Chamas Bar evening menu is giving Abu Dhabi diners a new after-5pm option for drinks, small plates and relaxed lounge plans. Chamas Bar & Cigar Lounge has launched Evening Bites, a daily bar menu built around Brazilian flavours, premium ingredients and shareable plates.
The idea is simple: not every evening needs a full restaurant booking. Sometimes the better plan is a few polished bites, a drink, and enough atmosphere to make the post-work catch-up feel worth leaving home for.
When The New Menu Is Available
Evening Bites is served daily from 5pm at the bar. That timing makes it useful for office groups, early date nights, hotel guests and friends who want something more structured than a standard drink order.
The menu is designed for sharing, which gives guests flexibility. It can work as a light bite before dinner, a longer lounge stop or a casual evening built around cocktails and conversation.
That flexibility is useful in Abu Dhabi, where hotel bars often serve several types of guests at once. Business travellers, residents, couples and groups can all use the same menu differently.
What Is On The Menu?
The small-plate selection leans into Brazilian inspiration with a premium twist. Highlights include seabass and salmon tiraditos, beef tartare topped with black caviar, foie gras gyoza and a Wagyu beef sando.
Guests who want something heartier can look for Wagyu sliders and Brazilian-style grilled skewers. Desserts with Brazilian influence round out the menu for anyone staying late enough to turn snacks into a full evening.
Drinks Are Part Of The Experience
The lounge format is important because the food has been created to sit beside the drinks list. Cocktails, premium whiskies and a cigar selection are all part of the wider Chamas evening mood.
That makes this less of a quick bar snack launch and more of a polished lounge update. It should suit guests who want a slower night rather than a loud, crowded dinner setting.
The cigar-lounge element also changes the mood. Guests who prefer a smoke-free dining room should check seating areas before booking, while cigar fans may see the menu as a stronger reason to stay longer.
Who Should Try It?
The new menu makes most sense for groups who like sharing plates, couples looking for an easy early evening, and business travellers staying in Abu Dhabi who want a hotel-based plan with character.

Why This Launch Fits Abu Dhabi Nights
Abu Dhabi’s dining scene has been moving beyond formal meals into more flexible formats. Lounges, terrace menus, chef-led small plates and premium casual concepts all speak to guests who want quality without a long dinner format.
Chamas already has a Brazilian identity, so Evening Bites gives the venue a way to stretch that personality into the bar. The strongest appeal is the mix: familiar lounge comfort, a hotel setting and dishes that feel more interesting than standard bar food.
If you are planning to go, book or call ahead for seating, cigar-lounge rules and any age or dress-code details. A little checking matters, especially for a venue built around evening drinks and a premium lounge atmosphere.
Ask about signature pairings if you are unsure what to order. A small-plate menu usually works best when the food and drinks are chosen together rather than treated as separate parts of the night.
