Where the work-hard, party-hard people go to unwind – and it’s a great choice because it combines the varied dimensions of DIFC luxury, delicious and proper restaurant food, dazzling full-service cocktail bar, extraordinary shisha, and an atmosphere straight into the next century!

Basically, you’re on a terrace in one of Dubai trendiest districts…

… and if you look up from your sofa, this is what you see:

What a feeling!

You feel like you’re on top of the DIFC world.

A world of dare, of calculated entrepreneurial risk, of pushing the boundaries – of life, of work, of leisure.

This is who you are – this is where you’ve reached.

And AER is where the action’s at.

But the surprise was the food!

So many cocktail lounges impress on the drinks and atmosphere front, but then they fall the moment you order something to eat.

It seems they can do one or the other, but not both.

AER instead is a natural multi-tasker!

An eclectic menu – Italian, Japanese, Lebanese, and Chinese – but there’s no conflict of interest… all are there to delight you equally, depending on how you’re feeling.

And all were delicious!

From the beef sliders,

to the tuna sashimi!

Check this out for freshness!

Five-star restaurant fare – very impressive for a locale with Dubai’s longest bar!

And a separate cocktail bar second to none!

And a selection of seating options according to your mood.

And the decor is funky, yet classy – and always a surprise around the corner!

This is the kind of restaurant / bar that becomes your second home…

But wait!

I haven’t even touched the surface of the exceptional food on offer!

Nor the drinks…

Chinese dumplings, made fresh on the premises…

And tasting fresh!

And dips and salads and pastas, and a shout out for the guacamole and pesto bread – fantastic!

And, overall, it’s just an elegant place – a place to lounge after work, or to enjoy a late night, or even a dinner in between.

Above all it’s chic and cool.

Here’s your sofa,

become a regular,

Just let your friends know: “I’ll be at AER…”
