July 4 is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States. This Independence Day, dress up in your best red, white and blue and fill up on American-themed food and drinks in one of these three restaurants:
The Sportsman’s Arms
First Floor, International Tennis Centre, Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi
This American-Irish gastropub in Zayed Sports City is introducing a new American dish to celebrate the fourth of July. Jack’s glazed short rib poutine (OK, so it’s a little Canadian too) comes with a pile of bite-sized homemade cheddar cheese curds smothered in brown gravy. That’s all set atop a pile of fries of course. The new dish will be served July 4 from noon onward for Dh90. The Sportsman’s Arms is also introducing poutine and grape night every Tuesday starting July 12. From 4pm onward, guests can choose one of three poutine dishes from Dh99. 02 403 4235
Original Wings & Rings
Level C, Liberty House, DIFC, Dubai
Head to this American sports bar in Dubai to celebrate July 4th with a special set menu. Guests can feats on a three-course meal with options that include American staples such as nachos, onion rings and the restaurant’s signature chicken wings. Available on July 4 from noon onward. Three courses for Dh99. 04 359 6900
Claw BBQ
Souk Al Bahar, Dubai
On July 4, it’s all about the USA in this trendy eatery. The entire restaurant will be decked out in red, white and blue and there will be celebratory red, white and blue drinks on offer. In addition to all the snow and king crab on the menu, you’ll get a taste of popular American grub such as corn dogs, Buffalo hot wings, chilli cheese fries, fish tacos, eight different burgers and a range of sweet and smoky barbecue options. Also on the day, My Ex Wardrobe will set up in The Barn where ladies can shop for gently used clothing. Shoppers who visit between 7.30pm and 10.30pm will get three free drinks (red, white and rose) and complimentary bites. 04 432 2300
