Jazz@PizzaExpress

Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah


It's really a pizza joint tucked amid residential high-rises, but this pretence-free place gets hopping just about nightly with open-mic jam sessions, swing nights, acoustic songwriter nights and happening bands. It's next to Mövenpick Hotel.

The Friday brunch is a boisterous fun affair with Italian pizza, pasta and antipasti choices accompanied by live jazz (from Dhs150).
