NYX

A speakeasy bar/club under the Greek restaurant Gaia, named in honor of Nyx, the goddess of chaos and night. To enter, you must go down a staircase and find a secret door, which shouldn’t be a problem considering even celebrities can do it — this place has been visited by Rita Ora, 50 Cent, and A$AP Rocky. The local design is conceptually different from the restaurants as it’s a retro vibe with a red velvet couch, a bright blue rug, and a mirrored ceiling. The DJs play here throughout the week, so feel free to stop by even on the days that the DIFC is in slumber.
