ABU DHABI NIGHTLIFE : Abu Dhabi Bars, Clubs Pubs, NightClubs
Most four- and five-star hotels have bars, pubs and nightclubs. Drinks can be quite expensive. Happy hours are common. The dress code in bars is usually casual, but some bars and all clubs forbid shorts, jeans, trainers or sandals. Some require shirts with collars. As a rule nightclubs have a stricter dress code. Bars and clubs usually stay open until late, some closing at about 1 p.m., others remaining open until 3 a.m. In general people tend to go out late, usually not before 9 p.m., although if you are in a tourist venue the action can start a little earlier. Wedenesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are the busiest nights. Sports fans are catered for with many of the pubs screening major sporting events such as Premier League matches.
In some cases the distinction between bar and restaurant is not very clear, so there will be some overlap between the two lists.
Arabic Nightclubs
Arabic nightclubs usually warm-up around 10.30 p.m. Food menus are often limited, although in hotels full Arabic menus are on offer. Entertainment can be lively.

Recommendation of the Time Out Guide :
The most popular club in town is Zenith (+97126773333) at the Sheraton, a recently opened two-tier venue that hosts all the biggest names to visit town. The terrace of the Captain's Arms (Corniche Road, +97126446666) at Le Meridien is a great place for an al fresco pint, and operates an excellent happy hour during which you can win drinks on the toss of a coin. Trader Vic's (Tourist Club Area, +97126443000) at the Beach Rotana is fantastic for exotic, viciously strong cocktails and Polynesian nibbles.
