Dubai’s much-loved nightlife destination is back with a new address and a fresh seaside setting.
Dubai has never been short of glamorous venues, but only a handful have managed to leave a lasting mark on the city’s nightlife scene. Iris is one of them. After building a loyal following with its music-led atmosphere, skyline views and late-night energy, the homegrown favourite is making its return with a new chapter: Iris Harbour.
Set against the backdrop of Dubai Harbour, the venue trades its former cityscape setting for something softer, more scenic and undeniably coastal. Previously located in Meydan, Iris became known for its elevated perch overlooking Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa. Now, with its move to the marina, the concept takes on a fresh identity while retaining the spirit that made it so popular in the first place.
Perched above Bar Du Port and next to Son of A Fish, Iris Harbour leans into its waterfront location with style. Expect sweeping views of the sea, moored yachts and a crowd that arrives for sunset and stays well into the night. The new venue is polished and contemporary, with an outdoor terrace that takes centre stage and sets the tone for the entire experience.
Music remains at the heart of Iris Harbour. The venue continues to champion its signature house sound, creating a smooth transition from relaxed evening drinks to a more vibrant late-night atmosphere. Guests can also look forward to the return of some of Iris’ most popular concepts. Iris Brunch is making a comeback, as are the much-loved Iris Sunsets. A new Ladies’ Night will also join the weekly line-up, giving regulars and newcomers more reasons to make Iris Harbour part of their social calendar.
The drinks list will feature inventive cocktails alongside the classics, while the food menu is expected to focus on sharing plates designed for leisurely evenings with friends.
Opening on 1 April 2026, Iris Harbour marks the return of one of Dubai’s most iconic nightlife brands.
