Jekyll & Hyde

Can this authentic British pub bring something fresh to the DIFC?

Did they decorate this place by raiding my mum’s living room?” That’s the way our dining partner summed up the quirky interior of Jekyll & Hyde, a new British pub that’s just opened in DIFC.

Brought to you by the same team behind Dubai Marina’s The Scene, it’s almost guaranteed to make visiting Brits feel like they’re at home, from the furniture to the retro ornaments and art prints. The theme continues with the menu, which is overflowing with Britishisms, promising “proper chips”, “bottles of plonk” and a ladies’ night called “totties on the town”. OK, guys.
