Where to watch British Lions in Dubai?

[Tim.C]

Good Afternoon All

I'm flying into Dubai on Sunday and staying at the Hilton Jumeirah Beach for 10 days of R&R. Can anyone suggest where I might watch the Lions on a Wednesday and Saturday?

Many thanks

Any of the mock pub/irish pub/sports bar places will have it on.

The Red Lion at the Metropolitan on SZR is probably the closest that I know to the Jumeirah beach but it's a bit of a hole. Longs Bar at the Towers Rotana, again on the SZR is much better.

I'm sure there's a pub at the JBH called the Dhow and Anchor which might show it and there's deffo a sports bar at the marina but I don't know it's name. There's also a load more pubs in town but...

I'm a big fan of Nezzasusi at the Al Manzil hotel near Burj Dubai (which is closer to you than heading into town) as it's a sports bar with a tilt towards rugby, southern hemisphere rugby, but rugby non the less. I think that's the place that's getting my vote.

Nezesaussi is the place to go.. get there early, grab a table and get some food - top pub grub. I watched all the autumn internationals there, as well as the day of the sevens I didn't get to.

Nezesaussi = NEw ZEaland / South Africa / aUSSI btw, so expect some saffa's in there to give you a ribbing..

You're right the food is good - I am a big fan of the 'Ref's Advocate' off the menu - a delicious combination of three types of meat, each with it's own sauce and some cheesy mash. Brilliant.

I'll need to make sure that I'm in Lions attire then - although the shirt might be a bit warm. I'll find a suitable t-shirt.

Hotel has AC + taxi has AC + bar has AC = shirt will be fine!
