Where to watch the Miami GP in Dubai
- AMG Kaffeehaus
A solid pick for Mercedes fans. Entry costs AED 50, and the full amount goes toward food and drinks - Buffalo Wings and Rings
Screens are placed across the venue showing the race along with other sports. It’s best to reserve a table and mention you’re coming in for Formula 1 - Mezzanine Bar & Kitchen, Souk Madinat Jumeirah
A British gastropub that shows every session live, including the midnight race - Offside Sports Bar
Multiple screens inside plus outdoor seating if the weather holds up. The venue is also pet-friendly, so your dog can tag along - The Black Sheep British Gastropub, JLT

Whether you’re following every session or just showing up for the main race, Dubai has plenty of spots where staying up late actually feels worth it.
And if you’re already thinking about where to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026, Dubai is also getting a large fan zone this summer, so you’ll have a place to watch the matches with a loud crowd and good food.
