The beverage is slightly overpriced, and due to the lack of nibbles offered at this price, I will deduct a star. They charge 55 AED for a pint of Strongbow or Heineken, but nothing comes with it.
Upon arrival, I ordered a pint of beer and noticed they had an offer for a pint plus a burger for 99 AED. However, they informed me that I had to order another beer to avail the offer because it was already "punched" in the system (that's what he said!).
Happy hour is until 9 pm, which might explain why this pub is not very popular. When I arrived at 21:10 (10 minutes after happy hour), they promptly informed me that happy hour had already ended.
Of course, the staff is kind and nice. This is Dubai, habibi, where everywhere is like this.
There's a good collection of music playing in the background, neither too loud nor too low, which is nice. The environment looks very clean, and the seats are very comfortable. There are two big screens, but they constantly play cricket instead of football (that's what she said). Usually, in pubs, you can find something memorable, like a statue or a big logo, but here, there's nothing. Old bricks on the ceiling and dusty chandeliers were supposed to create a nostalgic decoration, but RGB lights ruined it. Each table has a small ashtray, but the pub doesn't smell like a smoke-free place due to good ventilation.
They don't have wireless internet! The name of the Wi-Fi is OPPO_E4E21E, which is probably a mobile hotspot.
Regarding the food, I deducted another star for it. I don't know why they think they're too classy! From a classy establishment, all they have is high prices and small portions of food :) The fish was extremely small, and the chips were absolutely without any salt. Should I put salt on them? Have you ever received chips without salt without asking for it? I guess they are so considerate about my health. The taste was good, though. I had to ask for mayonnaise for the chips.
My final recommendation: It could be a choice if you live nearby, but it isn't worth driving all the way to this pub for something overpriced in a very ordinary atmosphere.
