  I tried out this bar on the weekend and I have to say that a bar that is non-smoking and had a very chilled out environment on a weekend which was very surprising. The vibes were good the music wasn’t very loud and on top of all the service was pretty quick plus the lighting it was a total package and they offer great deals on zomato and shukran card. Our servers for the night were Racquel and Prabhath.Food ordered:1)Scorch eggs – Had a nice outer layer of chicken and semi-cooked eggs filling on the inside I tried this dish for the first time and it was pretty good 2)Garlic/mozzarella flatbread- These are cooked fresh in the over and are a great snacking item with the drinks.3)Prawn cocktail – Its a type of salad in which the prawns are made from a cocktail sauce with small tomatoes and other healthy items. It was healthy yet delicious to have.4)Fish and chips – The fish and chips come with 2 large pieces of fried fish and for sides, it had Mashed peas. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to taste as good as it tasted and it’s definitely a worth it dish to order5)Chicken kiev – These are breaded chicken fillets that have been cut and are served with mash potatoes and beans on the side to have with. Its a total package and it’s good for 2 people.6)Welsh Rarebit – We had ordered this dish not knowing exactly what it was and basically it’s a garlic bread that has the topping of tuna and melted cheese on it. The dish is super creamy and delicious.For drinks, we had ordered the Whiskey pop, Hoppy English, Afro safari and we really enjoyed the afro safari among all the drinks we had ordered. The bartender Prabhath made really good drinks and made it according to our liking. They also offer many varieties of beer which arent available in UAE and are exported from different countries.For desserts, we had ordered the raspberry cheesecake and as always its the one item i love the most.Overall had a great time with my friends and would definitely visit this location again.

  One of the most adorable places to chill after work/ weekends. Loved the fact that it is quite unique – its a non-smoking pub, but u can get out to have a smoke! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here as not only there was good ol’ brit food (must-haves is the garlic flatbread, stag style prawn cocktail [non-veg] and the bread and butter pudding) but Prabhat served us with some amazing cocktails & shot, whisky pop, stagarita and caribbean breeze being my favourites! I love how this place is not too loud, n probably also perfect for date/ beer night! Also, their menu is quite different with a focus on British cuisine. The ploughman’s lunch is something you would want to try only if you really want to have something different/ aware of the taste. It consists of 3 types of cheese (one of them is blue cheese – a rarely liked cheese) with bread, salad, pickle, ham. It was something new to me and while I love cheese, there definitely was a lot of cheese for 2! Perfect to have this with wine!Garlic flatbread/ pizzas are made from their oven fresh and hence quite tasty and obviously a perfect pair with the drinksThe Eton Mess, again a British inspired dessert which looks beautiful and becomes a mess while eating only, perfect for whipped cream lovers, personally I am not a fan of whipped cream! The bread and butter pudding was heavenly – you top it with custard and u taste heaven, seriously – it was soo soft & had the perfectly balanced taste ever!! A must must have, kudos to the chefs for this!Overall loved the place, hospitality (Prabhat knew just everything!!), food and drinks. Also, interesting enough this place has the lads night where guys get nice discounts! I have so much yet to try out here, definitely going back.
