Celebrating the best of the season
If escaping to the Amalfi Coast isn’t on the cards this summer, ICD Brookfield Place has the next best thing. From 13 July to 16 August, the DIFC destination is transforming its Summer Court into a European-inspired hotspot packed with spritzes, food pop-ups, live entertainment and even indoor pickleball.
The headline attraction is Summer Spritzers, a weekly after-work series taking place every Thursday from 4pm. Expect rotating takeovers from some of ICD Brookfield Place’s standout restaurants, each serving exclusive seasonal cocktails and specially curated menus inspired by summer flavours.

The line-up includes:

- 23 July: The Guild
- 30 July: Lulu & The Beanstalk
- 6 August: Il Gattopardo
- 13 August: Josette
Alongside the food, visitors can sip signature serves from dedicated Aperol Spritz and Malfy Gin bars, browse local pop-ups, enjoy live music and try their luck at interactive games with prizes up for grabs.
The summer programme isn’t only about aperitivo hour. Sports fans can book a game on a fully air-conditioned indoor pickleball court, created in partnership with Picklers and open daily throughout the event. Sessions can be reserved through the Picklers app.

Art lovers are also in for a treat. In August, internationally renowned artist duo Craig & Karl will unveil Solstice, a colourful large-scale installation featuring playful inflatable flowers, beach balls and a radiant sun suspended within the venue’s soaring atrium.
Whether you’re after post-work drinks, a weekend activity or somewhere to escape Dubai’s heat, ICD Brookfield Place is turning its Summer Court into one of the city’s most exciting seasonal destinations. With great food, refreshing drinks, culture and indoor sport all under one roof, this is one summer pop-up worth adding to your diary.
