A birthday in Dubai can be a club table with a show, a dinner party that turns into a dance floor, a party brunch or a day by the pool. This guide covers where to celebrate at our partner venues, what a birthday table costs and how to book it with a host, with prices taken from each venue’s own listing.

How to plan a birthday night out
Pick the club by music and by day, then book a table for your group. A club table is a minimum spend: the amount is what your group spends on drinks at the table, not a fee on top. Bigger tables come with a higher minimum spend, and some venues add a set amount per extra guest. Read how table bookings work in Dubai for the details.
Booking is recommended for weekends, and BLU Dubai fills up fast, so arrive early. Clubs are 21+ and the door checks ID, so everyone in the group should bring a valid physical ID. Most clubs ask for smart casual, while BLU Dubai also takes streetwear or casual chic: see what to wear to Dubai’s clubs.
