Choose your zone. When booking, ask whether you can select the bar, lounge or quieter dining area, as the atmosphere differs by zone.
Order early. If you expect to have several drinks on a busy night, order ahead rather than waiting for each one.
Check entertainment. Confirm the current ladies’ night format before booking if dance shows are important to you, as they were previously discontinued.
Check doneness. For steak or lamb, repeat your requested doneness when ordering and check the plate promptly, given one reported cooking issue.

The Bottom Line
Weslodge Saloon is a Canadian restaurant in Business Bay built around a 68th-floor Dubai skyline setting, retro-American décor and a bar-and-lounge atmosphere. You can come for dinner, cocktails, themed music nights or brunch; the most talked-about orders include southern fried chicken, fish tacos, Death by Chocolate and the Scarlet Witch drink. The views are the clearest draw, especially around dinner, with reviewers mentioning downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa.
Inside, paintings, candles, sofas and old-style furnishings give the room a polished saloon character. The mood can stay relaxed for couples or friends, then become livelier with DJs, Friday music and party-style evenings. Saturday brunch is a four-hour format with food, cocktails and fresh juices.
Service is usually described as warm, attentive and helpful with menu suggestions. Still, experiences are not perfectly consistent: one table received a dry, room-temperature steak and lamb chops that needed returning, while another large group reported a very slow kitchen. Drinks can also take longer when the room is crowded, and some menu choices have been unavailable.
Reserve ahead, ask about seating zones, and order drinks early on busy nights.
