Priced at AED 220 net per person, the experience pairs a premium Cuban cigar with two handcrafted Signature Negronis. Settle into the bar, take your time and enjoy an evening centred around classic flavours and good conversation.
Pizza Social at NoHo
NoHo Bar & Grill at InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah keeps things relaxed with its daily Pizza Social, whether you’re stopping by for a laid-back lunch or settling in for an easy evening with friends.
Available from 12.30 pm to 3.30 pm and again from 6 pm to 10.30 pm, the menu centres around handcrafted pizzas starting from AED 65. Designed for sharing, it’s the kind of casual dining spot that works just as well for an after-work catch-up as it does for a low-key date night or birthday get-together.
Play Padel Indoors
Padel Beach RAK at Al Hamra Golf Club is making it even easier to fit a game into the day with discounts on indoor padel sessions from morning through to midnight.
Early players can enjoy 30 per cent off sessions booked between 6 am and 3 pm, while evening games from 3 pm to 12 am come with 20 per cent off. Whether it’s a pre-work match, an afternoon hit or a late-night game with friends, there’s now a little extra incentive to get on court.
