The Garden Bar is the in-house bar and lobby area at the Hilton Garden Inn at Dubai Al Mina. This Hilton Garden Inn is especially popular with visiting tourists as it is just five minutes from La Mer Beach, and quarter of an hour from Dubai Mall via a free shuttle service. The BurJ Khalifa, Dubai World Trade Centre and Grand Mosque are also just 15 minutes away from the hotel.
The Garden Bar is the perfect stop for those who are meeting friends or family, and looking for somewhere quiet to have a drink and a small bite to eat. The decor in the bar itself is smart yet relaxed - seating comprises of a mixture of leather-bound armchairs, a leather-backed wooden banquette and a long wooden bar. Exposed brick walls add a touch of character, and there are screens lining most of the walls, often screening football, cricket and other live sport.
Bar snacks are broadly international and easy-going, with a menu designed to be crowd-pleasing. On the menu you’ll find anything from bowls of olives and spicy garlic edamame beans to toasted sandwiches, truffle croquettes and nacho stacks. If you’re in the market for something more substantial, there are burgers, pizzas and mains like fish and chips, steak and chips and chicken teriyaki with a green salad on the side. The Hilton Garden Inn Al Mina also has a restaurant in house - The Garden Grille - which is set up to cater for proper meals.
The Garden Bar is the place to be for cocktails, though. The bar team can mix up a variety of classic cocktails, as well as mocktails, detox juices and soft drinks.
