The Good Stuff
Poolside setting
The pool deck works for a relaxed day in the sun, with food and drinks close by.
Quality shisha
Shisha is a recurring strength, with one review calling out its smooth setup and top quality.
Bento Box
The Bento Box is a useful poolside lunch choice that reviewers found delicious.
Cocktails
The espresso martini received a specific thumbs-up from a visitor.

Tips for a Better Visit
Plan for heat. For a hot day, ask whether a large fan can be pointed at your table; the entire bar is outdoors.
Allow time. If attending the pool brunch, allow extra arrival time because one group was moved three times before being seated.
Confirm sides. When ordering steak, confirm available sides and sauces clearly before finalising the order.
Check sorbet. If you need dairy-free dessert, check the sorbet ingredients first; one serving reportedly contained milk or cream.
Try lunch. For a poolside meal, consider the Bento Box, which one reviewer specifically enjoyed.

The Bottom Line
DECK TOO is a poolside bar in Downtown Dubai with a strong draw: an open-air deck looking towards the Burj Khalifa. You can come for a relaxed pool day, lunch, drinks or shisha. The setting suits an easy afternoon in the sun as well as an evening when the skyline and music do much of the work.
Food reviews mention the Bento Box, lamb chops, shrimp Caesar salad and Wagyu burger, while the espresso martini also received a specific compliment. Several visitors describe the menu as affordable for the area, though one reviewer found the vegetarian selection limited. Shisha is another recurring reason to visit, with comments praising its preparation and quality.
Service is generally described as attentive, warm and professional, but the experience is not completely consistent. A pool-brunch guest was moved three times before being settled, and a birthday dinner raised concerns about steak doneness, dessert accuracy and an unwanted water charge. The whole bar is outdoors, so Dubai heat is a real consideration; large fans can be directed towards tables.
If ordering a steak or sorbet, confirm the details with the team before settling in.
