The World Cup kicks off this weekend and if you’re still looking for a place that has a vibrant atmosphere to watch the action then head to Bidi Bondi in Dubai. 

Situated at Shoreline between buildings three and four at Palm Jumeirah, the venue is a firm favourite with sports fans due to its laid back vibe and big match day atmosphere.

Open to ages 21 and over, the venue will broadcast all 20:00, 23:00 and 02:00 matches during the four-week competition. 

To ensure fans don’t miss the action, the bar will have two projectors on the go, as well as 10 big screen televisions. With good vantage points throughout the venue, you will never miss an important goal, decision or incident.

While Bidi Bondi thrive on creating the right atmosphere for all big sporting occasions, the bar was also nominated this year for the Time Out magazine’s best bar food award so you can be sure you are going to get the best quality food as well.

If you’re feeling hungry during the matches then Bidi Bondi will have its own specialised food menu to run throughout the entire tournament.

Being an Australian sports bar, there will an authentic range of Aussie beverages as well as the world popular brands. There is also an outdoor terrace and although there will be no screens there you can chill and take in the beautiful views of the Burj Al Arab between games.
