Check prices. Check menu prices and monitor orders before committing; a 15 June 2026 review reported a bill above AED 1,850 for two.
Try mocktails. If you are skipping alcohol, ask for the milk oolong or passion fruit mocktail; both were specifically enjoyed in a July 2026 review.
Use valet. Driving in for dinner? Use the venue’s valet parking, which was noted by a Sunday-roast guest on 26 July 2026.
Choose DJ nights. For a lively evening that still allows conversation, consider a DJ night; a March 2026 guest said the music was not too loud.
Try brunch. Saturday brunch and Sunday roast are both reviewed positively, so check the schedule if you want an event-led meal.

The Bottom Line
Jones Social is a restaurant and cocktail bar in Business Bay where dinner can easily turn into an evening out. The menu suits sharing and full meals alike: reviewers repeatedly mention the steak, truffle pasta, tacos, burrata and grilled salmon. The tacos have a particularly strong following, while the steak was described as juicy, tender and cooked exactly right.
The setting is stylish and warm rather than club-loud. DJs, live jazz and other performances provide atmosphere, but several guests said the volume still allowed them to chat. That makes it workable for a date, catching up with friends or after-work drinks.
There is also outdoor seating and valet parking, both useful details for an evening visit. Special events are a major part of the experience, with positive reviews for Thursday ladies’ nights, Saturday brunches and Sunday roast. Cocktail drinkers can look at the signature drinks, including the Paloma, while the milk oolong and passion fruit mocktails give non-drinkers more interesting options than a standard soft drink.
One review strongly disagreed with the otherwise positive food feedback, and another reported a final bill above AED 1,850 for two. Check current menu prices and event terms before ordering, especially when drinks are involved.
