We’re seeing it firsthand right now, that summer in Dubai is pretty brutal. So, pretty much everybody in town is looking for someplace cool (literally and vibe-wise) to hide-out. But if you’re asking me, then there’s really only one place that comes to mind which nails both – Sexy Fish! These guys have got panoramic skyline views, ridiculously pretty interiors, and cocktails that deserve their own fan club. I have even more juicy details you want to know, so keep reading to find out why Sexy Fish in DIFC is going to be your ultimate survival bunker this summer in Dubai.
Right Out Of A Movie
If we’re talking about the vibe, then you need to know this place is dripping in details. I’m talking jade tiles, glowing amber bars, mermaid sculptures by Damien Hirst, and dramatic fish lights hanging overhead. This place is fancy and over the top (and I mean that in all the best ways)! From being at the sushi counter watching chefs in action to sipping cocktails on the terrace, every corner feels like a scene right out of a dystopian movie.
Happy Hour, But Make It Kanpai
Weekday sunsets just got an upgrade. Sexy Fish’s “Sundown Somewhere Kanpai” happy hour (Kanpai = Japanese for “cheers”) runs Monday to Friday, 4pm to 7pm. Expect classics like Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martinis, plus Lychee Martinis for those who want something a little sweeter. All while watching the sun dip behind the hazy skyline. The best part? Drinks start at AED 40, cocktails at AED 55, and snacks like sushi rolls are AED 49. Pretty great excuse for post-work plans, right?
New Drinks Alert: The “X” Menu
Sexy Fish is turning 10 this year, and to celebrate, they’ve dropped a brand-new global cocktail menu called “X.” It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s packed with drinks you won’t find anywhere else. I’m talking 20 new creations – 10 cocktails and 10 low-alcohol or booze-free options. Think whiskey with miso and plum (Miso Thirsty), tequila with yuzu and hibiscus (Fit as a Fiddle), and even a vodka-citrus-ginger combo with gochujang (Super Magic Monkey). Basically, drinks that double as conversation starters.
Dubai’s Ultimate Brunch Goals
Saturdays are for brunch, but Sexy Fish’s “More Than Brunch” is exactly what it sounds like. MORE. From 12:30pm to 4pm, you’re getting an underwater-inspired feast with dishes like Nigiri, Maki Rolls, Black Cod, and Spicy Beef Tenderloin. But the food’s only half of it. Expect DJs, live sax, candy floss dancers (exactly what you’re thinking but way more dramatic than you can imagine), and a whimsical Candy Room that feels like stepping into a dream. It’s fun, over-the-top in the best way, and easily one of Dubai’s most unique brunches.
Get This Place On Your Radar – Or You’re Not Dining In Dubai Correctly
Sexy Fish is the perfect place for when you need something special without the extra fuss. Whether you’re brunching, happy hour-ing, or just in the mood for a fun night out, it delivers on the food, the drinks, and the vibes. So next time you’re planning a summer catch-up, you know where to say “Kanpai!”
