Why we recommend it
Fibber Magee's has been pouring pints behind Sheikh Zayed Road since 1996 and, despite the towers around it, keeps the relaxed, slightly hidden character of a neighbourhood local. It describes itself as Dubai's best-kept secret, and many regulars would agree.
The appeal is simple: honest pub food, a good range of beers, live bands and traditional Irish music sessions, plus a warm welcome. Fish and chips and shepherd's pie are long-standing favourites. It is a refreshing change from the polished hotel bars that dominate much of the city's nightlife, and a good place to watch a match. The pub is in Saeed Tower 1, a short walk from the World Trade Centre Metro station, and it can be easy to miss from the main road, so allow a few minutes to find the entrance.
