🍹 About This Spot
Tuesday: Ray's Bar, Iris is one of our hand-picked ladies night guide selections in Abu Dhabi. Details like menus, hours and prices change often in the UAE’s fast-moving scene, so tap the map below for current info and reviews before heading out.
Ladies' nights are a genuine UAE institution: on scheduled nights, bars and clubs offer women free drinks (typically 2–4), free entry or heavy discounts — a competitive tradition so established that every night of the week belongs to some venue's deal.
The classic pattern: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the big nights, deals run roughly 8 PM–midnight, and the drinks list for freebies is set (house wines, select cocktails). Mixed groups work fine — men pay normal prices alongside.
