Your guide to the ten best pubs in Abu Dhabi
WHEN IT COMES to pubs in Abu Dhabi there
are so many it can be hard to know where to
spend your time and money. Well, not if you
read Time Out, as we can save you all the
hassle of trawling through the internet and
taking a risk on pints of flat hops.
Here are the official ten best pubs in Abu
Dhabi, as decided as part of our Music &
Nightlife Awards 2019.
Brauhaus
This authentic German eatery boasts what
we reckon is the city’s largest selection of
authentic German sausages, as well as plenty
of fish dishes, bisques and light salads. But
with a big outdoor terrace filled with wooden
benches and plenty of German brews on tap,
it’s also well worth heading here just for a
drink. We love this place.
O Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi, Ak Zahiyah (02 697 9011).
Captain’s Arms
If you like your music filled with guitars and
thumping drums, then you’ll love the classic
rock soundtrack at this laid-back pub.
Whether you’re here for breakfast or dinner,
you’ll find plenty of tempting options, and the
wallet-friendly prices of the drinks are totally
refreshing. A true institution.
O Le Méridien Abu Dhabi, Al Zahiyah (02 644 6666).
HIGHLY COMMENDED: Cooper’s Bar &
Restaurant
We always feel at home in this British-style
pub, and the long happy hours and numerous
ladies’ nights are just some of the reasons
why it’s always busy. During the cooler
months it’s possible to enjoy some al fresco
dining on the terrace, and with giant screens
covering the walls it’s ideal if you’re looking for
somewhere to watch a match or two.
O Park Rotana Abu Dhabi, Khalifa Park area
(02 657 3325).
Lovely
pubbly!
