The Agency Wine Bar in Dubai

I was in Dubai over the weekend and decided to use the opportunity to check out some of the local wine bars. The first one I went to was The Agency.

Located along the Boulevard of The Emirates Towers The Agency is a real gem. They have a selection of several hundred wine, including more than 60 by the glass and a few featured exclusives.

All of the major wine regions, both old and new world, were well-represented, and there were some surprises, like wine from Lebanon.




The decor is casual and built around the wine. There are large tables for groups of people to get together for happy hour, and small intimate tables for couples who want a night out. Everywhere you turn there are wine bottles, both regular and oversized.

The service was great too. Putty, my Sommelier for the evening guided me through several different glasses, and regions. All excellent choices and even threw in a few free glasses (always a bonus).

I definitely recommend checking it out when you are in Dubai.
