The European Championships and Wimbledon just concluded in exciting fashion, but there’s plenty of sport still left this summer to catch at one of Dubai’s premier dining venues, Urban Bar & Kitchen.

Located at Movenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Cluster A, UBK has quickly become a fan favourite in the emirate since opening in 2013.

If you missed out on enjoying the venue’s fun-loving atmosphere during the Euros, fear not because there are still a number of major sporting events coming up, including but not limited to The Open Championship, Test cricket, Formula One grand prix and of course, the Olympics.

UBK can accommodate up to 300 guests indoors and in the air conditioned tent, while boasting a whopping 23 screens and two HD projectors to watch the action on. There are even three newly-renovated private booth areas with each offering premium viewing for the ultimate fan experience.

It wouldn’t be a viewing party without UBK’s extensive selection of food and beverages.

Share a platter of tasty pub food such as loaded nachos or crispy wings with friends, family and colleagues, or grab a gourmet burger, with the local favourite starting from Dh65.

For seafood lovers, the pot of fresh mussels cooked in your choice of broths is a must-try and will have you coming back for more.

Wash it all down with cold drinks, including a buck-load promotion of five bottles for Dh130, or a selected beverages for Dh25.

Happy hour runs from 20:30 to 22:30 daily and the price is as low as Dh19 on selected beverages.

If you’re looking for things to do outside of watching sport, UBK always has something going on throughout the week. Take part in quiz night on Mondays with Big Rossi from Virgin Radio for the chance to walk away with prizes like brunch for eight (worth Dh2,400).

Ladies night is on Wednesday, bringing a mix of music, free drink deals and even a live violin act.

Friday Brunch is the place to be when the weekend hits, with a live band and all you can drink on selected beverages from 15:30 to 18:30 for Dh175.

When the weather does get cooler in the next few months, this turns into a BBQ Brunch in the outdoor garden. UBK is open from 12:30 to 03:00 daily.
