Race Into These Dining Destinations For The 2024 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Weekend

All eyes will be on Yas Island as the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix roars into town. The F1 season finale - comprising 58 laps of the 5.281-kilometre Yas Marina Circuit - brings with it enough energy to electrify the whole city (and not just for those lucky enough to be track-side). 

Events, pop-ups, parties and restaurant take-overs aplenty are kicking off in the lead up to the final race on Yas Island on Sunday, December 8th. The musical lineup for the Yasalam after-race concerts - Teddy Swims and Peggy Gou on Thursday 5th, Maroon 5 on Friday, Eminem making an eagerly anticipated return to Abu Dhabi on Saturday and MUSE on Sunday - already has us dancing in our seats. 

We’ve rounded up some of our top picks to get amongst the action, hear the distant roar from the track and eat, drink and be merry during Abu Dhabi’s biggest sporting event of the year.

F1 SATURDAY PRACTICE BRUNCH

Stars N Bars

Get warmed up for the big finale with Stars N Bars: their F1 Saturday Practice Brunch in the heart of Yas Marina is so close to the action you can hear the cars roaring in the distance.

Enjoy a three course brunch - they serve up some excellent pub food, which will help keep you going throughout the day - along with unlimited drinks for 4 hours. Live race action on the big screens means you won’t miss a minute of action, and non-stop live entertainment means the party atmosphere will be in full swing! 

Saturday brunch is the only day reservations are available - the rest of weekend is first come, first served - so it’s a great chance to secure your spot in the middle of the action. 

Timing: Saturday | December 7th

Price: AED499 per person
