The Good Stuff
Sunset setting
The rooftop atmosphere works particularly well for sunset drinks, with several reviews describing the setting as calm, breezy or lively at the right moments.
Pool access
Non-residents can use the infinity pool by paying an access fee, making it more than just a drinks stop.
Cocktails
Reviews specifically praise the cocktail selection, including a well-liked Mojito and a strong general reputation for mixed drinks.
Relaxed atmosphere
The poolside lounge can feel quiet and serene, and one visitor stayed for more than five hours while watching the sunset and dipping their feet in the pool.
Food options
Food reviews are broadly positive, with fries and the venue's poke bowl receiving specific praise alongside the drinks.
What to Eat at Look Up Rooftop Bar How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Look Up Rooftop Bar, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check access. Ask about the current pool-entry arrangement before arriving; reviews report weekend and non-resident fees that may be redeemable on food and drinks.
Find the entrance. Look Up is on the fifth floor of La Ville Hotel; knowing this first can save you from wandering around City Walk.
Choose timing. For a quieter drink, try a Monday; one visitor found it very chilled then and heard it became busier later in the week.
Check parking. Avoid relying on City Walk car-park validation without confirming it first, as one guest was charged AED100 despite a stamped receipt.
Plan weather. As an open rooftop, it is more comfortable in good weather; one review specifically notes there is no air conditioning.

Common Concerns
Uneven service
Service is praised in many reviews but criticised sharply in others, including complaints about inattentive and unhelpful waiters.
Limited vegetarian menu
Vegetarian diners may find the menu narrower than they would like.
Music mismatch
The music has divided opinion: one review found it low and uninspired, while another said the tracks were too upbeat for the rooftop mood.
High drinks prices
Some visitors consider drinks expensive, with one reporting AED150 for a double gin and tonic before a 10% service charge.
Parking confusion
A stamped City Walk car-park receipt did not result in free parking for one visitor, who ultimately paid AED100.

The Bottom Line
Look Up Rooftop Bar is a poolside Mediterranean restaurant and drinks spot in Al Wasl, above La Ville Hotel & Suites at City Walk. The main draw is the infinity pool facing the Dubai skyline, with especially clear views of the Burj Khalifa. It suits sunset drinks, date nights and relaxed evening catch-ups, while the rooftop also works for a longer pool visit rather than a quick bar stop.
The menu includes Mediterranean-inspired food, cocktails, finger food and shisha. Reviewers call out the cocktails, Mojito, sangria, draft beers, fries and the poke bowl. Non-residents can use the pool, but access is paid; reported packages have included redeemable food-and-drink credit.
Service is a real variable. Many guests describe attentive, welcoming staff, but one recent review reports extremely poor service and an unhelpful shisha attendant. The vegetarian menu has also been described as limited, and the music has drawn criticism for being either too quiet or too upbeat for the setting.
Check the current pool fee and parking rules before you go. Reviews mention free parking nearby, but a City Walk car-park validation failed for one guest. Look for the bar on the fifth floor of La Ville Hotel, and consider a Monday if you want a quieter atmosphere.
