Thursday, January 28

1. Visit a cool new gastropub

Foxglove Dubai Pub Soho Garden

Brand new gastropub Foxglove has officially opened at Soho Garden complete with fantastic deals such as happy hours, a ladies’ night and a business lunch. The setting is stunning and certainly reminiscent of a real British pub with warm oak panelling, exposed brick and leather and checked studded seating. There are even mini black street lamps here and there, paying ode to the London of old.
