Belgian Beer Cafe, Dubai

The Belgian Beer Cafe is located at the lobby level of the Crown Plaza Festival City. The location and atmosphere combine for a fun experience, not to mention the wide variety of authentic Belgian and European beers.

UAL Crews get a 20% discount on the food, but not the booze. Their signature dish is a plate of mussels served in a few different styles. They can also whip up a mean plate of sausages and mashed potatoes. If you're in the mood for more of a snack, go for the french fries. These delectable fries a cooked in an oil that is probably banned in the US, and come complete with a small cup of mayonaisse to be true to the euro-style. These fries will russle up your european memories, but jsut don't plan on getting a cholesterol check for a few days...

Smoking is allowed in the indoor bar, so that can be a bother if it's crowded. Head outside if the temperature is bearable for a more relaxed atmosphere. Prices are high all around. Expect to pay 30-40 Dirhams for a big beer (about $9-10). Food prices are also on the high side, but the %20 discount makes it bearable.
