A late review but its surprising that they have close down. Hope they open up soon!!
One of my favourite places to chill out cause they have the best collection of beers n its a buy 1 get 1 on all beers during happy hours. I love to play pool so tats a add in as they have a pool table. The vibes are gr8 n staff is friendly.
I don't think anyone could say that Cocktail Kitchen wasn't nice. It was. Although it was probably not in the right location. There’s no point harking back to the past and I guess the folk at Koji had the same feeling or maybe they just wanted to try something different. Who’s knows how Axe was born.
Great vibe and great food.
Good assortment of veggie food too!
Really obsessed with their bang bang cauliflower!
Good quality roast dinner on the weekend too, great deal with the options and always leave feeling stuffed!
The variety of beer on tap in Dubai is satisfactory but you always crave for more,
Some less popular brand and craft is what allures me, my search is always on as I love beer to the core.
And voila this place opened right here in JLT, it's like my prayers were answered,
I frequent this place every now and then, my beer belly has surely become fatter.
Their happy hours deals are enticing, well it was even more earlier when the complete menu was part of it,
Now they have got it limited, but their beer of the month is generally there which is definitely a treat.
Ooh their cocktails are brilliant, sweet and potent as described by the mrs.,
Jiu Jitsu and Sand in the pants deserves a special mention and it's not to be missed.
As for my beer, my pictures does more justice and is worth a thousand words and visits,
All beer lovers must come here, I still have the food to try though, but purely for beer this place no other place beats.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that the old Cocktail Kitchen changed hands and had a serious makeover late last year. More like some hipster artists ran rampant with some spray cans, sandpaper, and the materials for decoupage and gave it a bit of a beating. The management of the premises actually changed over completely so even though the layout and fittings remain the same, gone are the sleek feel and sophisticated pretense. This is Axe House where, frankly, you’re simply going for a good beer, good food, and a good time. Their aim is to deliver hip, artsy, eclectic London vibes – and by London, I don’t mean Regent Street or the City of London. I mean Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalston, Spitalfields, peeps.
We went here on a ladies night. As expected it was busy. But the front desk was friendly and very clear to us that only chance was the bar area. We went in, bar was busy too. We found our small spot after 10mins. We were hungry but we can only order small plates as no space for the food and we were standing. The people were louder than the music. But it was a good vibe. A really good break from workdays. Btw, the boneless chicken tasted superb! Definitely will go back again!
Axe house is a great place to chill. It has great crowd. The waiter and staff is very kind and helpful. It is my go to place when you can’t think of anything else. Drinks and food is great. Had great offers and deals most days. It has a pool table and air hockey table. The decor is simple and just right.
We went there for our friend’s birthday brunch. She loved the vibe of the place. Ambience is great. Staff is friendly. Food is delicious especially chicken wings.
Axe house has quite an interesting concept and casual vibes :)
The food menu is very impressive (especially the vegan selection)!!
Great place for beer lovers👌
The only minus is the smell of cigarettes after it gets crowded :(
My wife and I come here at least once a week (as it’s just next door!) the staff are amazingly friendly and always greet us with a smile. Maybe because we are here just as often as they are 😂.
The food is seriously good and always leaves us with a full stomach and a smile on our face
11 out of 10!
Nice place to enjoy beers (good selection, not just the standard three) and the music is the right volume, not too blasting. I haven't tried food yet, I hope to next time.
Great place. Really happy and friendly vibes. The bar tenders definitely love their jobs - the drinks are amazing and delicious. Try the cocktails it won’t let you down!
What a gem of a place.... #Axehouse has become a regular spot for me. Delish food... best happy hour in town and the staff... never have I come across such experienced friendly staff that will go out of their way to help you. #Sherwin and #Francis, thank you for your outstanding service every time I come to Axe. If you haven’t been yet head on down, you won’t be disappointed. They also do a #roast on a #Saturday and #Sunday. Beef brisket tacos are yum and their chicken Kiev burger that is served in a black bun... to die for. Thank you Axe House.
Very spacious restaurant with very friendly staffs plus variety of beers added, what could we hope more? Actually only the problem was there were half of kinds of beer available on the menu but still the good chilled beer (Peroni) tasted nice and seafood tacos was just awesome.

