Bitter Honey, cocktail bar in Business Bay, Dubai
Editor's pickCocktail bar

Bitter Honey

A small, adults-only cocktail room at The Lana that understands the appeal of restraint.

On The Radar, it belongs in the edit for readers who want five-star service without a pool deck, a DJ booth or an oversized crowd.

Blind Tiger, cocktail bar in Jumeirah, Dubai
Editor's pickCocktail bar

Blind Tiger

A concealed cocktail bar inside Al Naseem that trades on discretion, dark corners and well-made classics.

The Radar would recommend it when a reader wants a sophisticated Jumeirah address that feels removed from the scale and brightness of the surrounding resort.
