12 Abu Dhabi Ladies Nights to Try

Barbossa

Yas Bay Waterfront

BEST FOR: an epic party

Thursday is so close to the weekend, you can almost taste it – and taste it you will at Barbossa’s ladies night: it’s a fiesta of epic proportions. Kicking off from 8PM, girls get unlimited classic margaritas, prosecco, house wine or spirits for three hours with an AED150 minimum spend, all too easy to cover with the tasty Mexican menu on offer. Do yourself a favour and try the birria tacos and the flautas and finish off with some excellent churros ... go on, you know you want to!

You’ll be struggling to stay in your seat as the DJ spins dancefloor-friendly beats, while dancers entertain the crowd and keep the mood amped up to the max. We challenge you not to join in!

For more of what Barbossa has to offer, their Saturday brunch is a must try too!

Nothing gets us over the mid-week slump more than bottomless cocktails – yes, you read that right: unlimited drinks for ladies every Wednesday for three whole hours at the Middle East's first ever microbrewery - for just AED99! For a funky twist, Craft’s cocktails are kegged and ready to be poured straight from the tap – speedy and delicious. Choose from house-made espresso martini, Moscow mule, paloma or Aperol spritz – or if you’re as indecisive as us, sample them all with one of Craft’s iconic cocktail flights.

Not a cocktail connoisseur? Free-flow beer and house wines are included too, and be sure to spring for something tasty from the food menu – with some of the best pub grub in Abu Dhabi, it’s not to be missed!

Sorso

The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi Grand Canal

BEST FOR: the best live music in Abu Dhabi

Kick off your winter season right with Sorso’s new ladies night. It has all our favourite things: a fab beverage package, tasty bar bites, a pocket-friendly price tag (AED111) and best of all, live music! Sorso's incredible 4-piece band is smooth, and they know all the classics - you'll find no karaoke here! Be prepared to dance up a storm!

Any night out at The Ritz-Carlton feels like a treat - walking in against a backdrop of the Grand Mosque adds a massive glam factor - but this ladies night makes a mid-week visit a must! 

Timing: Wednesdays | from 6PM onwards

Price: AED111 | 2 hour house beverage package + 2 bites 

Bookings: +971 2818 8203

The Overlook

The WB Abu Dhabi Yas Island

BEST FOR: the most incredible Yas Island views

The Overlook bar at the top of the WB Hotel sports one of Abu Dhabi's best infinity pools and definitely one of Abu Dhabi's best views! For just AED50 per person ladies get three drinks and 50% discount off the menu as well as pool access. It's one of Abu Dhabi's most underrated bars and we're totally here for it.

Timing: Tuesdays 6PM - 9PM

Price: AED50 per person

Booking: 02 815 0000

‍

Raclette Brasserie and Cafe

Mamsha Al Saadiyat

BEST FOR: good food

There are so many good things to say about this ladies night. First, it's on a Friday - maybe the only guaranteed night of the week that women actually want to get out of the house! Second, Raclette is so pretty, both inside and on the terrace, it's impossible not to feel the good vibes.

But it's the ladies night package that we think really turns this from a doable to a must-do! For just AED180, you get to choose a main dish - we love the mussels and the gorgeous salads, but for the more hungry among us, the risotto is good and the tagliatelle fresh from the parmesan wheel is hard to go past - and unlimited drinks.

The cocktails were excellent. All the martinis are more than up-to-scratch (the passionfruit martini is a favourite with the BB team!), and if you have a chat with the lovely person on the phone when you book, they'll do you a selection of what might just be Abu Dhabi's best mocktails which sets them apart from other Abu Dhabi ladies nights. There's also draught beer and wine to choose from, so whatever you fancy, you'll find it. If you'd like prosecco, you can upgrade and pay just AED195.

This is a must-book ladies, don't be hoping to rock up and try for a table: they get busy!

Time: Fridays | 8PM – 11PM

Price: AED 180 (unlimited drinks & one dish) AED 195 to upgrade to bubbly

Bookings: 02 546 2277

Lexx

Grand Hyatt

BEST FOR: terrace vibes

A night out for under AED149? We'll take 2 please!

If you're a city dweller, Lexx ladies night on a Friday is the one for you! Not only is the deal legendary, but the vibe is right on point, especially as we head into the cooler weather: the Lexx terrace offers some of the best views in the city!

For just AED149, you can choose any three drinks from the extensive list on offer, as well as an unlimited supply of the cocktail of the day! You won't go hungry, with a great little tapas and cheese platter with some of the best that Grand Hyatt has to offer!

You'll be entertained by the fantastic live music, from performers who understand the assignment!

Price: AED149

Timings: Fridays | 8PM – 12AM

Marco's Italian

Fairmont Bab al Bahr

BEST FOR: cracking Aperols

After a recent refresh, this ladies night is a must-try - La Dolce Diva is calling, and we’re ready to answer. Channel ultimate Italian summer vacation energy with two hours of unlimited Italian drinks that make for the perfect aperitivo - we were struggling to decide on our favourite spritz.

Our non-drinkers haven’t been forgotten, as the selection of mocktails is delightful too and definitely some of the best around.

A DJ spins some beats to ensure the vibe is high, and it’s an easy choice for just AED70, leaving change for a tasty pizza or some antipasto if you’re peckish.

Timing: Thursdays | 8-10PM

Pricing: AED70

Bookings: +97126543238

Hamilton's Gastropub

Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas

BEST FOR: an amazing Friday night out

Here’s three things we love about this ladies night: 

• It’s on a Friday night, so the perfect way to kick-start your weekend without dealing with a sore head at work the next day! 
• The AED149 price tag includes unlimited drinks for three hours AND light bites - we always rate a ladies night with food included! 
• Live music kicks off from 8PM!

It’s a great night out on Saadiyat - enjoy Hamilton’s terrace as winter sets in, or keep yourself cool inside with plenty of space and a cool vibe. Wanting to branch out or hungry for more than light bites? Their main menu hits the spot, and also has pork if that’s your thing!

Timing: Fridays | 7PM - 12AM

Price: AED149 per person | three hours of unlimited selected wines, cocktails, and light bites | +AED70 for an extra hour

Ray's Bar

Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers

Ray's Bar ladies night is one of the funkiest in town. With incredible views down the Corniche and across the city from the 62nd floor of Etihad Towers, it oozes vibe. Women pay just AED149 for free-flow drinks for two hours starting at 8PM. T Grab your girls and your drinks from the signature cocktail menu, and make a night of it at Ray's Bar! If you must bring a man, he also gets a free flow package - but he pays a bit more!

Booking: 02 811 5666

PEOPLE ALSO ASK ...

What's the best ladies night off-island? Barbossa is the best place to go for ladies night off-island. It's a great deal and the vibes are huge

What's the best ladies night in the city? Lexx at Grand Hyatt - especially in cooler months when you can sit on the terrace. The views of the Corniche and Emirates Palace are gorgeous.

Which ladies night is best for food? We like Raclette in Mamsha on Saadiyat. The food is always good - though it's worth noting they no longer have live music. Marco's Italian is also a great option for this.

If we want to dance, which ladies night should we go to? Head to Craft by Side Hustle. DJ Sean Oliver spins 80s and 90s tunes that everyone can sing and dance to.

What's the best casual ladies night? It has to be Atlon! The deal is amazing but the RnB/hip-hop tunes are so great too.

If I want views with my prosecco, which ladies night should I go to? We recommend you spend your evening at The Lean, at Andaz Capital Gate. You get a swim, food and drinks and a DJ - and incredible views to match.
