All other cocktail bars may be dead to you once you've sipped a Pearl Sky (gin, rhubarb liqueur, yuzu, blackberry and lemon) or Sake Samurai (vodka, sake, mango, pineapple, cumin syrup and Prosecco) cocktail (Dhs62) on Hakkasan's bar terrace while soaking up the views overlooking the vast, manicured grounds of the Emirates Palace.

Come between 6pm and 8pm Sunday to Friday (or 6pm to 11.30pm on Saturday) for its two cocktails plus a tapas plate deal (Dhs96).
