Why we recommend it

The Irish Village has been a Garhoud institution since the mid-1990s, and its large garden, shaded by trees and set around a small lake with ducks, is the main draw. It sits beside the Dubai Tennis Stadium and close to GGICO Metro station on the Red Line, so it is easy to reach from the airport side of the city.

Inside, it has a traditional Irish pub interior, and the programme includes regular live music, big sporting events on screen and seasonal parties. The menu sticks to pub classics. It opens from 11am daily, staying open until 1am through the week and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. The garden is at its best from November to March, when evenings are mild enough to sit out for hours.
