Start This Weekend the Barbossa Way
There’s only one way to kick off the weekend on Yas Bay and Barbossa has it down to a tee. Start early with the hottest Happy Hour on the waterfront, where ice-cold drinks go for just AED 30 from 3PM to 7PM.
The energy jumps a level on Fridays. At 8:30PM, a live mariachi band storms the floor with fiery Latin rhythm and pure, contagious energy. When the band wraps at 10PM, the DJ takes over and the night shifts into full party mode, dancing optional, but highly encouraged. Start early, stay late and let Barbossa take your Friday from “it’s the weekend” to “this is the weekend”.
Friday, 3PM to late.
