Al Hanah Bar is a classy and sophisticated spot, perfect for a Friday or Saturday night out - and at a price point that’s more than reasonable. With its dim lighting, elegant cigar-bar vibe, and stunning diamonds hanging behind the bar, it sets the tone for an intimate and chic experience. The live music adds a fantastic vibe, while the happy and knowledgeable staff lift with their passion for cocktail crafting - they’ve all got a story to tell and we’re here for it!
We tried loads of the cocktails, from a menu inspired by "Nights in Old Shanghai," with each drink telling a unique story.
Our favourite was definitely the lychee royale, featuring Tanqueray gin, lychee juice, lemon juice, honey, mint leaves, orange blossom essence, and jasmine tea. Presented beautifully on a tray, the drink came in a cup and saucer along with a shot of Champagne. This cocktail was sweet, but not overly so – just the right balance, an important ingredient for a great cocktail.
Other highlights were the fabulously named
- Signature Sidecar: Served with a dramatic fire flame presentation.
- Pearevoir: Topped with a delicate bubble and accompanied by alcohol-flavoured jellies.
- Bananagroni: Featuring an impressive, crystal-clear ice block imported all the way from Sweden.
To complement the cocktails, enjoy a tray of three canapés: a shrimp and avocado crouton, salmon and caviar served on brown bread, and a cheese and bread bun. The canapés were delicious, with the crispy bread offering a great garlicky flavour.
Overall, it was a great evening in a beautifully sophisticated bar, made completely accessible with this amazing AED128 deal. This, along with excellent cocktails, delicious bites, and live music, Al Hanah Bar is a must-visit for a lovely night out.
