The Bottom Line

NoLo is a non-alcoholic bar and restaurant in DIFC, set on the 24th floor of the Dusit Thani hotel. It suits anyone who wants a proper evening out without alcohol, with creative mocktails, food and a vintage jazz-club atmosphere rather than a conventional bar setting. The Sheikh Zayed Road views are a major part of the experience.

For food, the wagyu or Nolo sliders are among the safest bets in the reviews. Shrimp tacos, fried calamari, tofu dishes and Notso Nigiri sushi also receive specific praise. There is a dedicated vegan page, including options such as crispy mushrooms and cauliflower popcorn, while the Tree-Ra-Mi-Su dessert gives the classic tiramisu an unusual presentation.

The room is repeatedly described as cosy, dimly lit and retro, with jazz, swing or live saxophone contributing to a calm date-night feel. It is also more relaxed than its polished décor might suggest: reviewers mention comfortable seating, board games and attentive service. If the view matters, request a window table.

Parking is practical too, with valet service behind the hotel and self-parking reported as available. Do note that the menu is not especially broad and one reviewer found the sushi spicy.
