FABULOUS ABU DHABI LADIES NIGHTS TO TRY
LOCA RESTAURANT & BAR
THE GALLERIA
Take a deep breath and dive right into this cracking Wednesday ladies night! Shared appetisers of guacamole, prawn ceviche and chicken and vegetable flautas will whet your appetite, before main course decision time: choose between a tostada salad, tacos or fajitas with lots of fillings on the menu (and plenty of veggie options!). Unlimited margaritas will have the girls in fine form, and it would be rude not to try each flavour - kiwi, lime, raspberry and strawberry – at least once.
End on a sweet note with a slice of tres leches cake, and enjoy the luxury of a proper catch up with your besties.
Ladies night kicks off at 7PM and runs until midnight, so there’s no rush to leave!
Timing: Wednesdays | 7PM-midnight
Pricing: AED145

MARCO’S ITALIAN
FAIRMONT BAB AL BAHR
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

RACLETTE BRASSERIE AND CAFE
MAMSHA AL SAADIYAT
There are so many good things to say about this ladies night. First, it's on a Friday which might be the only night of the week that women actually want to get out of their sweat pants! 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 the 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.
To add to what is surely one of Abu Dhabi's best ladies night moods, the musician plays a violin - yes, very gay Paris! - as well as a sax and then transitions to the DJ booth ... who doesn't love a multi-talented fella for a ladies night?!
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
