Belgian Beer Cafe – Yas Island, Abu Dhabi – UAE

 

The Belgian Beer Cafe is located in the Radisson Blu hotel on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE.  I was staying at the Yas Viceroy and attended a large defense conference in Abu Dhabi.  The Belgian Beer Cafe was only a 15 min walk from my hotel but I decided to use a cab because I wasn’t sure how the sidewalk situation was between both hotels.  I visited on a MON and they had a beer/slider special for 125 Emirati Dirham which was about $34 (Sliders & Hops Monday).  I had Leffe Brune so you are looking at about 5-6 beers + 8 sliders.  Pretty good deal.  They had other Belgian beers on draft and in bottles.  I have been to the UAE before and they don’t typically have a large beer selection.  Mostly European beers and because of the alcohol rules, you can only drink in hotels.  You also cannot purchase alcohol at a store without a license.  Kind of strange and probably one of the things I don’t really like about the UAE but there are lots of things to see in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.  Definitely should visit.  If you are ever in the Yas Island area and are looking for a place for decent bar food and beer, check out the Belgian Beer Cafe.  https://www.radissonblu.com/en/hotel-abudhabi/restaurants
