ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 20, 2015A pub wouldn't be fun if it weren't noisy! I like McGettigan's for the crowd it brings in even on the working days. Not to be missed if you enjoy Irish pubs and looking for a lively night outUpvote10Downvote
Sencer OzbekFebruary 6, 2015Friday Brunch with friends is fun. Good variety of food and all you can drink alcohol! What can I ask more?

You either love it or hate it. Irish pub cum sports bar cum beer garden. Can get pretty crowded during sporting events and weekends. Good place for a casual drinks, nothing fancy. Indoor and outdoor.Upvote3Downvote
They have pool and most sports shown on television and big most European events shown on a big screen

Neel MitraMarch 10, 2012Modern decor. Beautiful people. Great buzz. Kilkenny that tastes different (over chilled maybe) from anywhere else and that's not a compliment!Upvote1Downvote
Joel MOctober 31, 2014Great overall atmosphere. One of my favourite burgers in town (real pork bacon). Prices are a bit high. Staff a bit rude sometimes.Upvote1Downvote
Werther VeulemansJuly 13, 2019The brunch is definitely Irish/British oriented. But worth to do it!Upvote1Downvote

Fantastic brunch lots of food and very good priceUpvote2Downvote- xxx bebebeOctober 10, 201438dhs or 10$ is the price here for this. margins are lower here because taxes on fermented high fructose sugars ( alcoholic ) are higher than elswhere - so u are better of ordering food in fact.

The best place to view English Premier League football, including all the 3PM Saturday kick-offs across various screens!UpvoteDownvote
Alexandros LunziFebruary 17, 2014A bit overcrowded at times and loud, but the best place for a Guiness, when in JLT.UpvoteDownvote
Rita CheDecember 18, 2014Great place for breakfast! Irish style and nice fresh Guinness! Mmmm👍UpvoteDownvote
Murat SongürJanuary 22, 2013After 22:00 try two things: Chips With Parmesan, Garlic and Herbs Sauce, and Scampi With ChipsUpvote1Downvote- Alexander LarikovDecember 10, 2011Nice place, good service. Music is not too loud, and cost of beer like in other plaсes in Dubai. Like itUpvote1Downvote
Mert ÖzençMay 5, 2019nice atmosphere but crazy expensive beer. if you are a football fan, good choice for youUpvoteDownvote
Was charged for items we did not have, and then made to wait 90 mins while staff ‘checked security cameras’. Manager was terribly rude, and no apology followed after items were taken off the bill.Upvote1Downvote- The best place for a week of unwinding with great beer, food n music.UpvoteDownvote
Signature hot wings are the best with a nice cold beer. Enjoy!Upvote2Downvote

Toby MassonFebruary 3, 2013Changed my mind, this place is a smelly, soulless, noisy dive with an unfriendly atmosphere and terrible service. It attracts the kind of idiots who think that identikit "Irish" pubs are brilliant!Upvote4Downvote
Matt HolmesDecember 14, 2012The Chilli Cheese fries are awesome, especially with a pint of the black stuffUpvote1Downvote- Love this place but the live band can get a bit too loudUpvote4Downvote
It's no joke when they say "fat chips". Looks like pieces of fish! (Side bar: #helloboys)

Eileen LeeMarch 19, 2011Great lighting with lots of wood decor like a mountain lodge and a huge outdoor space to boot!UpvoteDownvote
Cool place to hang out. Good place to watch football.UpvoteDownvote
Paul MakarusJuly 14, 2017Good atmosphere but spoiled by on mass smoking everywhere. Not worth going if you can't handle smoking wall to wall. Dubai is a bit backward regarding that. Unfortunately.UpvoteDownvote
Patricia FranklinMarch 17, 2014The service never gets better. Such a miserable bunch of wait staff. It's St Paddy's day lunch and it's already miserable atmosphere. Hope they cheer up tonight.UpvoteDownvote- Franco ScottFebruary 26, 2011Nice beer garden, great large outdoor screen, but they don't do shisha :(Upvote3Downvote
Its St. Patties day and the service is particularly atrocious and the waiters have no cheer or smile. Here for lunch and its quiet so no excuse for the neglectful, lazy staff.Upvote1Downvote