Just love the quirky decor! Nice atmosphere & vegan options (heaven) delicious fries. The three Bean chilli is good, calling all vegans it's worth a visit, & that's not all happy hour is daily.
Went for Friday brunch here and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. It's not a buffet foodie affair but the brought to table offerings were well cooked and varied. We particularly liked the fish and chips! The staff were attentive and did very well considering how busy it was. The bar has a good selection of beers and carried on the after brunch spirit.

Yesterday we DRUNCHED at @axehousedxb
DRUNCH : early DINNER and Late LUNCH.
.
Well that's what happens at 5pm.
.
If you love Fish.. and that fish is Salmon, then you should have the grilled salmon on the bed of aalo tikki. Yes you heard me right. It was on top of a potato cutlet, sounds better when I say AALO TIKKI.served with broccoli so that you don't miss out on your green.
.
The godzilla sized, Jumbo Tiger Prawns was not to be missed if you are a seafood food lover.serced with rocket leaves and a chilling oil. Honestly there was no sides required with this, it was flavorful on its own.
.
@axehousedxb had a very kids friendly menu that offered EVERYTHING the kids love to eat these days.
Dua ordered Fish and Chips.. and apart from the usual tartar dip, it came with mashed PEAS.. and Dua liked it 😮😮.. ( tears of Happiness)
.
Nyle wanted to try Meatballsnwith spaghetti and it was fun to watch him struggle eat that.. I had to demonstrate him the fork movements and Monica @monfar17 was guiding him how to slurp.
He did it!!
.
The sticky Toffee pudding turned out to be their fav from yesterday's dessert.
.
And my kids were kept enagaged with the coloring kit they received at the beginning of the evening.. and once that was done, they very friendly staff kept them busy with drawings until we stuffed out faces.
Thank you so much @axehousedxb had an amazing time with the well prepared cocktails and loved your concept of upscale recycling. We tried the squid appetizer and fried cauliflower along with the roast which has some delicious options. Ending on a sweet note we had the sticky toffee pudding along and the Eton mess which was fresh cream and mixed berries. Great service and hospitality, loved the cool decor too. Do visit @axehousedxb
Having the roast is definitely a good way to spend your afternoon, with the cool innovative drinks. Loved the portion size and it is quite filling too. The overall service and vibe was amazing. Cant wait to visit Axe house again.
Ladies night, music was lovely, decent crowd. It is so hard to find a decent place on ladies night, most of the places are jammed offering crappy selection. We ordered few bites as well which was perfect with our drinks, to be repeated soon...

It was my 1st time here and without any reviews or recommendations, I decided to take a chance of hosting our company party at Axe House. And it was a hit !!! We had planned a Sony team party at Axe House, which was very well planned and executed thanks to Richard Judd over a couple of weeks. Richard was quick in responding to my emails, concerns, requests and more ad-hoc requests :). This is just the beginning to the amazing part. The team put together by Richard - Francis, Rachel, Irina and Inna to host 45 of us at Axe house was simply brilliant. They were quick, agile, flexible and responded to our every request in every bit of politeness and friendliness they possessed. The place was electrifying and the 8 tables in a not-too-noisy section cordoned off for us made up for a great evening. We ordered a lot of appetizers and mains and trust me, every single dish tasted heavenly ! Special mention to the Boneless Reggae Chicken wings, Chargrilled King Prawns and Paddington's Picnic. The ambiance, hospitality (which is a big positive), courtesy, mouth-watering food and an excellent happy hour selection totally makes up for a very cool drinks and dining concept in Dubai !
Out with the old and in with the new. Taking cues from London's artsy inner city locales, the Axe has ditched the oh so cliched, refined cocktail feel and restyled the joint as a scuffed up, reclaimed wood tabled, graffiti trashed walled venue that offers a sense of realness and accessibility that few other new entrants to Dubai's nightlife scene have delivered.
Nice place for a casual night out. Good happy hours. Service was good. Just had bites with the drinks. The atmosphere was good for a weekend night.

