Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah
This UK import features private karaoke pods where groups of six to 25 people can belt out tunes from a huge playlist without (much) fear of embarrassment. Even if you're not into singing, come for ladies' nights, Friday brunch or on nights when the house band plays highly danceable funk, rock and soul classics.
There is a minimum drinks cost of Dhs150 over a two-hour period in the private karaoke pods. You must be 21 or older.
