Let that Green Mill-esque vibe soak in…

Sit back (or lean, if you’re sitting at the bar), let the hi-hats and sax flow through you, and sip a refreshing cocktail or two at these lovely jazz spots in the capital:

Jones the Grocer

Join Jones and co. for a night of jazz music, good food and fine drink. Unlimited artisan cheese and free flowing wine make this the ultimate spot for Friday night culture vultures.

Jazz & Fizz

Up above the world so high, on Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche’s 36th and 37th floors lies the Jazz & Fizz, a relaxing cinq-a-sept style setting for after-work drinks and catchups. Since you’re likely dressed the part, you might as well light a cigar alongside a glass of bubbly and enjoy the fine tunes this bar puts out, both jazz and Arabic music to complement your evening. With views of the city to augment your experience, this is the place to be after a long, hard day at work. And if all of that wasn’t enough reason to mosey on down here, you can also enjoy 50 per cent off drinks from 4pm – 8pm, during what we’re certain will be a very happy hour indeed.

Jazz & Fizz, Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche, Al Danah 1, Abu Dhabi. 6pm – 3am, daily. Tel: (0) 2 813 7777, sofitelabudhabicorniche.com
