The Good Stuff
Burj View
The outdoor terrace gives diners a clear view of Burj Khalifa, especially appealing for evening drinks.
Strong Bites
Food is more than an accompaniment: reviewers specifically praise the dumplings, seafood and beautifully presented appetizers.
Stylish Atmosphere
Warm lighting, distinctive interiors, music and an intimate layout create an upscale setting without making it feel overly formal.
Non-Alcoholic Option
Sparkling tea is singled out as a distinctive, refreshing choice for guests avoiding alcohol.
Quiet Soundtrack
The music can provide energy while remaining quiet enough for conversation, according to one reviewer.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Picante. Ask for Mimi’s Picante; reviewers describe it as a standout cocktail with tequila, pineapple, jalapeño, coriander and gentle heat.
Choose Terrace. For the Burj Khalifa view, request or prioritise the outdoor terrace when booking or arriving.
Try Tea. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, order the sparkling tea, which one reviewer found unique and refreshing.
Check Sound. The atmosphere becomes livelier as the evening progresses, while another reviewer found the music quiet enough for conversation.

The Bottom Line
Moon Bar by MiMi is a Downtown Dubai cocktail lounge aimed at stylish evenings rather than quick, casual drinks. You can work through a creative cocktail menu, order Chinese-influenced bites and dim sum, or settle in for a date, friends’ night or celebration. The terrace is a draw for its Burj Khalifa view.
The drinks are the main event. Mimi’s Picante combines tequila, pineapple, jalapeño, coriander and lingering heat, while the Chá Old Fashioned uses dark rum, sandalwood, spiced tea and peach. Other named choices include the Lychee Gin Sour and sparkling strawberry mojito.
Food is taken seriously too: reviews call out dumplings, salt and pepper squid, Moonfire tempura prawns and plant-based Yutu tempura garden. Expect warm lighting, dark and elegant interiors, lounge or DJ music and attentive service. Several guests found the music comfortable for conversation, though the mood can become more energetic later.
The overall setting is intimate and polished, with an unusual speakeasy feel. One caution: a guest found the service so constant that they left after one drink, and another said prices sit on the higher side. The sparkling tea gives non-drinkers a considered alternative.
