  • Great ambience: The Underground Pub lets you enjoy the World Cup in a distinct environment.

    England’s first match is already in the books, and you can cheer on the likes of Wayne Rooney and Co while enjoying the best from the World Cup at The Underground Pub in Dubai.

    Located on the ground floor of the Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa on Jumeirah Beach, the pub is the perfect place to escape the summer heat and experience a distinct environment.

    “A lively meeting place in the style of the Metropolitan line, our English Pub in Dubai resonates to the vibrant beat of London and is just the ticket for an evening ride,” said Massimo Bernardi, Director of Food and Beverage, Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa.

    The venue boasts a combination of classic and modern style with its traditional brick walls and hardwood flooring accentuating the underground carriage-turned-bar.

    With 14 widescreen TVs and two big-screens, including a projection screen, patrons won’t miss out on a minute of the exciting football action.

    For those wanting a more private area, VIP carriages are on offer, equipped with personal plasma TVs and beverage dispensers.

    Dart boards and a pool table are also available for some competitive fun with friends.

    Between its indoor and outdoor seating facilities, the pub can accommodate around 200 people.

    Beverages based on the countries in the tournament highlight the menu, while the food features succulent starters like buffalo chicken wings, along with speciality dishes like fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and London curry.

    Meats from the grill, salads and a number of delectable sandwiches also round out the savoury list of options.

    The pub hosts Quiz Night each Wednesday, Ladies Night every Tuesday – offering house beverages for as little as Dh5 – and live musical entertainment throughout the week.

    A daily happy hour runs from 16:00 to 20:00 with Dh20 beverages on Monday to Thursday and Dh25 beverages from Friday to Sunday.

    With its brilliant amenities and ambiance, The Underground Pub is a venue not to be missed this summer.
