Ladies Night Abu Dhabi: Every Wednesday at Marcella, Yas Bay
Abu Dhabi has no shortage of midweek plans, but most ladies nights follow the same template: a formulaic free-drinks offer, a crowded venue, and an experience designed for volume rather than quality. Marcella’s Wednesday night is built around a different standard.
Every Wednesday at Marcella on Yas Bay, ladies are invited to spend the evening in one of Abu Dhabi’s most atmospheric waterfront settings — with unlimited freshly prepared house sangrias and a curated selection of tapas. The combination is intentional: Spanish-inspired food and drink brought together as a proper evening out, not an afterthought. It is the kind of Wednesday night that earns its place on the calendar.
AED 150 per lady | Every Wednesday | 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
The Sangria and the Tapas
The sangrias at Marcella are made fresh – cold, bright, and balanced in a way that holds up across the evening. Each glass arrives as it should: consistent, carefully made, and worth lingering over.
The tapas selection draws from the broader Marcella menu: small plates built around seasonal ingredients and Spanish technique. Expect dishes like patatas bravas, chorizo and manchego croquetas, pan con tomate, and salt cod brandade alongside lighter options from the tapas and snacks section of the menu. The format is made for grazing and conversation, which is exactly the point.
For those who want to extend the evening into dinner, the full Marcella menu is available throughout the night. The kitchen runs until late, and the space transitions naturally from an evening aperitivo mood into a full dinner service.
The Setting
Marcella sits on the Yas Bay Waterfront on Yas Island, where the open setting, bay views, and warm interior come together into an atmosphere that works equally well for a group night out or a quieter catch-up between two or three people.
The zinc-topped 30-seater bar is typically the heart of the evening: accessible, social, and designed for exactly this kind of occasion. Whether you prefer a table or a spot at the bar, the space accommodates both without one overwhelming the other.
