Evening Brunch For Stag
Hello All
We have a stag coming up and the usual talk is already happening (activity crap in day....darkside tour....) The one thing we need is an evening brunch before the dark side. We want something that would fit a typical stag. A cheap no thrills brunch, suggestions so far have been The Locker Room and Flavors on two.
Can anyone think of any others or recommend any?
Cheers

Re: Evening Brunch For Stag
I just have to say that brunch is joining of breakfast and lunch so how can you have one in the evening? It's one of those 'Dubaiisms' that irritates.
Al Murooj and most Rotanas have all-in evening meals, but have you looked in Time Out? Other places do them, but not every night, so it depends what evening you want.

Brunch is what you have mid-morning. Spot the "nouveux riches" and the "arrivistes"

Re: Evening Brunch For Stag
You're looking for a buffet not a brunch, I believe.

Re: Evening Brunch For Stag
Thank you for the replies.
Yes I know what brunch means and yes I do understand it is a buffet we are looking for. I didn't realize people would get so upset with calling it an evening brunch, its just a term that is often used out here. No need to get upset

We're not upset. Wait until you see upset! You're just being gently corrected, that's all.

Flavours might be a little quiet and civilised depending on what kind of Stag doo it's going to be.

Flavours is good if you all smoke...reason being you have to go down to Longs bar for a salmon. At which point you play a game and the loser buys everyone a jagerbomb.

May have just been unlucky but stag do's don't tolerate tardiness with grog.

Re: Evening Brunch For Stag
Rather amusingly, the Wikipedia entry for 'brunch' makes reference to Dubai
"In Dubai
'Friday Brunch' is considered something of an institution in Dubai. Many large hotels offer an all inclusive drinks and food buffet during early afternoons, and large groups of ex-pats and tourists make this the highlight of their weekend, with parties going on well into the night. Prices vary, starting at around AED 100 () up to AED 550 (). The cheaper brunches sometimes have limits on the number of alcoholic drinks that are included in the price. The latter usually involves gourmet food and limitless champagne.
