Dubai Nightclub Prices – Your Quick Guide

If you’re planning a night out in Dubai, the first thing on your mind is probably the price tag. From wristband entry to bottle service, costs can vary a lot. This guide breaks down the main fees you’ll see at the city’s top clubs and shows you how to keep the night fun without blowing your budget.

Entry Fees and Guest‑List Hacks

Most big‑name venues—Billionaire Dubai, BASE, Soho Garden—charge a standard entry fee that ranges from AED 150 to AED 300 on weekdays. On Fridays and Saturdays the price can jump to AED 350‑AED 500, especially when international DJs are on deck.

Getting on the guest list is the cheapest way to skip the door charge. Clubs often accept a few names per table, so ask a friend who’s already booked to add you. You’ll still need to dress to code (smart‑casual is safest), but the entry fee is usually waived.

If you’re not on a guest list, look for early‑bird wristbands. Buying a wristband before 10 pm can shave off up to AED 50‑AED 100. Some venues also run “Ladies Night” promotions where women enter free after a certain hour—keep an eye on the clubs’ Instagram feeds for those announcements.

Table Service and Bottle Prices

Table booking is where the big money goes. A standard booth for four people starts at AED 800‑AED 1,200 on a regular night. During peak events—New Year’s Eve, major festivals—prices can soar to AED 3,000 or more.

Bottle service adds another layer. A basic vodka or whiskey bottle costs around AED 600‑AED 900, while premium brands like Grey Goose or Johnnie Walker Blue Label can cost AED 2,500‑AED 4,000. Don’t forget the mixers and garnish; clubs often charge extra for soda, fruit, and ice.Want to save? Share a table with a larger group. Splitting the bill on a larger booth can bring the per‑person cost down to under AED 300. Also, ask the host to recommend house‑brand bottles—they taste similar and are a fraction of the price.

For a low‑key night, hit the club’s bar area. A cocktail is usually AED 35‑AED 55, and a beer runs around AED 25‑AED 35. Some places offer happy‑hour drinks from 8 pm‑10 pm at a reduced rate—perfect for a quick drink before you hit the dance floor.

Finally, remember that service charges and VAT are added on top of the listed price. Always ask the staff how much the final bill will be before you commit.

With these basics, you can plan a night out that fits your wallet. Stick to guest‑list tricks, choose your bottle wisely and watch the clock for early‑bird discounts. Dubai’s nightlife is world‑class—you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy it.
