Abu Dhabi NightlifeWhile quieter than Dubai, Abu Dhabi has a very festive
nightlife; most of the bars and clubs located in the city''s
upmarket hotels, which are allowed to serve alcohol under UAE law.
The nightlife only really kicks off at around 11pm; many venues
have a strict dress code to adhere to but an otherwise relaxed and
safe atmosphere to enjoy. There are a number of English, Mexican
and American-style bars and pubs in Abu Dhabi; some of the most
popular including the Harvester''s Pub at Sands Hotel, the Jazz Bar
at Hemingway''s and the Irish pub at the Abu Dhabi Grand. Live
performances, happy hour, ladies nights and quiz evenings are
regular events in Abu Dhabi bars. The local nightclubs feature
international and local DJs, as well as live performances from Arab
singers and belly dancers. Exotic cocktails, vintage brandies and
Arabic mezzes (snacks) are also offered by most venues. Popular Abu
Dhabi nightclubs include Le Meridien''s Gauloises Club, and the
Tequilana Discotheque at the Hemingway''s complex. |
