WHITE Dubai at Meydan
Dubai's flagship superclub offers ladies complimentary drinks before midnight. This is where the weekend begins for Dubai's nightlife crowd.
Jetty Lounge at One&Only Royal Mirage
Beach lounge with stunning sunset views. Ladies enjoy complimentary cocktails from 6pm-9pm — perfect for a pre-dinner drink on the sand.

Friday & Saturday Ladies Nights
Weekend ladies nights are less common but they do exist.

Zero Gravity
Friday beach party with ladies getting complimentary drinks before 4pm. The pool party runs all day and transitions into a nightclub in the evening.
Sunday Ladies Nights
Sunday is a work night in Dubai, so these tend to be more relaxed.

Tiki-themed bar with a chilled Sunday vibe. Ladies enjoy complimentary cocktails from 7pm-10pm. The outdoor terrace overlooking Madinat's waterways is beautiful.
Siddharta Lounge at Grosvenor House
Upscale lounge with Marina views. Ladies get complimentary beverages and a relaxed start to the work week.
Ladies Night Tips
- Arrive on time — Most deals have strict time windows (e.g., 8pm-11pm). Arriving at 10:45pm means you get one drink, not four.
- Dress code — Nearly all venues enforce dress codes. Smart casual minimum. Some require heels.
- Book a table — Many venues let you reserve a table for free if you confirm a minimum group size. This guarantees you a spot on busy nights.
- ID required — Some venues check ID at the door. Always carry your Emirates ID or passport.
- Group chats — Most expat women in Dubai have WhatsApp groups specifically for coordinating ladies nights. Ask your colleagues or neighbours.
- Transportation — Use ride-hailing apps. Dubai has zero tolerance for drink driving.
