Here are the best Friday ladies’ nights in Abu Dhabi.

Hamilton’s

A perennially popular gastropub in the capital is Hamilton’s, and on Fridays, this Saadiyat Rotana staple invites ladies to round-up their besties and enjoy three-hours of unlimited drinks for Dhs149. Pick a three-hour package between 7pm and 12am and sip your way through a selection of wines and cocktails, while grazing on complimentary light bites. Upgrade to a four-hour package for an extra Dhs70.

Raclette

This chic seaside brasserie sits pretty on one of our favourite foodie stretches in the capital, Mamsha Al Saadiyat. And Friday is the perfect day to meet your besties for a catch-up as you gaze out over the shores of Saadiyat with their wallet-friendly ladies’ night offer. Available from 8pm to 11pm, Dhs180 gets you a main dish and unlimited house drinks, while Dhs195 gets you all that plus bubbly. On the food front, expect options like margarita pizza, mushroom risotto, or mini sliders. The drinks selection includes wine, beer and a few cocktails too.
