The Avenue Club Dubai

The Avenue Club is inside the Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. It is a twenty-minute walk from the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall.

While most venues on this strip lean into the flash of their skyscraper surroundings, The Avenue Club keeps its focus on international house and dance tracks. The room runs smart and elegant, but it ignores the high-concept performance art found at its larger neighbours. If you prefer a night of hits over the theatrical production common to this stretch of road, this is your move. The club is a twenty-five-minute walk from Dubai Opera, placing it far enough from the primary tourist thoroughfares to escape the worst of the nightly foot traffic.
