Alcohol in Dubai is notoriously pricey, with pints costing around 45 AED (€11). It is only available in licensed restaurants and bars, which are attached to licensed hotels—supermarkets do not sell alcohol.
However, many establishments offer Happy Hour deals, typically running Monday to Friday from 4PM to 7PM, where you can enjoy discounted drinks.
Mosaico Lounge, Palazzo Versace Hotel
