Jack Osbourne, Joanna Page and Stacey Shipman at Barasti!

At first it looked like any other busy Thursday night at Barasti, spirits high as we celebrated the launch of the new Barasti on Tour until a few surprise guests joined the party! Jack Osbourne (son of the legendary Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne), Joanna Page (best know for her current role as Stacey Shipman in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey) and Reggie Yates (the British TV/Radio personality) all came to see what Dubai’s award-winning bar was all about.

Friendly and sociable they all happily posed for pictures and mingled with regulars, explaining that they were currently in Dubai filming for Jack Osboune’s reality TV show, Adrenalin Junkie. During their short stop in Dubai they experienced the highs of camel polo and the thrill of powerboat racing.
