Hidden Bar

Looking for a juniper-based drink and stunning view in Abu Dhabi? Hidden Bar is an easy choice. Located at the glamorous Rosewood Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island, this not-so-hidden spot is well known for its pretty views and sophisticated vibes.

Walk into Hidden Bar and you’ll find a slick lounge area that strikes a balance between classy and comfortable. Think film noir vibes – you’re going to want to change out of your trainers and shorts to fit in here.

But if the weather is suitable, you should head straight to the terrace. Hop onto one of the comfortable couches; they’re deep enough to allow you to lean all the way back and curl your feet up, if you’re that type. The views of the sparkling city skyline will have you ready to sit here all night.

There are loads (absolutely loads) of juniper-based mixed drinks to choose from. Those are Hidden Bar’s specialty, so if you’re not sure what to get, you should definitely opt for one of those. Other options include a selection of grapes, a few hops and some other mixed drinks. The juniper-based mixed drinks come in big fancy glasses with chunks of fruit – impressive.

This spot doesn’t miss until it’s time to order food. Plates take a long time to come out of the kitchen and when they do arrive, they’re not always screamingly fresh, or worth diverting your dinner plans for.

Hidden Bar is brilliant for a drink but when it comes to the food, you might want to have a gander at one of the other restaurants on Al Maryah Island.
