Latitude Pool Bar – Yas Viceroy Hotel, Abu Dhabi – UAE

   

 

This is probably more of a review of the Yas Viceroy than the bar but had to include a place where you can purchase beer since this is a beer blog.  The Yas Viceroy is on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE and has a Formula 1 Grand Prix track that goes right thru the hotel.  This is a category 5 hotel and the rooms are large and very nice.  One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at in my travels.  I had a room on the 3rd floor and had a balcony that overlooked the marina and track.  I arrived on a SUN and at about 10:30pm I heard some cars racing on the track.  Appeared to be a racing club of high dollar race cars but not really sure.  They had the track until close to midnight.  I have a short video off my balcony showing the view and cars.

I have noted the Latitude Pool Bar which is located on the 9th floor in the  main building.  They have 50% off happy hour on select items from 4-6pm.  I went there during happy hour and had a few Peroni’s.  Peroni and Corona were the only beers on the happy hour list.  They also have Stella on draft.  Not a place with a large beer selection but the architecture and view from the top is great.  The pool, fitness room, spa and the Skylite rooftop lounge are also located on the 9th floor.  Yas Island is only a 15 minute taxi ride from the Abu Dhabi International Airport.  Check it out if you are in Abu Dhabi.  http://www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/en/abudhabi
