Quick Answer: Sunday is the quietest ladies night in Dubai: one venue in our directory runs its ladies night on a Sunday — Antika on 25 Jump Street, with two dishes and free-flow drinks for AED 175, or AED 240 with shisha. Other venues open on Sundays, such as Olé, 1 OAK and Iris Harbour, hold their ladies nights on other days.
Why Sunday is Dubai’s Best-Kept Secret
Since 2022 Sunday has been the second day of the official UAE weekend — but for many residents it is also the night before the working week begins. The city is quieter, queues are shorter, and the venues that are open have more time for their guests.
Dubai’s Sunday crowd is a specific one — those who have discovered that going out early in the week is often a better experience than the Saturday chaos. You will find well-travelled expats, hospitality industry workers on their night off, and tourists who have done the big Saturday night and are looking for something more low-key but still quality on their final evening in the city.
What to Expect on a Sunday
Sunday is noticeably calmer than a Friday or Saturday, which brings advantages you cannot get on the weekend’s peak nights: the best bar stools are yours, the bartenders have time for you, and the DJs — often resident rather than guest acts — play longer, more exploratory sets without the pressure of a packed room.
The flip side: fixed ladies night offers are rare on a Sunday. If free drinks are the priority, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday has far more choice.
Top Venue for Sunday Ladies Night
- Antika (25 Jump Street, One Central, Trade Centre) — Levantine dinner-show lounge and nightclub behind the 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central.

The Sunday ladies night: two dishes plus free-flow drinks for AED 175, or AED 240 including shisha. Open in the evenings from around 9 PM until about 3 AM.

Sunday Night Guestlist and Logistics
Sunday guestlists are the easiest to secure in Dubai’s nightlife calendar. Most venues will accept registrations on the day itself, and walk-in is more viable than on any other night — though for Antika’s dinner show a reservation is the safer choice.
- Register via Instagram or WhatsApp — venues often respond same-day on Sundays
- Groups of up to eight can usually walk in to most Sunday venues without a table booking
- Transport is the easiest of the week — taxis and Careem are readily available
