Best Wednesday night deals and events in Abu Dhabi
Fun isn't on standby until the weekend. Not in Abu Dhabi and definitely not tonight. While most people are waiting for Friday to roll around, there's a handful of locals who've figured out the secret to beating the midweek slump: get out, move your body, and meet people who are just as tired of routine as you are. Wednesday nights in the capital have quietly become the city's best-kept secret. From sweat sessions with strobe lights to dancing in heels and games that feel more like a social club than a sport, these are the things that make the workweek worth it. Whether you're looking to break a sweat, meet new people, or just not eat dinner in front of the TV again, here are three ways to turn your midweek into a full-on vibe. Hit the courts, then hit the dance floor: Padel & Coffee Party This is not your average 'hit a few balls and go home' kind of night. This is where padel meets party and the courts light up with more than just forehands and backhands. You'll play friendly matches with no pressure, no points, just vibes and court-side cocktails with a live DJ spinning tracks that'll get your paddle moving faster than your Spotify playlist ever could. There are dance breaks, surprise cheers, flashing lights, and yes, even friendships formed between serves. It's part game night, part social club, and part dance party. Basically, it's what your Wednesday night's been missing. Location: Panoramic Padel Courts, Abu Dhabi Contact: Join via Whatsapp (055) 539 4811 Get your squash on at Zayed Cricket Stadium Squash might not come with a live DJ or cocktails, but if you're after a midweek calorie burn and some wholesome fun, this is your spot. It's low-cost, high-energy, and open to everyone. That includes guys, girls, pros, beginners, and that one friend who always forgets the rules but shows up anyway. All you need to do is register, show up, and get moving. Beats Netflix. Every time. Location: Zayed Cricket Stadium, ask for the squash court Cost: Around Dhs15-25 Contact: (055) 411 191 Own the room at an Afro-Heels Workshop For the ladies who know their power lies in their step and their strut, the kizomba, afro-latin dance workshop is calling. Think fierce footwork, bold beats, and a lot of hip-swaying confidence. This is the kind of class where you leave taller, sweatier, and 100% more empowered than you came in. There are only 10 slots, and they're going fast. So if you've been looking for a sign to do something bold and fun with your Wednesday night, consider this it. Location: Universal Dance Studio, Airport Road Time: 6:30pm to 8pm Cost: Dhs120 Contact: (050) 407 5795 The G.O.A.T. If sweating it out on the squash court or dropping it low in heels isn't your idea of midweek fun, that's perfectly fine. What's On Abu Dhabi's got you. Wednesday is also ladies' night, and the city comes alive with music, cocktails and irresistible deals. Whether you're after tacos, dancehall or a few hours of bottomless bubbles, these spots are pouring the good times. Three free house beverages and 30% off food? Yes, please. Add in live band Goat Beatz and DJ Roy and you've got yourself a midweek party. Location: Cristal Hotel Abu Dhabi. Times: 8pm to 11pm Contact: (050) 499 3953 Ting Irie Jamaican flavour meets Abu Dhabi energy.
