For that memorable St. Patrick’s Day celebration…

March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, and a celebration of all things Irish. On that note, here are 5 Irish pubs in Abu Dhabi you should check out.

McCafferty’s

One of the capital’s premier Irish pubs, McCafferty’s is the place when you want to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, enjoy a great football game, catch Six Nations action, or just unwind with the mates after a long week. Sip on your favourite hops, grapes and cocktails at unbeatable prices.

McCafferty’s, Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island, 9am to 8pm daily. @mccaffertysyas

McGettigan’s

McGettigan's Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi

In addition to being one of the top Irish bars in the capital with a great pick of hops and an all-round fun vibe, McGettigan’s food’s great too. You could get the McGettigan’s Signature Burger, our personal favourite, with angus beef, veal bacon, aged cheddar, sweet pickles and Ballymaloe relish, as you sip on what’s on tap. You know where to go when it’s St. Patrick’s Day.

McGettigan’s, Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi, Muroor Road, Abu Dhabi, 3pm to 3am, noon to 3am on weekends. Tel: (0)2 698 8137. @dusitthaniabudhabi
