Good Pub Near Airport?
I'm flying home this week and it's a late night/early morning flight.
My plan is to leave the house around 8ish, go to a pub and have a nice bit of dinner and a few pints before checking in at the airport.
Can anyone recommend a good pub with nice food and near to DXB?

Le Meridien has some great places to eat.
I really would like 'surf n turf' some nice steak and jumbo breaded king shrimp, yummer!

Well Sukothai is excellent, with a decent wine selection too
Yalumba is the venue of the now infamous brunch
M's steak house is not too bad, and there is an Irish pub.
After you've finished you can walk to the airport in 10 mins

best place at meridien at the moment is the terrace - all inc food and hoegaarden for 190dhs or around that amount. Book first and don't go if it's raining.
there you go, in 3 weeks everyone on here will be talking about it as though they have just 'found' it, despite the fact it was refurbed last winter..

Why not? When the airport is busy and there is a huge queue to get onto the slip roads you don't get off by the road and walk across?
The walk is no further than when you get off the Heathrow Express in London.

Re: Good Pub Near Airport?
and for one I can't imagine you walking accross the dodgy roadworks to get there, although you will no doubt argue the point..
just don't give me any of that 'it was flabby' talk, as I may just throw up..

There is a walkway over the road that leads directly to the check in area.
And when the traffic was horrendous at the airport with a 20 min wait just to get into the airport grounds, yes, I used to get out by Le Meridien and walk. No big deal.
Just in the same way as when the taxi queue was stretching back to the door, I would walk across and catch a cab by Le Meridien.

Walk through the back of Le Meridien, along the side of the road and then cut across the long term car park. I have done it on several occassions.

I have walked both routes (and recently too) It's prerfectly manageable (and the roadworks are not so bad now).
Anyway...this was a thread about where he could go for a drink and food. So maybe it should return to one...

Has anybody mentioned Dubliners Arms at Le Meridien Village? They do good pub food and have a Happy Hour up to 8pm I believe. If you have a trolley suitcase, it will be a 15 minute stroll to the airport via the pedestrian underpass that takes you into the main carpark, near the mosque. No roadworks that side.
