Default Equivalent of "Jockeys/Yorks" in Abu Dhabi

^^^^^

As it says, anyone know?

Not for me you understand, but a friend of mine is their next week and doesn't know his way around.

PS, he's French!

Dana hotel you have 49 ers, good mix, Illusions (Meridien) probably the fittest and mostly eastern europeans. If they want cheap and chearful the Novotel is full of chinese in bar blitz. If they are 80 and want someone of an equal age go to the Ally Pally if they like dark chocolate the Cellar bar at Howard Johnson.

So my mate told me..

There's a couple of fairly dodgy (but interesting) bars on the first floor at Howard Johnson's

Also don't forget The Trap on the mezzanine floor at the Dana hotel. Hang on to your nuts, the ebony mozzies bite first...

If you like a bit of rural snatch, there is always the Mafraq Hotel bar..

Pretty difficult to find a bar in AD that doesn't have chinese (and/or other flavours) takeaways on offer these days...

We've conceded defeat and head to Dubai most weekends now. No chance for us single girlies when "Oh wooow you are sooo handsooome..." "it is sooo biiiig" is on offer for 200dhs a pop (no matter how ugly or small the man(/hood) in question is)

It varies... McGettigans/Rosso's/Nell Gwynne's are our current favourites. Still not been to the Yacht Club at the Marina but want to give that a try. Heard that Mahiki is meant to be good but not been there either. Will also hold my hands up to TECOM Rock Bottoms on a particularly blurry occasion...
