Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
Went with the family to the Crowne Plaza on Yas last night for dinner. Are 'al fresco' at 'Stills' the bar on the ground level.
Very nice atmosphere and kid friendly.
Steak and ale pie was nice, however i prefer to not be able to count the amount of chips on 2 hands. 9 chips..WTF
really cool and not toooo overpriced.
Went to the Yas Hotel but they want 100AED upfront even to drive up to the entrance. This is ofcourse deducted from any FnB purchased in the Hotel.
Fair enough, it keeps nosey barstewards like us (the Abu Dhabi clampets) away..
AD is so much better than Dubai on so many levels now.

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
Because you had a pie with 9 chips in a CP on a contrete island? Yeah I can see your rationale lol.
AD has nothing that can compete with the Burj al Arab, the Burj Dubai, the Madinat, Al Qasr and the Jumeirah waterfront.
But at least you have all those awful faux English pubs in second rate hotels full of sleazy oil drillers who haven't had a free shag in over a year...

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
The fact that Dubai is still the preferred tourist destination over AD says it all. It simply has more to offer, so how can AD compete on any level?

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
And are you not impressed with a 'pie' because that is beneath you?
Yes, you are suited to Dubai and everything it stands for and that has gone wrong with the place in the last 3 years (how long have you been here?)
probably less that 3 years..go figure.
Ive lived in both places and prefer Abu Dhabi by a longshot.
AD hotels are usually full, Dubai's are almost empty

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
I think AD is taking over from Dubai in the popularity stakes, all the big name acts are heading to AD. Dubai Sound City event over the weekend here in Dubai apparently was very poorly attended. I haven't been to Yas Island but am hoping to visit later this month. Is this hotel that is charging 100 to get in the one on the actual track?

Re: Yas Island Bars and Restaurants
I like a nice pie as much as the next person, but it certainly doesn't swing my opinion on AD lol.
I agree that I am suited to Dubai, it's superior to AD in most aspects.

To be honest I don't know why anyone would have attended the DSC event this weekend, it sounded like a load of rubbish to me.

I was at the sound city thing on Friday and it was absolutely shoite. Ive been to more gigs at the IV over the years than id care to remember and this was the worst.
there was a big lull in the music (i think its when De la Soul) were meant to be on the stage, and in the eerie silence some women were trying to flog tickets for Saturdays..
Yea right love..
