Abu Dhabi Nightlife

Since the country's licensing laws restrict the sale of alcohol, some of the best after dark action in Abu Dhabi can be restricted to the hotels. However, if you want upmarket bars, rooftop lounges and flashy clubs, there is plenty of action available if you know where to look.

For up-to-date information about clubbing, concerts and other cultural goings-on, check out The Capital List (www.thecapitallist.ae) and Time Out (www.timeoutabudhabi.com).
