Jetty (as only outside) will be still too hot I'd say.
Another nice spot is also rooftop bar (which also has indoor seating and bar) Pure Sky Lounge at the Hilton JBR. And I could crawl home. :D

Talking of drunks... Is our resident EK Webmeister following this? He's not been in touch... PM me - You Know Who You Are.

I can assure you that having been at all the DXB Dos, you have not ended up with *all* the drunks since I was definitely out with a bunch of them (and was also one of them). :D

Soooo...you're joining us?

As for what to do after the brunch - depends on just what levels of rowdiness you want to experience. In order of least to most, a few suggestions:

Stay at the PH for more drinks at The Terrace, overlooking the Creek
As KU104 mentioned, upstairs at Zuma
Atelier M
360
Jetty Lounge/Rooftop at One & Only
Calabar at Address Downtown - overlooking the fountains
.
.
Barasti
Irish Village
Double Deckers

I vote for maximum rowdiness.

We should fix a location soon. :)
Today is quite dry, so outside would be OK I guess.

Is someone offering a villa party as well? :)

I was considering it...had some flights in mind.

I was planning on hopping down to CMB afterwards to set up some positioning flights for a London trip over Christmas but when I worked it all out it got pretty close to ex-JNB DONE4 territory.

Leave it with me, it's still in the back of my mind and I have hotel reservations but it's not super likely at the moment :(

We don't need to fix a location!

Decide after brunch when all the best decisions are made!

That made me Lol. The higher the rowdiness level the more likely a booking is required. Thats always been the case in Dubai for me :D

OK - we're up to 13 for the brunch... Not as many as previous years, but enough for a party :)

There are still a couple of maybes that may push it up.

Cheers

There might be a surprise appearance from a special guest, keep a seat free just in case.

Hi DYKWIA, Nadia and I won't be able to attend anymore - we will be in Dubai for 3 weeks over Christmas though and at the Paris DO!

Thanks,

deirdre Aug 27, 2014 10:24 pm

Bah. Stuff happens, and sometimes that stuff sucks.

Thus, I have to bow out.

DYKWIA Sep 1, 2014 3:19 am

Last call for any late joiners... Let me know ASAP you want adding to the list, so I can let the restaurant know.

Cheers

Any gatherings tonight (Thursday)?
If some people want and are in, let me know and we can organise something.
