Nola Eatery & Social House

Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah

With a huge marble-topped bar as its centrepiece and a daily happy hour (5pm to 8pm), the New Orleans–inspired Nola is popular with the after-work crowd. It’s a good-looking spot in the bowels of the Armada BlueBay Hotel, with cosy vintage decor, teal-coloured booths, outdoor terrace and live jazz on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Drinks are well-priced, and the bartenders, decked out in old-school braces and bow-ties, add to the charm. If you’re feeling peckish, there’s decent Louisiana-style fare such as seafood gumbo and Cajun grills.
