Hi japappy

There are a number of liquor stores throughout Abu Dhabi, one of the most popular ones is called Spinneys, and there are a number of them in Abu Dhabi. 

It is not advisable to carry alcohol on the street in Abu Dhabi, so you should try and find some form of transport. 

You will need to get a licence from the Abu Dhabi police before you can purchase alcohol, it will be valid for one year.
