The Good Stuff
Calm pool
The rooftop pool is described as serene and sophisticated, without loud DJs or overpowering music.
Creative cocktails
The drinks include distinctive combinations such as Greek and Egyptian ingredients, alongside reliable classics.
Welcoming service
Several visits mention friendly, attentive hospitality, including a warm reception welcome and engaged table service.
Sunset setting
The rooftop works well for an unhurried sunset visit, with the terrace filling up as the light changes.
Special occasions
Birthday and anniversary visits received thoughtful touches, including a small birthday cake and a strong setting for celebrations.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Reserve in advance, especially for terrace seating; one review reports a AED 250 per-person minimum and AED 1,000 for a front-row table.
Time sunset. Arrive before sunset if you want terrace seating, as one group found the terrace filled up around that time.
Use platform. Take your skyline photos on the overlooking platform rather than at the table, where photography is not allowed.
Plan late food. If arriving around 11 PM, eat beforehand or confirm the snack menu first because snacks were unavailable for one late visit.
Expect wind. Outdoor evenings can be windy; ask about blankets if you are sensitive to cooler rooftop conditions.
Check minimums. Confirm the seating area and minimum spend before agreeing, as one walk-in was offered bar seating with a minimum bill.

The Bottom Line
High Society is a rooftop bar at The Lana in Business Bay, drawing visitors mainly for its broad downtown skyline and Burj Khalifa views. You can come for sunset drinks, a pool day, dinner or a special celebration; reviews also mention the cheese platter, lamb steam buns, truffle sandwich and a creative cocktail menu. The overlooking platform is the designated spot for skyline photos.
The atmosphere ranges from calm and softly musical during relaxed afternoons to a cooler house-music lounge at night. The pool is notably quieter than many Dubai rooftop venues, without loud DJs. Staff are often described as welcoming and attentive, and birthday guests have received a small cake, but service is not perfectly consistent: some visitors report slow follow-ups, forgotten items or mixed-up orders.
Budget carefully. Reviews describe the venue as expensive, with examples including a AED 180 Caesar salad, a AED 140 margarita pizza and a bill approaching AED 2,000 for two. Terrace seating may carry a minimum spend, including AED 250 per person or AED 1,000 for a front-row table.
Book ahead, confirm the seating terms, and check late-night food availability before arriving. If you mainly want the view and drinks, the setting is more reliably praised than every dish.
