Dragon's Tooth is a speakeasy inside Rosewood Abu Dhabi, entered through the Tea Room of the Dai Pai Dong restaurant. The room is glamorous and secretive, and the bar menu is long and Asian-inspired. On Thursday and Friday evenings, Tales of the Orient pairs live storytelling with themed cocktails and dim sum.
Hidden Bar is a small cocktail lounge inside Rosewood Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island, with a curated gin collection and vermouths infused in house. The bartenders mix bespoke drinks, either classic or more daring, and there are menus built around reworked Negronis and gin. Every evening from 5pm to 7pm a sundowner hour pairs drinks with small canapés and views over the water.
Perlage is a champagne bar at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island, done in deep reds with platinum accents, plush velvet banquettes and low lighting. The menu is built around bespoke champagne cocktails, mixed at the bar by a team in street-inspired uniforms. Guests enter through Flamingo Room or from the Rosewood hotel, and the bar runs late into the night.
The St. Regis Bar sits inside The St. Regis Abu Dhabi in Nation Tower on the Corniche. It is spread over three spaces, styled after the Gilded Age of New York, and the hotel pitches it for anything from an early afternoon gathering to late evening drinks.
Saikindō is a Japanese hi-fi listening bar at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island, opened in November 2025. Its debut menu, Aji No Hibiki, arrives as a double-sleeve vinyl: twelve cocktails, each named after a song.
