5 Best Karaoke Bars in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Karaoke bars in Abu Dhabi are often folded into a broader live music or pub scene rather than a dedicated karaoke room, and the venues below reflect that mix of gastropubs, sports bars, and late-night lounges. Between them these spots have logged over 5,000 reviews, and the busiest name alone has close to 1,900, so there's real depth of feedback to weigh alongside whether karaoke is actually part of the night on offer.

Short answer: The Brewhouse Gastro Pub holds a 4.9 rating across 1,185 reviews and offers live music alongside cocktails and food in a lively setting. Porters English Pub (4.3, 1,877 reviews) specifically runs karaoke and bingo nights, making it the most direct match for a karaoke evening. Hoods Resto & Bar (4.8, 561 reviews) is a strong pick if live band nights and a relaxed lounge vibe matter more than a microphone.

How we rank these nightlife venues

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many real customers rated the venue, weighted against others in Abu Dhabi. Confidence blends rating and volume so a smaller sample doesn’t outrank a deeper track record. Recency checks how current the review activity is. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a night out cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Pricing varies by venue and whether you’re ordering food, drinks, or both. Reviewers across this page cited a range of real per-person spending.

JobTypical price
Per person at a gastropub or bar (food and drinks)AED 100 - 300

Figures cited directly by customers in their Google reviews across the venues on this page, verified August 2026.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These nightlife venues are spread across Abu Dhabi, from Madinat Zayed and Al Wahda to Al Danah and Al Nahyan, most located inside hotels with easy access and parking. If you’re searching for karaoke or nightlife near me in Abu Dhabi, all of them listed here are centrally located and open late.

What to ask before you head out for karaoke

  • Is karaoke on a specific night of the week, or available every night?
  • Is there a cover charge or minimum spend?
  • Do I need a reservation, especially for a larger group?
  • What’s the dress code and entry policy?
  • Is the venue an open floor for singing, or a private karaoke room?
  • What time does the entertainment or live music typically start?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge + top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these venues?

We pulled real Google ratings, review counts, and review text for nightlife venues serving Abu Dhabi, then ranked them on rating, review volume, and recency of activity.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Is there a dedicated karaoke bar in Abu Dhabi?

Based on the businesses we found with public Google data, Porters English Pub is the clearest match, with reviewers specifically describing scheduled karaoke and bingo nights. The others on this page lean more toward live bands, DJ sets, or general nightlife.

Do these venues require reservations?

It varies. Some, like The GOAT and Hoods Resto & Bar, get busy on weekends, so a reservation or arriving early is worth considering, especially for larger groups.

The bottom line

Porters English Pub is the closest match if karaoke itself is the goal, given its specifically scheduled karaoke and bingo nights. If you want a broader night out with live music, food, and cocktails, The Brewhouse Gastro Pub and Hoods Resto & Bar both stand out. Confirm the entertainment schedule before you head out, since not every venue on this page runs karaoke every night.
