Originally conceptualized in Paris in 1995, Barfly was inspired by the legendary habitué Charles Bukowski, and the venue went on to redefine what nightlife is to the whole world

As a huge fan of Buddha Bar i was excited to check out Barfly and it did not disappoint: the cocktails were very pretty and tasted even better! The bling Bling Peach stole my heart as I love all things fruity and my partner really liked Rodeo Drive.


The sushi selection is rich and offers many glamorous and ultra instagrammable options. The gold plated soft crab sushi go perfectly with the light cocktails and make for a great opening for the dinner.

For mains we went for the grilled lobster and the wagyu beef and both were really mouthwatering.

Desserts were as exciting and we enjoyed the delicate Mochi that came in two flavors as well as Japanese Lemon Tart. The presentation was simply mind-blowing and insta-worthy.

The Atmosphere

The indoor area is very spacious, the glamorous interior is full of intricate details and colorful accents accents like the iconic Goddess of Victory statue. The DJ adds to the relaxing vibe with chill out beats.

Barfly offers a stunning view from the terrace which is perfect for the Dubai winter season.

Our verdict:Perfect for romantic dates,  dinners with friends and special celebrations.
