Yas Marina is one of those spots that just works, whether you're after a lazy lunch, sunset drinks with the yachts bobbing in front of you, or a proper dinner. It sits right on the water on Yas Island, a short hop from the F1 track,with front and centre views of the dynamically gorgeous W Hotel Abu Dhabi, and it's close to the malls and the theme parks, so it's an easy add-on to a bigger day or a destination in its own right.
The dining line-up's got a bit of everything: from the more casual Stars and Bars and Diablito, to the slightly higher end Bar du Port and Mika, and the more party-esque Bla Bla, which means you can roll up in flip-flops or dress it up and either way you're sorted.
Below we've rounded up where to eat, where to drink and roughly what you'll pay, so you can plan your visit without bouncing around ten different websites first.
MIKA
YAS MARINA
Mika brings a bit more of a buzz, and is really popular with anyone who lives in the Raha Beach area - the food is always good. There's usually a DJ setting the mood and the menu is built around small plates and sharing platters. There are good in-house deals running almost every day of the week.
The ladies night runs Wednesdays from 8pm to 11pm, with AED129 getting you three drinks and a bar snack while the DJ keeps things going.
The Saturday brunch goes from 1pm to 4.30pm and leans into those sharing platters alongside boutique wines and cocktails, again with a DJ on the decks. Pricing comes in at three tiers, AED299, AED449 and AED495, so you can pick the package that suits your day.
Service is good, drinks are interesting and the interior is superbly interesting - while the outside terrace in cooler months is the place to be.
Our top tip: do not leave without getting the tiramisu!
Side note: Mika is dog friendly and will even allow small dogs inside!
Open: 12PM - 12AM

STARS N BARS
YAS MARINA
Stars and Bars is as the name suggests, an American-style bar on the marina, the kind of place you head to when you want a relaxed drink without much fuss.
The ladies night is a solid one, running Wednesdays from 5pm to 2am, where AED69 gets you five drinks plus free bar snacks from a selection. Happy hour stretches across most of the week too, Sunday to Friday from 12pm to 8pm, with discounted drinks the whole time. And if Saturdays are your day off, the brunch is AED199 for a three-course meal off the bar menu with unlimited house drinks, kids eat free, and there's live music from 5pm to round it out. This is another venue that welcomes dogs outside - so bring the entire family during the good months!
It's not fancy, the outside area is amazing for the good weather, and pricing is reasonable across the board.
Open: 12PM - 3AM

BAR DU PORT
YAS MARINA
Bar du Port is the spot for a more polished drink by the water, leaning French with the rosé and champagne to match. The crowd is mixed with a strong see and be seen vibe and views across the marina are amazing - though the interior is high end and well-appointed.
There are tons of opportunities for you to save your dirhams - especially on drinks.
The ladies night runs Sundays from 4pm to 8pm, with AED170 getting you two hours of free-flow Minuty rosé and prosecco.
The popular Saturday brunch goes from 1pm to 5pm across four tiers, AED290, AED390, AED480 and AED650, with Veuve Clicquot pouring on the champagne packages. This brunch shines in the cooler months when people happily sit outside and imagine they're on the Cote D'Azur!
A Happy hour of sorts covers Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm, with spirits, wine and beer from AED35 and cocktails from AED45.
Note the opening hours- it doesn't open till 4PM, except Saturday when they do brunch.
Open: 4PM every day except Saturday, closes 3PM

DIABLITO
YAS MARINA
Diablito does fairly casual Spanish food with marina views, and it's a safe bet if you're dining with fussy eaters since there's plenty on the menu to keep everyone happy, from tapas to pizza and very good paella options. Drinks are good - many a Saturday could be spent nursing an Aperol or a sangria on the terrace and staff are personable and efficient.
When can you go to save a few dirhams? The ladies' night runs Wednesdays from 6pm to 8pm, with AED100 getting you two hours of unlimited prosecco, beer, sangria and house wine while you eat.
Happy hour lands on Sundays from 4pm to 8pm with selected drinks at discounted prices.
It's also one of the best places to hit on a BB+ discount, so it's worth checking the Best Bites app before you go.
Open: 12PM - 12AM

BLA BLA
YAS MARINA
Bla Bla is the place to go for a party in Yas Marina, the kind of place you come to for the atmosphere rather than a quiet sit-down meal. One thing's for certain: there's always a fun vibe!
Want a party brunch? The big energy Saturday brunch runs from 12.30pm to 5pm - expect bite-size food, so go for the vibe over the plates - dancing, a DJ and a funky sax gal keeping the energy up. Pricing runs AED249 and AED299 for the house packages, AED349 with prosecco and AED499 on champagne. The ladies' night is a generous one, Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm with unlimited free house drinks, and happy hour runs every day from 6pm to 8pm, stretching to 3pm to 8pm on Sundays with discounted drinks.
Open: Saturdays for brunch from 12.30PM, Sundays from 3PM, weekdays from 6PM - till 3AM
