The Middle East's first TVM Irish bar is opening in Abu Dhabi

TVM Bar has officially launched at The Galleria Al Maryah Island. It’s the first of its kind in Europe and now the Middle East due to a cool twist; this bar serves only unlicensed drinks. (They don’t like the word “mocktail” – there’s nothing faux about these flavours).

Looking to add something new to your nightlife regime? TVM Bar is supposed to have all the look, feel and excitement of a “regular” bar, just without hops, grapes and mixed bevvies. Instead, this one-of-a-kind wellbeing bar serves up yummy bites and multi-layered, aromatic faux drinks.

TVM drinks creator, Anna Walsh, has built a drinks menu that is designed to excite and surprise you, including some interesting food and drink pairings. TVM Abu Dhabi will also be recruiting several Irish team members for front of house to bring TVM’s unique Irish personality to the Abu Dhabi branch.

There are more exciting things to look forward to at the Galleria Al Maryah Island. Din Tai Fung, a world-renowned Taiwanese restaurant is coming there in early 2022. The Dubai branch is one of our favourite spots as a former Time Out Award winner, and it’s easy to see why. Featuring meaty soups, noodles, and the shining star: soup dumplings, it’s a brilliant choice.