Friday Brunch - We were so excited as we’d heard very positive vibes about this place! The service was absolutely awesome! From arriving to a full bottle of vodka, to constant top ups, we loved every minute! The Frozee was the best we have had in Dubai and the Bloody Mary was on point, just what we needed to cure a slight hangover lol! We had the fizz package (the bubbles went to our heads by 2pm lol)🥂🥂The concept is sharing platters style, served at your table! Choose from a selection of starter and main platters and individual portion for dessert 😜 Now we are always slightly fussy with food and this place were more than accommodating when we wanted to switch an item on the sharing platter! Pani Puri, Prawn Cocktail, Chicken Sliders, Calimari, Hard Shell Seafood Tacos, Apple Crumble and much more! Music was fantastic and the atmosphere was awesome! Highly recommended Lovelies and we will, FOR SURE, be going again!!! Massive thanks to our waiter Adrian who was fantastic throughout the whole day! #dubai #dxb #dubaibrunch #happy #jlt #vodka #party #vibes #friend #food #foodie #foodblogger #ukbloggers #dubaiblogger #uk #expat #weekend #fun #wine #vodka #shots #eat #foodporn #amazing #worldclass #freeflow #review #dubaimarina #brunch #weekend #eat
Not for the first time in this place, very tasty dishes, especially like Grilled chicken fajita wraps, a large and very tasty portion. The atmosphere and service here is also magnificent!
Special thanks to the girl named Asel.
Love to come back here.. Nice Ambiance and the service was just amazing! I went last tuesday for the ladies night with a friend and we both love it there.
Stunning beer selection, but not quite my type of food.
Fair disclosure: I love craft beer and don't particularly like British food - not even the British versions of Asian food. It's all just a bit bland for my liking. That being said, I think this really is the best beer selection in Dubai. Maybe Black Tap has a few more American crafts on tap, but I'd say these guys have the best overall selection. The food is... well, it seems like a decent representation of "Brit Pub Noveau" - but you're gonna have to get someone else to give that a proper review.
So yeah, go for the beer - if only to ensure that Dubai continues its dabble in the craft beer market. If you like fancy British pub food, go for that too.

It was my second visit to Axe House and the venue was much busier than last time with pretty much every table occupied. The menu included most of the usual food types i.e salad, steak, fish and a range of desserts. Meals were reasonably priced and there is a daily 241 happy hour on drinks. Service was slower on this occasion, due to the volume of people dining. For our main courses we ordered tagliatelle with asparagus and spinach, black angus beef burger with black bun and rack of lamb. We found all three dishes lacked seasoning. For dessert we ordered Apple crumble, sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess, all of which were tasty and adequately sized portions. Not long after we were seated, the music volume was increased making conversation rather difficult. All in all we did have a pleasant experience and will go back again.
Been here probably 10 times and still loving the place. Great ambience, nice crowd, amazing food and excellent service. Special thanks to Master for taking care of us so well and having fun with us. Might also be going there now :p
Great laid back trendy bar and lounge at the heart of JLT.
Serving some good craft beers and delicious finger bites. Would go again to enjoy these halloumi sticks, breaded cauliflower with ranch, the delicious chicken baos and the beef ribs. All were delicious and a great accompaniment for your drinks 🍹
Axe House Dubai is a casual craft hop and dining concept serving up simple wholesome dishes, experimental cocktails with a friendly neighborhood atmosphere. As you enter the place, you will immediately have that cool London spirit and the eclectic vibes of areas like Shoreditch, Dalston, and Hoxton.
Axe House is the new restaurant in place of popular-but-short-lived Cocktail Kitchen in the Armada Hotel, so the wife and I thought we’d drop in for a spot of lunch after it was highly recommend by our good buddy Courtney (atozaatar). It was pretty quiet when we arrived and we were seated in a weird “is it inside or is it out?” area, facing the bar. Our smiley server came over, explained their awesome happy hour (buy one get one free on EVERYTHING on the drinks menu!) and left us to make our minds up.
Brilliant place easy to get to, amazing staff!The good place to hang out with friends over the weekend and have some nice cold beverage.extraordinary service, definitely gonna suggest this place for friends gathering... special thanks to JR for taking care of us...
I really like the decor and ambiance of this place. It is a different sort of atmosphere.
They have a great happy hour and ladies night.All staff is friendly and welcoming.
The drinks are all good.
Their shorts ribs are my fav.
Previously Cocktail house, it’s Axe House now..it was packed with brunchers on a Friday afternoon. We ordered some cocktails, it was too sweet for my taste. The happy hour is buy one get one free, so I got another one of the same drink..portion was very small, too! Music is very nice and the place has a cool vibe...the food looked fancy, may try it another time.
Amazing ambience and great food. We ordered the Braised Brisket Tacos which came with the most amazing chimichuri sauce. Also ordered the Chicken Baos and the Donatella Kebab which was great. Best selection of beers in JLT. Definitely recommend Axe House to anyone looking for a great time.
I really like the decor and ambiance of this place. It used to be cocktail kitchen, and now Axe house has opened with almost the same layout but a different sort of atmosphere.
I've been here twice so far. They have a great happy hour and ladies night.
The drinks are all good.
For food we had 4 appetizers
The shorts ribs - very good
Cauliflower - very good
Calamari- excellent
Cheese sticks - very good
As for the main course, I wish I could say the same. We ordered the sirloin steaks and they were not good at all. Even after returning the plates and talking the manager who was very lovely and cooperative.
We will come back again and hopefully the kitchen will get the main courses right this time.
One of the new places which opened up in 2017 and i loved the most. I had a mix feeling while i entered here as this place used to be cocktail kitchen which was one of my favorites too. Visited here on a weekend and it was buzzing with super lively crowd, managed to take up seats at the bar as it was full. The ambience seemed too perfect after a long day to chill out. They had very good deals on beers and we tried Franziskaner which was excellent. Though busy the staff were lovely and quick.
Axe House is a perfect hang out for after work drinks with friends or office buddies as it’s located in the DMCC district and obviously licenced. With multiple zones within the restaurant including a bar, non-smoking and smoking areas, Stoli play lounge and high pub tables, drinks often lead to a dinner and a fun night out.
Axe House serves London street food from the every corner of that cosmopolitan city. Expect to see jerk chicken, nachos, fried mozzarella, shrimps, fish and chips, sliders and a lot more on the menu. All served with a dash of creativity and appropriate sauces. Don’t skip the famous dessert; you crush it with a hammer (house rules)

