International Women’s Day falls on 8 March and Dubai has some exciting plans in store. From happy hours you can enjoy with your BFFs to ladies’ night by the beach, and special brunches, Dubai is going all out in celebrating women. So, gather your girl gang, put on those party shoes and get grooving!
1. Break The Mid-Week Monotony At Bombay Borough
The Happy Hours in Bombay Borough traces its roots back to the prohibition times in Bombay. During this time, consuming certain drinks was a taboo. To get around restrictions, ladies served prohibited drinks from their houses, though informal bars or the ‘Aunty Bars’.
Happy Hours at Bombay Borough, is a throwback to those epic times, with some great Pauwa Cocktails and other drinks inspired by the ‘Aunty Bars’. Buy the first and get the second on the house!
When: Daily, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm
2. Ladies Night Feels Right At Kanteen
