Under JLT’s neon lights a new option for Dubai teens arrives, focused on music, games, and social independence. The Base opens as the city’s first teen only hangout, built for fifteen to eighteen year olds seeking a safe, supervised space to meet friends, try mocktail making, and enjoy live DJs without the adult crowd.
Dubai’s social scene has a new chapter for teens who want to hang out on their own terms. The Base fills a clear gap between family attractions and adult nightlife by offering spaces designed just for fifteen to eighteen year olds. Founder Lorna Bancroft calls it a place to “be with mates, have fun, and feel that sense of independence they crave,” and the launch night aims to set that tone.
Highlights include a rotating programme of activities that keep every visit fresh. Expect a mix of high energy and relaxed zones with something for every mood:
- Live DJ sets and themed guest nights
- Karaoke booth and arcade games, plus pool and foosball tables
- Mocktail bar with hands on mini workshops and selfie booth
- Chill out corners for low key hangs and study meet ups
The venue is supervised by trained staff and enforces strict entry rules, creating a safe environment parents can trust while teens explore independence. Safety, inclusive programming, and a no parent policy during public hours are central to the concept, giving teens room to grow social skills in a structured setting.
The Base opens officially on Saturday 27th September with a special launch ticket priced at AED 149 for pre bookers. Regular monthly nights will run on the last Saturday of each month with pre book pricing of AED 179 and walk in tickets for AED 199. The space can be reserved for birthdays, graduations and private events, letting teens design their own celebrations in a supervised setting.
Parents who juggle work and family often struggle to find age appropriate options for teens. The Base addresses that need by balancing freedom with oversight, offering an atmosphere where young people practise social skills, collaborate on creative projects, or simply unwind after school. Organisers plan themed takeovers, guest DJ showcases and workshops to spot and support local teen talent, while partnering with schools and youth groups for safe group bookings.
Reserve a spot for the launch or book a private party through the email provided, and follow @weare.thebase for ticket releases and event updates. The Base invites teens to own Saturday nights with friends in a safe, supervised and totally teen centric setting.
