How much do soft drinks and alcoholic drinks cost at dinner in Dubai restaurants, and what is included for free?

Under the reported drinks-inclusive arrangement, tea, coffee, juices, soft drinks, standard gin, beer and wine are served at the table at no extra charge. Premium spirits such as Gordon’s and Jack Daniel’s are excluded.

Dinner may include a 1-litre bottle of water. One traveller reported that bar ice and lemons from the salad counter were free, which can help avoid buying cola for about AED 25.

A 330-ml beer was reported at around AED 60 per serving. If you are watching your budget, confirm the drink price before ordering.

The bar reportedly offers white, red and rosé wine, beer, and cocktails. You can describe a preferred mix to the bartender, such as gin with Schweppes, lime, mint, orange and ice.

For a low-key evening with one glass of wine or beer, the reported starting budget is about AED 50. This assumes skipping premium cocktails and extra drinks.
