The Best Pubs For A Cosy Weekend

January 20, 2023

With this questionable weather we’ve been having, what could be better than spending the weekend in a cosy pub with a few drinks and some comfort food? Here is our guide to the best pubs in Dubai that feel just like home!

McCafferty’s

With three locations in Dubai, you don’t have to go far to find a McCafferty’s pub. The Irish chain is known for its hearty portions of homely food and one of the longest happy hours in Dubai. You’ll find a menu full of traditional pub classics like the gar’licky chicken kiev, steak and kidney pie and a daily roast. If you’re a spice bag fan, try the Irish crispy chicken spice bag loaded fries or the new spice bag pizza. You’ll find Guinness, Kilkenny and Magners on draught, as well as a huge variety of bottled beers, wines, spirits and cocktails.

Underground Pub

This London Underground-themed pub has been a favourite with Dubai residents for many years. You’ll find some great value, tasty pub grub with dishes including toad in the hole, all day full English breakfast and a selection of savoury pies. There are plenty of pool tables to challenge the mates to a game or two, and you’ll find live sports on the multiple screens throughout the pub.

JB’s Gastropub

For a slightly more upmarket pub experience, JB’s Gastropub is the perfect spot for a catch-up with friends over a few drinks. The menu features some incredibly unique British and American creations like sausage by the metre, tacos and tequila and boards and wines. There is also a great selection of pork dishes, including pork rind nibbles, scotch eggs and a pork sampler.

Crown and Lion

The Crown and Lion is a cosy, traditional British sports bar with live entertainment, homemade pub food and pretty much every bevvie you could ask for. The pub is multi-award winning, picking up three Time Out Dubai nightlife awards in 2022. There are plenty of screens showing live games and darts and pool tables to keep you entertained.

The Irish Village

The Irish Village offers a little piece of Ireland right here in Dubai. There is a gorgeous beer garden, but if the weather isn’t too good, you can sit and chill indoors with a pint and some great comfort food. The menu has some classics, including chicken pie, cottage pie and the roast of the day. There are two locations in Dubai, so you’re never too far away from an Irish Village.
