Beer/food tonight
 
This will be my first dry day since I've been here. What happens? Are all the restaurants and bars open as normal but serve no alcohol? Is there no place that serves, like some dodgy back alley bar!!
I want to go out tonight but there is no point if everywhere is going to be dead or closed.:unsure:

When in Rome....just abide by the rules and you will be okay here...drinking on a dry night is very offensive so wait until 6pm Thursday when you can still enjoy a drink or three over the weekend...or pop around to Mirdif and help exterminate those nasty cockroaches.

Looks like I'm stopping in and washin my hair then!! At least I can be on the beach nice and early tomorrow and work up a thirst for tomorrow night.
I don't like cockroaches so I'll pass on the extermination job!! lol

Hello,

My boyfriend and I will be arriving in Abu Dhabi on Thursday night. Is there something going on or is there anyone who has time to meet up with us on Friday or Saturday afternoon or evening? Its our first time there and we are very excited and would be happy to meet with anyone who has time to hang out for a bit.
thank you!
Carole
