Guarding the entrance to Media City on the Dubai Marina side, this no-nonsense watering hole is perfectly placed to serve those living and working in Media City and the vicinity. It’s clean and casual and encourages conversation by playing its soundtrack loud enough to be heard, but not so ear-piercing to chop up the chatter. The perfect example is Thursday nights, when singer/guitarist Josh McCartney plays ‘Unclubbed’ cover versions of everything from Justin Timberlake to Craig David.

Tuesday night is of course Ladies Night in Dubai, and Qwerty’s ‘She3’ evening offers 3 free glasses for girls from 7pm as well as a female friendly soundtrack from DJ Tim Cheddar. At the weekend it is being kept simple and chilled with a chance to ‘quench and munch’ offering value food and drink offers with not a brunch in sight.

“Qwerty is the perfect place to meet up, rather than roll out of at 3am. It’s somewhere to catch up with friends for a drink, which might turn into two or three”.
