Book a table
A busy evening at Misfits

About

Everyone belongs somewhere.

This just happens to be that place.

You don’t need permission.

You don’t need to fit in.

You don’t need to know anyone.

Just pull up a chair.

Who it's for

Anyone who walks in.

  • The one who came alone and doesn’t want it to feel like a statement.
  • The table of workmates who stayed for one and are still here at midnight.
  • The couple on a first date. The couple on a four-hundredth date.
  • The regular whose drink is being poured before they’ve sat down.
  • The person who just moved here on Tuesday and knows precisely nobody.

And what we're not

A scene.

Dubai does glamour brilliantly — the dress codes, the guest lists, the golden-hour photographs — and there are nights made for all of that.

Misfits is simply the other kind of night: the one where nobody's performing, the best seat is next to someone interesting, and comfort outranks impressiveness.

We're the place before the big night out, after it, or happily instead of it.

A letter from Alex

I’ve spent more than twenty-five years building bars and restaurants in the UAE, and I can tell you the ones that last are never the ones with the best fit-out. They’re the ones people feel something about.

Misfits is the place I’d want to find if I’d just landed here and knew no one. A proper local, with proper drinks, that doesn’t take itself too seriously and never makes anyone feel small.

Find your people. If you’re reading this, you might already have.
