Barfly by Buddha-Bar
You’ll find Buddha-Bars around the world, but there’s no place like home, which is why we’re such fans of the one in Venetian Village. Featuring stunning views, plus a Wednesday night that’s all about the ladies, it’s a great place to find yourself. Ladies will get 50 percent off food and free flowing house beverages for Dhs99 between 8pm and 11pm.
Wed 8pm-11pm. Venetian Village, The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal (056 177 7557).
Cho Gao
It might not be in the swankiest of hotels, but that’s no reason to turn your nose up at Cho Gao. In fact, its unpretentious vibe makes us love it even more. The pan-Asian restaurant (a former Best Asian winner at the Time Out Abu Dhabi Restaurant Awards), has been going for a fair few years now, and we still return to it whenever we can. Ladies get four drinks for Dhs50 on Mondays between 6pm and 9pm, and 25 percent off the full food menu. We’re talking Sriracha chilli prawns, wok-fried vegetables with rice, and mango with sticky rice. Could you ask for more on a ladies’ night? Yum.
Mon 6pm-9pm. Crowne Plaza Abu Dhabi, Hamdan Street (02 616 6149).
Easy Tiger
This deal has us gobsmacked. You’ll struggle to find a more generous foodie ladies’ night in Abu Dhabi, with unlimited sparkling grape and house beverages plus unlimited bites too. Don’t go easy (tiger) on the snacks, it’s time to sink your teeth (and claws) into this deal.
Dhs50. Tue 8pm-11pm. Al Ain Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi Corniche (02 678 0522).
Iris Yas Island
Love sushi? Maki your ladies’ night even more special with this deal at Iris Yas Island. Ladies head to this posh spot with gorgeous views of the water and you’ll get unlimited maki rolls and bubbly for Dhs199. This swanky spot is far more happening than your average lounge bar, but prettier and less intense than one of the bigger venues. During the winter the outdoor terrace is a smash hit, but don’t sleep on this spot in the summer either. It’s pretty all year round.
Dhs199. Tue 8pm until late. Yas Marina, Yas Island (055 160 56 36).
Jazz & Fizz Bar
If you love jazz, nights out, or getting a good discount on your dinner, you’re going to love this deal at Jazz & Fizz Bar. Gather up the gals and head to this spot at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche for a foodie ladies’ night. Ladies grab unlimited house grape and 50 percent off food at Jazz & Fizz Bar. Conversation is easy, and this spot provides the perfect lowkey night with the ladies.
Tue 6pm-3am. Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche, Capital Plaza Complex (02 813 7777).
La Brasserie at Venetian Village
Looking for free-flowing drinks and a platter of delicious French fare? Uhhh, who would say no? Ladies head to La Brasserie on a Monday and you’ll get unlimited beverages plus a platter of food for Dhs123. If the platter is anything like what we order when we go for lunch or dinner, we’re in for a real treat. We’ll see you there.
Dhs123 (free flowing beverages and a platter of food per person). Mon 7pm-10pm. The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal, Khor Al Maqta (02 404 1931).
Loca
This Mexican bar is notorious for hosting some of the most popular nights out in the city, playing a brilliant mix of retro and current tunes, for having a buzzing bar area and, of course, those legendary bowls of guacamole. The outdoor terrace just happens to be one of the top places in the city for watching the sunset, too. Ladies head to this spot on Wednesday from 7pm to midnight to get a starter, a main course, and unlimited Mexican mixed drinks for Dhs145. Be sure to arrive hungry.
Dhs145. Wed 7pm-midnight. The Galleria Al Maryah Island (02 582 3639).
PJ O’Reilly’s
PJ O’Reilly’s is an Abu Dhabi staple for good reason. We can’t think of anywhere that fits the idea of a proper pub more than this spot. Worn around the edges? Sure, but a range of regulars and good-value drinks plus classic pub grub makes it an easy choice. Ladies head there for free-flowing beverages and unlimited bites for Dhs100 from Saturday to Wednesday for a foodie ladies’ night. It’s a pretty sweet deal in the city’s oldest Irish establishment, and you certainly won’t go hungry.
Dhs100. Sat-Wed 5pm-10pm. Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa Street (02 695 0515).
Stills
