Tips for a Better Visit
Book weekends. Reserve ahead for weekend visits, as one reviewer said booking was necessary for a Friday evening.
Join the waitlist. Ask staff to add you to the waitlist if bowling or pool tables are occupied.
Check wine. Ask what wine is available and state your preference rather than accepting an unspecified bottle.
Choose your timing. For easier conversation, consider visiting before the late-evening volume rises after 9 PM.
Use the terrace. If outdoor seating matters, check whether the terrace is open; reviewers say the view is incredible when it is.
Check brunch. Saturday brunch has been reported as including unlimited food, drinks and complimentary games for Dhs195.

The Bottom Line
The 44 is a lively Business Bay bar for groups who want more than a table and a drink. You can bowl, play billiards or darts, watch sports and order pub food, while the 44th-floor setting brings city and Burj Khalifa views into the evening. The terrace is the main draw when it is open.
The games make it a natural choice for after-work gatherings, birthdays and office events. Food feedback is mixed, but several reviews specifically like the calamari, nachos, prawns and meat platter. Drinks include house craft beer and signature cocktails; one reviewer felt the cocktails were weak for their price.
Saturday brunch has also been reported at Dhs195 with unlimited food, drinks and complimentary games. Plan around the mood you want. It can be a friendly, energetic sports-bar hangout, but the music reportedly becomes very loud after 9 PM, so it is not the easiest place for a quiet conversation.
Weekend bookings and game waitlists are worth arranging, while valet parking is available. Check wine choices before ordering, and remember that food and service are not perfectly consistent: one bowling lane had a mechanical issue, and some reviews mention slow service or average dishes.
