The Manhattan Lounge
Al Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi
Bar in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Why go
The Manhattan Lounge is worth choosing for a polished Saadiyat Island drink, especially before dinner or as a late nightcap at the St. Regis. Do not treat it as a food-first booking: the verified case is stronger on resort atmosphere, smart-casual comfort, easy late-evening use than on cuisine or signature dishes.
About The Manhattan Lounge
The Manhattan Lounge is an Abu Dhabi venue with a price point of $60 per person, daily late hours, a smart casual dress code. Beyond those basics, the safest way to plan is to avoid assuming a specific cuisine, menu format, service style, or hotel-setting experience unless you confirm it directly with the venue before going.
That makes the recommendation practical rather than speculative: choose it when the posted hours and price suit your evening, when a smart casual Abu Dhabi lounge fits the occasion. If you need a specific dining format, dietary accommodation, signature drinks list, or destination-meal experience, verify those details in advance.
Use it as a flexible evening option, not a fully defined dining plan
The schedule is the strongest planning detail: The Manhattan Lounge is open daily from 4 PM to 2 AM. That makes it easier to consider for an evening or late-night stop in Abu Dhabi, especially when you want something available beyond standard dinner hours.
The food and beverage case should stay general because no specific menu, cuisine, cocktail program, or dining format is here. For a fuller dinner search, ’s full Abu Dhabi restaurants guide is the better place to compare restaurant options, while the full Abu Dhabi bars guide can help if the night should revolve around a bar choice. For The Manhattan Lounge specifically, plan around the confirmed price, hours, dress code.
Who should choose The Manhattan Lounge in Abu Dhabi
This is a reasonable fit for people who want an Abu Dhabi venue with late daily hours and a smart casual expectation. The dress code is useful to know before arriving: it suggests dressing neatly without assuming a formal dinner requirement.
The value case depends on what you need from the night. At $60 per person, it may make sense if the timing, location in Abu Dhabi, smart casual setting match your plans.
Plan the rest of the evening around details

Bar context
How It Compares
The St. Regis Pool & Beach Bar is the cleaner pick when outdoor atmosphere is the point; The Manhattan Lounge makes more sense when the group wants an indoor hotel-lounge setting and an easier, lower-commitment stop near the St. Regis arrival flow. For value, the better choice depends on how long the group plans to stay: a lounge drink is efficient, while a pool or beach bar earns its keep through setting.
Nasma Beachfront Bar and The Roof Bar @ Turtle Bay are stronger cross-shops for guests who want the venue itself to carry the evening. Pick those for a more destination-style bar plan; pick The Manhattan Lounge when proximity, ease, conversation matter more than scenery.
Sama Lobby Lounge is the closest peer for a lobby-led experience, while The Pool Avenue points more clearly toward a resort-day mood. If booking difficulty is the deciding factor, The Manhattan Lounge is the low-friction option; if the group expects a stronger sense of occasion, start with the beachfront or rooftop peers.
