Blu Sky Lounge & Grill
The sports bar has great deals, decent bar food and plenty of screens showing games. It doesn’t have the cosy feel of some places but we still like it.
Open Sun-Thu 3pm-3am; Fri-Sat noon-3aqm. Southern Sun Abu Dhabi, Mina Street (02 818 4888).
Captain’s Arms
A British-style pub that’s a real throwback to the watering holes in England. Popualted mainly with expats and serving cut-price pints.
Open daily noon-12.30am. Le Méridien Abu Dhabi, Al Zahiya (02 644 6666).
The Tavern
It’s right on the edge of Al Zahiya, but we promise its within the border. Another English-style pub showing football and providing live music.
Open daily noon-2am. Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort, Corniche East (02 697 0260).
