The second week of May lands in that comfortable stretch before summer fully sets in, and the calendar reflects it. Evenings are still pleasant enough for rooftop dinners and waterside drinks, and the city’s venues are leaning into the season with relaxed lunch service, happy hours, and a few experiences worth planning around.
This week’s lineup covers a bit of everything. There’s a pop-up gaming takeover at The Avenues running through the weekend, a wellness session pairing yoga with spring planting, and Italian lunches for a midweek reset. After-work options are particularly strong, with rooftop bites, Japanese-style happy hour, and sundown drinks with sweeping views.
Whether you’re after something active, social, or simply a good meal with a view, here’s what’s worth your time this week.
A pop-up gaming experience is taking over The Avenues for most of May. Spend BHD 10 at any store in the mall to unlock access to the free play area, and register online for the weekend tournaments for a chance to win cash prizes and gifts.
