Warm wood, retro details and a plethora of textiles fill this new bar, but looks can deceive – the first sensation when entering is the ice-cold blast of air conditioning shimmering down your shirt. That said, the pours at this World Trade Centre bar are generous, the flatscreens always show a range of sports (favouring Arabic soccer leagues on our visit) and the food menu varied.

The grape and grub options have a decidedly South American theme – Argentina and Chile the stars of the show – and we decided to sample the Rodizio selection of chicken and beef sausages, which were ample, tasty and, as we found out mid-way, bottomless – they’ll just keep bringing you sausages all night. When we visited on a Monday evening there were three or four tables of lads enjoying food and footy, although we imagine the spot will be teeming when there are exhibitions running at the World Trade Centre. The one thing we’d like to see improved is the service, which was rather bewildered and not very knowledgeable about the menu.

I personally felt that the club as great compared to other clubs I've been to...Especially on Saturday nights during the Unplugged nights. The live band is FANTASTIC...its a decent amount of people, not over crowded and you can just sit down, share some drinks and enjoy the MANY songs that are played with live instruments from the band. They sound GREAT! I would advise any older or mature person(s) to check it out.

we went to this place on thursday night, it was too full to believe... more of african people... service was efficent.. Dj's were simply awsome...we were charged 100 dhs at the enterance with no drink included however it was worth for the music and entertainment quality. airconditioning needs improvement.

We went there rather to have "dinner" than looking for the crowd.
The food which they claim as "bar snacks" is amazing! and the price is just great! If you look for a nice place to have a quiet dinner you are right here. there is really not a big crowd on weekdays at least.
You can eat as much meat as you can for 110 Dhs. they just keep on serving until you can't move anymre. and it actually tastes very good. we were a little bit hesitant the first time. but now we love it! (especially the grilled pinapple). Prices are really cheap! The house wine which is included in the Happy hour (until 9pm) is not bad at all. and we had a great dinner for 4 people. avg per person was 130 Dhs. including food and alcoholic drinks! name me one place in the UAE where you can get that!
We will definately come back even though we are in Abu Dhabi. But it is worth it! Just make sure you take some warm cloths with you as it is freezing! :)

Empty, except when there's a big convention at Trade Centre when it is packed by conference-goers.

Rather pricey, for what you get.

Not much special to it.
