Burj Al Arab, Sky View Bar Review

Very costly for the services offered
Their speciality cocktail is very average
Out of menu cocktail prep is below average
No proper presentation of drinks, served in ordinary glasses

Gold gold gold and Rolls Royce. Of course it is expensive and of course the design is special and maybe not 100% up to date. But it is worth a visit. I wouldn't go with kids but for a date or anniversary its a good place.

Underwhelming, 70's decor and no ambience. Overpriced, don't let curiosity get the better of you, find a better view in Dubai city.

Excellent experience great view fantastic service and exceptional cocktails

Glad, I had a chance to be here. Very attentive staff

Ok. I'm a foodie and I've dined in many places. The ambiance and service was fantastic.
The food was not so great, however.
As a restaurant ambiance and service are a good adjunct to a great dining experience. But they can not replace the dining itself.
I felt like the food should have been much, much better.

Book for sundowners and you will not be disappointed. This is the best and most romantic way to experience the Burj Al Arab without staying the night. Gives you a chance to dress up and experience the glamour of this 7 star hotel while enjoying the sunset and view of the World Islands - be sure to book a window seat.

The one thing you will never get tried of, is Sky Bars in Dubai... every bar offer something different.. but they all share one thing... great location, and great service ..

There were an amazing pianist there that let my niece to sit with her, something so simple made our day. It was an amazing experience, coffee, a kind of date bubbly and delicious finger sandwiches. We love it.

Attended afternoon tea here at the Skyview bar as a special treat for my mum as it was her birthday. You do need to book in advance and is quite pricey, but was worth it for a special occassion, she loved it. We were lucky enough to get a table by the window , which we requested, to get an amazing view! The staff were very helpful and always asked if we needed anything. They have a wide variety of teas, which was nice.

Nice restaurant with nice views of Jumeirah Beach and Palm Jumeirah. Somewhat annoying (if I had to look for the hair in the soup) was the waiter who every few minutes with a recommendation stood next to me when I was More

Dark place (it was the evening) and without interest Extremely disappointed the bland cocktails I really did not like the appetizers not good a bit of tasteless hummus on a small piece of grilled bread and a slice of cucumber and dried fruit not fresh at all ....
It should be reviewed all because I do not feel like having a moment of a famous place 7 star I am shocked I had come to spend a good time we left quickly ....

Fantastic view, great food and a nice location. The service is world class!

Fantastic place to sip your cocktail. We enjoyed the atmosphere, very stylish and trendy. Nice guests with style (while we were there at least). The place is not cheep but it is very exclusive and gives that extra value which makes you feel it is really one of the greatest bar experiences of your month. I can highly recommend it!!!

Service was great! Staff was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Views were amazing!

Very good site good service and very attentive prices are consistent with the attention very well be there!

An absolute must have while in Dubai. The place breathes luxury and glamor, but it is not cheesy at the same time. A wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful panorama of the island while sipping a great drink. I recommend trying coffee with gold flakes, they do not affect the taste but the consciousness itself is invaluable.

Beautiful location and excellent service, but I would highly recommend not to eat. I never seen such sad, tasteless, and bland food in a high end hotel. We ordered a sampler of apatizers which were brough up on a nice tray. Burger was dry, hummus tasted old and had a smoky flavor with very hard chips on a side, tuna tartar was just ok, 2 remaining ones I don't even remember. It's a shame, we had such a nice day at the beach and enjoyed breakfast and lunch just be be finished with discussting dinner.

No question, what should you write for a 7 star hotel. Top just. Unfortunately we only had a cocktail at the bar. We were only a short time guest. class

Expected more for the money - afternoon tea (quite a lot of money...+ 100aed for a window table). I've booked this table more than 2 weeks prior to our visit since we had specific requests for the chef. My gluten free sandwiches (and deserts) were literally the worst gluten free food I've ever tasted in my life. The finger sandwiches were extremely dry and the deserts had way too much sugar, as if the chef was compensating the lack of white flour with white sugar... The tea - the focus point of the whole visit was not offered by the staff - yes, there was a menu on the table, but unless you asked to be served a drink, you'd be getting some kind of welcome drink (alcohol free unless you pay extra). Staff were all polite and professional - except for the moment the tea and forgetting to offer it to the guests. My 3 stars are for the great view and the effort the staff were putting in order to satisfy the guests. On another note - 50% of the ladies guests got a single rose on their way out - I realized it was because their guys have made the reservation for them and have marked the visit as special event. I've also marked the visit as special event and got 0 out of it, not even the food I have paid for.
P.S. Ladies and gentlemen - no need to get all dressed up - most of the ladies (especially the ladies) were dressed as if they were planning a regular visit to the mall or meeting a friend at Starbucks... so, no need to iron shirts, pants, dresses... Nobody would even notice it anyway

Really lovely bar - but alot quieter than the Gold27 bar. Better in the day as you can't see much of a view at night facing the palm and sea. the near bar Gold27 has the spectacular views of the city, with a young upbeat vibe, however it can be too stuffy for a non smoker.

