Shiba Bar, Jumeirah The Meydan


Located on the lobby level of the plush new race-side hotel, Shiba Bar brings a taste of Japan to Dubai, with a chic, urban twist on traditional décor. For those looking for more than beverages, there is also the Shiba Restaurant nearby.
Commenting on the Shiba offering, hotel general manager Abdin Nasrallah notes that it has “a fantastic bar setup”, revealing that he personally chose the chairs and cushions for the outlet.


“We have created a food court of sorts, overlooking the track, off the hotel’s main lobby — the bar and lounge and ballrooms and all-day dining and the Asian restaurant and bar are within easy reach, all on one floor, which makes it easier for guests to shop around and to choose where they want to go,” he explains.

Coming from an F&B background, Nasrallah does not underestimate the importance of good service in his outlets: “Serving doesn’t just mean giving a tray of food; it’s learning how to talk to people, how to make others happy, how to give people what they want; and it gives great satisfaction when you realise you have done that.”
