The Bottom Line
Bay Club is a poolside bar in Business Bay where you can settle in for drinks, shisha, food or an evening of live entertainment. The reviews make the atmosphere the main draw: the pool setting, chill house music and friendly service suit everything from casual drinks to a family outing or after-work meeting. The upstairs shisha lounge adds a more relaxed option with small bites and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Food is broader than typical bar snacks. Reviewers mention the Oriental burger, Araburger, Grilled Bay Platter, dynamite shrimp, tacos, nachos and the salmon truffle salad. The house-made-tasting, non-greasy potato chips also received a specific compliment, while another diner liked the generous portions.
Dietary requests have reportedly been handled by the kitchen, so it is worth mentioning them when ordering. Happy hour is a useful reason to visit, with reviewers praising the drink-and-food deals, and poolside drinks are described as reasonably priced compared with other pools. Do allow extra time for food: slow kitchen preparation appears in more than one review, and one visit found the dishes short on flavor and freshness.
Draft beer choice may also be limited. For a livelier evening, check the live-music schedule; Friday nights can be quiet.
