Joe's Backyard Gastropub

Joe’s Backyard is the ultimate laid-back, chilled-out spot for sundowners, lunch, dinner, brunch…whatever you want – Joe’s is the perfect place for it. Tuck into Authentic braii dishes for a true BBQ experience. With two branches at Dubai Festival City and Jumeirah Islands, Joe’s caters to the whole of Dubai with excellent food from a irresistible menu.

What we liked

Whether you choose to visit Festival City or Jumeirah Islands, the views at both spots are out of this world. When the weather is cool, we love to park ourselves on the Jumeirah Islands terrace and listen to the water babbling below is as the sun sets in the distance over JLT. It can get busy so be sure to make reservations!

What we didn't

There isn’t much to dislike to be honest. It’s relaxed with a great DJ, good food and nice vibes. If you want something a little upmarket with snappy service then maybe this isn’t the place for you.
