A fire that broke out at Barasti beach bar earlier this morning has been swiftly brought under control with no casualties reported, the venue has confirmed

Photos and videos began to circulate on social media early Monday, 3 June, showing large plumes of smoke rising from the edge of Dubai Marina, billowing into the sky near the entrance to Dubai Harbour and the W Dubai – Mina Seyahi.

The fire started at the beach shack bar down on the sand at Barasti but was quickly contained.

Barasti shared a statement on Instagram stories, announcing that the restaurant and summer tent will remain operational as usual today and going forward.

However, the pool and beach area will be closed until further notice.

So, if you’re planning to head down for drinks in the temperature-controlled tent or the shaded restaurant, you can still expect to visit as normal.

Do note, however, that the pool and beach facilities will be unavailable for the time being.
