The Red Lion Bar

Established within the original Metropolitan Hotel in 1979, The Red Lion is one of Dubai’s original pubs and a much-loved institution within itself. A traditional English public house like no other in the city, serving up hearty British fare alongside live sports, music and a hearty dose of warm, welcoming charm from the pub landlord! One of the best things about us is its central location – meaning that you can gather mates from various ends of the city and still all make it in time to catch kick-off.

Cozy booths and low, faux beam-lined ceilings lend the room a snug, homely feel that even the swathes of unused space around the room can’t undermine, while the sheer volume of TV screens lining the walls means you’ll never have to crane your neck to catch the day’s match action.

It’s the home of Manchester United supporters in Dubai, so if you’re a fan then you have a new go-to spot right there. And during match days it gets busy, so expect a bustling vibe and plenty of fans.
