Beer House
The Beer House is a little downtrodden but if you are after some very nice beer it's hard to beat. The bartender can guide you through the complexities of the 120 types of beers on offer and provides good commentary with friendly service to boot. They usually recommend a fruity Belgian beer (try the peach). They also serve food and do a nice smoked meat platter. It's below street level in Gan Ha'em Park.

Rovers Return
An aerial version of the Amman expat favourite (it’s located in a mock lighthouse), this pub attracts a young crowd. If you’re British and feeling homesick, stay for fish and chips or bangers and mash (JD7) and watch three-screen football. The only downside is that the compact space can get oppressively smoky.

Rovers Return
A godsend for homesick Coronation St junkies, this is a popular and cosy English pub with wood panelling and a lively atmosphere. The comfort food includes authentic fish and chips, and roast beef with gravy. The entrance is round the back of the building and can be hard to find – look for the red ‘Comfort Suites’ sign.

Bear
The Bear is a popular Irish pub and is regarded as the city's main expat hang-out. Munch on pretzels and try to identify your favourite teams' scarf - it's bound to be on one of the walls. For meals, you can choose between salads, sandwiches, chicken, steak and seafood, washed down with your choice of 12 different draught beers.

Big Fellow Irish Pub
It looks like an Irish pub, it even smells like an Irish pub, but with Arabic music sliding out of the stereo, it doesn’t really sound like an Irish pub. If in doubt, tucking into a Guinness pie and a bread-and-butter pudding should put you in the right frame of mind.

Fibber Magee’s
This scruffy boozer isn’t about seeing and being seen – quite frankly, it’s a bit too dark for that. It’s Dubai’s most authentic Irish pub, with great ales, stouts and fat fish and chips to sop it all up. Tuesday is quiz night (arrive by 8pm). Great fun on match nights.

Underground Pub
A travellers' favourite, pub grub, easy music and nightly live entertainment including a popular Wednesday-night karaoke party. Cheap beer fuels a lively crowd. There are several outdoor pool tables and live sports on the big screen inside.

Double Decker
You’ll feel quite Piccadilly at this boozy, boisterous bi-level pub decked out in a London transport theme. Drinks promotions, quiz nights, English premiership football and better-than-average (by far) pub grub bring in the expat brat pack.

Hole in the Wall
For those wanting a break from cool interiors and guest DJs and needing a beer poured into a glass with a handle, this one's for you. It's a great little pub smack bang in the centre of Rue Monot, and it's a regular stop for expats.

Irish House
A classic Irish pub right down to the meat pies and pints of Guinness. Decorated with jerseys from around the globe and set up with multiple TVs showing sports, it's a good place to come and watch a football or rugby match.

M.A.S.H.
This long-time travellers' haunt has billiard tables, cheap beer and a friendly vibe. It's a good place to watch sports or just drink till you fall down (the name is short for More Alcohol Served Here).
