The nightlife gets even more exciting at the French Riviera’s crown jewel, Gotha Club Dubai, infused with art and marked with world-class entertainment, offering a unique and animated clubbing experience hosting sophisticated events with top performing artists and original entertainment combining elements of a nightclub and a live entertainment venue.

We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks at Makar – one of the hotel’s popular bars exuding sophistication and style with a Scottish touch. Check out the bar’s drink menu with its fun take on trophy stag heads that’s guaranteed to raise a smile before you’ve even raised your glass!

We were invited to try The Old Man & The Sea, a whisky y based cocktail using Old Pultney and a mix of citrus flavours topped with Luxardo Maraschino Cherry Liqueur. We also tried the Orchard Dramble which is a slightly different take on the classic bramble. It is a refreshing fruity drink with a mix of Dewar’s 12 whisky, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur and cloudy apple juice.

Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar is an elegant American Mid-West grill restaurant, bar and terrace, which offers a spectacular view of the Burj Khalifa to go along with its mouthwatering dishes and refreshing drinks for an all-round, fine dining experience. It is the ideal location to enjot an evening overlooking the illuminated Dubai skyline. We sampled the Kentucky Mojito made with Jim Bean white label and the Frozen Penicilin made with Dewar’s 12 blended and Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Whisky.

Fire Lake Grill House and Cocktail Bar originated in Minnesota and combines the best mid-west traditions of open flame cooking with the art of cocktail creation. The restaurant is all about the flavour of the flame with many of the dishes wood, flame-cooked or smoked.

The culture and style of the food is deeply rooted in North America but with touches that are closer to home. Fire Lake Grill House serves moreish appetisers such as these yummy Crab Croquettes served with a Comeback Sauce that will have you coming back for more!

We also tried a tasty Whiskey concoction carefully crafted off menu by our friendly bar tender.

The other starters at Fire Lake Grill House also include meaty delicacies like Sticky Lamb Ribs with smoky Gaujillio chilli glaze served with pickled cucumber and scattered with toasted sesame seeds.

Delicious mains courses cooked on coals include 28 day aged Greater Omaha Choice beef served on the bone and succulent coal roasted lamb rump served with charred hispi cabbage, pickled onions, yoghurt and pomegranate seeds.
