Table bookings in Dubai, explained

Booking a table is the easiest way into Dubai’s busiest clubs — especially on weekends. But minimum spends, deposits and table types can be confusing. Here is everything you need to know before you book.

What does minimum spend mean?

The minimum spend is the total your group commits to spend at the table that night — on bottles, drinks or food. It is not a booking fee or an entry charge on top. If your table’s minimum spend is AED 3,000, you order up to that amount and pay the venue at the end of the night.

How much does a table cost in Dubai?

It depends on the venue, the night and where the table is. As a rough guide:

• Standard tables on popular weekend nights often start around AED 2,000–4,000.

• VIP tables near the DJ booth or stage usually cost more.

• Weeknights are often cheaper than Friday and Saturday.

Every event page on The Night Circle shows the current table options and minimum spends — see all events.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Some venues ask for a deposit to hold a table on busy nights. When they do, the deposit normally counts toward your minimum spend. Your host will tell you up front if one is needed.

How many people can sit at a table?

Standard tables usually fit around four to six guests, and larger VIP tables more. If your group grows on the night, the venue may ask for a higher minimum spend.

Is VAT and service included?

Ask before you confirm. Many venues include VAT in their prices, but some add a service charge on top.

Tips before you book

• Arrive on time: tables can be released if you are very late.

• Agree how you will split the bill before the night starts.
