Located in the heart of Dubai Marina, Barasti benefits from a superb beach-front location. Laid-back, welcoming and sun-soaked, the reasons for this bar’s popularity are not rocket science. Even with a recent refit almost doubling the place in size, it still gets packed out with a cool, casual crowd most nights of the week, with people enjoying the multiple pleasures of decent drinks, shisha pipes and sea views. Chilled-out tunes add to the ambience.
