1. Bidi Bondi
Aussie-themed bar Bidi Bondi is a paradise for any sports fanatic. Screening all the big Premier League matches, you’ll love its laid-back vibes and quiet address on the Palm. Come down on Fridays and Saturdays where they’re offering five drinks (or four drinks plus a meal) for AED 145.

2. The Locker Room
Grab a chair at The Locker Room where they’re offering a bucket of Heineken or Budweiser for AED 99, or a bucket of Corona for AED 119.
