A connoisseur's cocktail bar, Butcher & Still has a black marble bar, hardwood features and leather everywhere to pad the elbows. Smoked Manhattans and other creative Prohibition-era tipples, often made with house-mixed bitters, syrups and tinctures, dominate. Selected cocktails are shaken in an antique Tanqueray No 10 Imperial Shaker, one of only five in the world.

Come before 7pm for two-for-one happy-hour drinks. In addition to cocktails, there's a rare spirits list (anyone up for splitting a Dhs81,000 aged bottle of Aspiazo Cuban rum?) and a California- and Washington-heavy wine list.
