Bars and Clubs in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is fast becoming high end party central goers as well as the quintessential location for those after a few quiet drinks at a trendy venue. With the recent surge of new five star hotels over the last few years, many funky new bars and clubs are hitting the scene and with Abu Dhabi flying the F1 Grand Prix flag, this Emirate sure has plenty of nightlife options to keep the tourist busy. All bars and clubs are within the hotel or the hotel complex due to the alcoholic license law. This is a huge benefit when it comes to taxi availability and given the short distances to many venues and ease of taxis within Abu Dhabi city, it’s possible to visit more than one venue on a night and bar hop and with most bars not charging a cover entrance – you might even feel tempted to do this! It’s your choice, whether you decide to dine and drink at the same hotel or cram in three bars in one evening – it will be an experience that you probably won’t get at home.
Abu Dhabi has some really cool bars to keep you occupied on holiday. Even the neighbouring Dubai has some stiff competition to deal with as many Dubai clubs charge a cover fee. For your benefit, we have compiled our own list of the places really worth checking out. We’ve also categorised into sections so you can differentiate between the bling and the chill. The Abu Dhabi scene is relatively new but it sure is happening. And remember, if you drink, drink responsibly.