The afternoon tea was delicious, well executed. I think if i do it again I would ask the staff to box up the sweet desserts because they are too rich to eat in one sitting. Breathtaking views of Dubai and the sea on a clear day.

Beautiful bar with exceptional views and interesting cocktails. Pricey - but not surprising considering where you are.

Excellent drinks, food and magnificent service. The View is Great, arabic mezze was very delicious. I will visit this Hotel and Bar again.

Worth every penny. Book table by the window and arrive early

Went for afternoon teas, absolutely fantastic experience

Must visit sky bar in Buri Al Arab, a fantastic place leads you forget all worries...

Excellent, ideal to go accompanied. It's worth knowing

Amazing hotel, amazing bar. Incredible view, incredible design, perfect drinks. A must

Panoramic view of Dubai.
Cocktails made of diamonds cost thousands of dollars

Meanwhile, cocktail glass is made of crystal and feet with diamonds.
However, this is not the most expensive drink of the restaurant. "The Birth of an Icon" also costs up to 4,083 USD a glass.

Impeccable service, outstanding lunch menu and accompanying wine. Knowledgeable table staff who were very accommodating with our questions about the food- sources for example. The langoustine (Norwegian lobster) entree was absolutely divine as well as the quail main- prepared to perfection.

Location with beautiful views, the place to be reviewed in furnishings and finishes. It seemed a little retro.

Supernice view. The afternoon tea was clearly affordable. Good bump was also included. If you want something special, this is clearly recommended.

I can't believe that everyone else seems to rate this bar. We thought it was very poor. Poor wine at sky high prices. Somewhat slow service. And unattractive decor. There was a row of empty tables, with used tablecloths and the tables not set, making you feel as though it was closing time! Unimpressed!!

Burj Al Arab (Burj Al Arab, Burj Al Arab) is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the third highest hotel in the world (despite its total height consisting of 39% non-artificial site. Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Beach is located 280 meters (920 feet), and it is connected to the mainland through a private winding bridge. The shape of the hull resembles the sails of the ship Height 210 meters (689 feet) above the ground

Outstanding. Careful attention and very good quality in every detail.

Not just a bar but also an overwhelming view of Dubai

Best cocktail and service in Dubai! Cannot recommevccebougg!

Amazing and beautiful. Go hungry and even then you will not finish all the courses provided

Very nice and different coctails. A bit pricy. Must have reservation. Can be made online

An absolute must in Dubai. Great ambience with a unique view. Very courteous and polite staff. Food and drinks are at a very high level.

Stunning atmosphere and phenomenal views of Dubai. They have a great selection of cocktails and mini snacks, highly priced but worth it for a special occasion.

It is of course expensive but you can expect that in the burj al arab. The cocktails are delicious and the view beautiful. An experience to visit!

Divine! The brunch was worth every single euro cent! Food and drinks only the finest and the view is just incredible. We will come back!!!!!!!!

The best restaurant. View, hospitality, food, calming customer base, open atmosphere and all are good. As omal shrimp was lavishly waiting for lots, I ate a lot. As a reward for me, I absolutely want to go as an anniversary.

Five stars along the way. Thanks.
Amazing experience. Thank you.

Took ages to be served and waited to be seated upto half an hour

Very cool bar, great view and service. It is worth booking beforehand so as not to miss the trip.

VERY VERY VERY NICE!!! Food, drinks, view, staff and everything was as good as it gets. Totally worth the money. Worlds second best harpist plays wonderful tunes too!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

I just came here with my new Bugatti I I just have wonderful eve

Had afternoon tea here which was simply excellent. The food is not superior but the view and the service is magnificent. A great place to view the sunset.
Book in advance and remember to bring your camera.

If you do not live in the hotel, you can enter the bar only with a reservation.
You clearly have a great view of the coast and Dubai.
There are alcoholic drinks and a lot of cocktails.
Including by far the most expensive drinks I have ever seen. If you would like to spend 1000 euros for a single cocktail, this is the place for you. Ingredients are stuff like 80 years old scotch or 100 years old champagne.
Something's only in Dubai. (I stopped by a whiskey sour)

Good for a very luxurious hotel but maybe on a day when there is a view of the palm islands it is more successful (of course not for eating - not kosher)

Amazing, a place to behold, lovely meal, helpful staffs
