Hidden Bar stays true to its name. It’s still cleverly concealed like a little secret you’re lucky to stumble upon. Rosewood Abu Dhabi’s main lobby is all about a sleek set of new doors. This leads you into a cosy hideaway with soft lighting. They don’t mess around. It’s the kind of spot where chats go deeper, time slows down, and you momentarily forget you’re in the heart of the city. Inside, the space feels familiar but noticeably refreshed. It’s got that same intimate charm, only now with a bit more breathing room, perfect for stretching out, sipping slowly, and staying a little longer than planned.

The interiors are fresh yet familiar, still intimate, but now with more room to unwind. And yes, the terrace with its signature Al Maryah canal views is still there, promising sunset sessions as soon as the weather decides to behave.

Sip, Savour, Repeat

Hidden Bar 2.0 hasn’t just changed the lighting. It’s upped its cocktail game, too. As the menu cheekily declares, “It’s always gin o’clock.” And they mean it. With hundreds, yes, hundreds, of gin-based drinks on offer, this is no place for the indecisive. But don’t worry, we’ve got you.

Try the Forbidden Fruits (AED75) if your taste leans fruity; it blends mixed berry and lime for a sweet but punchy sip. Want something stronger? The Coffee Negroni brings bitter and bold together with that espresso edge. Honestly, it’s the kind of drink that makes you feel like you’ve made an excellent life choice.

Not into gin? That’s okay too. They’ve stocked up on premium wines and classic cocktails that hit the mark. Pair it all with bar bites, nothing too fussy, just the right sort of snack to keep you lingering longer.

So why does this reopening matter? Because Abu Dhabi’s nightlife scene always benefits from a place with character. Hidden Bar gives you exactly what you need: a relaxed spot to sip a drink, catch up with friends, and casually watch the world go by. It strikes a sweet balance: no loud club chaos, no stiff lounge vibes, just the right mix of fun and finesse.

And with the weekend rolling in, there’s no better moment to swing by and see Hidden Bar’s sleek new makeover for yourself. Whether you’re catching up with friends or just treating yourself to a midweek unwind, this revamped bar delivers.

And yes, new imagery is on the way soon, but trust us, you’ll want to see it for yourself.
