What to Eat at Sol Sky 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 Sol Sky 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.

Nachos Net −1
“Anyways... I ordered some nachos. And I was totally dissappointed with this zero appealing nachos. Soggy unflavored tortilla chips, with and old, gooey unsalty yellow cheese, rancid harsh guacamole and few chilis, all arranged in the most unpleasant way. I tried to eat them as I was kind of hungry wanting to snack on something.. But I just couldn't.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm bookings. If you reserve a table, confirm whether a private event could affect your seating or departure time.
Ask fees first. Ask about any entrance fee before sitting down; one visitor said it was disclosed only after seating.
Check kitchen hours. For a late visit, check kitchen closing time in advance: one Saturday review says it closed at 10pm.
Choose your view. The rooftop has distinct sides facing the creek and the modern skyline, so ask for the outlook you prefer.
Try offers. A Tuesday visit once included an offer of 99AED for three drinks; check whether similar promotions are running.
Sunset expectations. If sunset is your main reason for going, verify the view first: one visitor found it difficult to appreciate the sunset from there.

Common Concerns
Event disruption
One booked table was asked to leave by 7pm for a private event, while the air conditioning stayed off until 6:30pm.
Service gaps
During one Saturday comedy night, one bartender covered the upstairs bar and guests waited about 15 minutes without service.
Kitchen closure
A review reports that the kitchen had closed at 10pm, despite the upstairs bar being promoted after the event.
Food inconsistency
Food feedback ranges from exceptionally good to a disappointing order of soggy, unseasoned nachos with poor-quality toppings.
Undisclosed fee
One visitor only learned about an entrance fee after being seated, rather than at the entrance.

The Bottom Line
Sol Sky Bar is a seventh-floor rooftop venue in Umm Hurair where the main draw is the outlook: reviews describe Dubai Creek on one side and Bur Dubai, Downtown and the Burj Khalifa on the other. High-chair seating can give you an uninterrupted view, while the pool and loungers make it easy to settle in for an afternoon or evening. There is enough here for more than just the scenery.
Customers mention Halloumi Fries, chicken panini, pizza and chicken wings, alongside cocktails such as the Hibiscus lavender cocktail and Italian Job. The bar has also made special sugar-free and vegetable-mix drinks on request. Some visitors use the quieter atmosphere for remote work; others come for DJ-led nights, including a notably lively Egyptian night during Eid.
The experience is not perfectly consistent. Several reviews praise attentive service, but another describes a 15-minute wait with no upstairs staff after a comedy night, and the kitchen was reportedly closed at 10pm. A private-event booking also led to an early departure request and delayed air conditioning.
Confirm event arrangements, kitchen hours and any entrance fee before settling in. A past Tuesday promotion offered three drinks for 99AED, though current deals should be checked.
