Head to a new Irish spot

There’s a new Irish pub which just opened in Circle Mall, Jumeirah Village Circle. McCafferty’s is all about ‘true Irish craic’. It’s set to be a great sport for live music and live sports are also a big part of McCafferty’s charm so you can expect to keep up with all the big games at the new Irish pub. The brand cites itself as the ‘ultimate sports hub in JVC’, so get this on the group chat.