Great happy hour deal. 2 for 1 till 8pm on everything off the drinks menu. My husband and I tried the calamari and brisket tacos for starters with some sparking bubbles... yumm@
Went for ladies night very cool place .. enjoyed fully with loud music, drinks and snacks - will def come again .. feel of the place is amazing !
Friends will know more often than not, for much of 2017, there were a few reliable venues in my life — Nola, Cocktail Kitchen, and Lucky Voice. These places always provided the kind of atmosphere I was looking for — with out of town friends, for after work drinks, or, just to sing and have fun. Thus, when Cocktail Kitchen announced it was closing, I was sad. They will be relocating, but not to my neighborhood. So, when Axe House was advertised, I was a bit wary.
Axe house is a great place for beer lovers with a dozen taps, awesome service and wonderful vibe. This time I came for a pint but coming for dinner soon.

Axe House is another new bar and restaurant in Dubai and we took a few friends along to check the place out. We went out on a Tuesday night which is ladies night at most bars in Dubai, however Axe House have an alternative ladies night called 'friends with benefits'girls get 4 free drinks and there is a 2 for 1 offer for everyone until midnight and 50% off food for mixed groups, pretty good right? The place looks great, it's super urban and there is a pool and ice hockey table which is quite fun to have. There were a few things we didn't feel too comfortable about which was the huge amount of smoke (even though we were sitting in a non-smoking area) the smoke filled up the place it actually made our eyes water and also the music was extremely loud specially for a restaurant/bar, we had to shout at our friends as none of us could hear a word the other person was saying. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. We ordered a few things off the menu, halloumi fries, scampi and chips, onion rings, chocolate smash and much more. The food came out fast and hot but the food wasn't as good as we hoped it would be, the ribs came with the smallest amount of mash and the scampi was over cooked it almost looked black. We did enjoy the onion rings and the ribs were tasty. I think if we do visit again we might just have a few drinks and nibbles and not a full meal. The desserts were awesome, we got to smash one of the desserts which was quite fun. We also had the Eton mess, it wasn't like your typical Eton mess but we did enjoy it.

The fact that they asked me what kind of spirit I'd like with my old fashioned, I'm not sure why, but it gave me hope that art wasn't lost, even though though they use a lot ice cubes in the drink, which is a big no-no, but honestly, in this region, who uses one big ice cube anyways. The mixolgist added a cherry, which I'm not really used to. At this point, I feel every bar had their own take on the old fashioned, and I wish to try them all.
I came here at noon, and the energy here feels like the aftermath of a night full of love.
