24 teams, 51 games, millions of fans, but only one winner…
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you’ll know that June 10th marked the day when Dubai and the rest of the world were gripped by a football frenzy as the Euro 2016 kicked off in France. And what better entertainment than a major international tournament to keep us enthralled this summer.
There’s still a whole week left to watch the drama unfold in a variety of bars showcasing the matches. Here’s my list of the best places to cheer your team on!
Story Rooftop
Story are going one step further than your average venue by transforming their whole space from a chilled out lounge bar into a stadium. With hospitality boxes, multiple TV’s, AstroTurf, and even a six-tiered stand you’ll feel right at the heart of the game. And if it all gets too tense for you then how about challenging your friends to a game of fuss-ball or PlayStation.
