Although ladies’ nights in Abu Dhabi have undoubtedly changed, there are still plenty of deals to be had in the capital.
Whether you fancy a night out at a good old-fashioned pub or a super Instagrammable hot spot, there’s something for everyone.
Here’s our ultimate guide to ladies’ nights in Abu Dhabi.
Aquarium Seafood Restaurant
The Breeze ladies’ night at Aquarium Seafood Restaurant on Tuesdays is easy breezy, with unlimited house beverages between 6pm and 9pm for Dhs55. Then on Wednesdays, all ladies can enjoy the same deal for free while dining, or on Saturday, you can grab a tapas platter and unlimited house beverages for Dhs65. Three ladies’ nights a week? Sounds like three great nights out to us.
