Brooklyn Bar
Elite Byblos Hotel, Al Barsha
Brooklyn Bar has been a long standing fixture in the list of board venues, but their recent upgrade from one board to five (!!!) has quickly made it the go-to hub for Dubai's social darts scene.
There's a house knockout competition every tuesday night, and impromptu tournaments most other nights too if enough players are in. As well as DPME league matches most Thursdays.
Good prices, good atmosphere, great staff and management. Dubai Darts' #1 right now.

Mcgettigans JLT
Voco Bonnington Hotel, Cluster J, JLT
McGetts in JLT has been a mainstay of Dubai's Darts (and indeed social) scene for decades now. Two boards in 'The Baggott' out back, and as we write there is a promise of this being extended to four or five boards in the coming weeks.
Not the best prices in town, but it's a solid venue and there's always a crowd in for a throw. It's also been a DPME league venue forever, AND Chef Derek's Pork Belly Popcorn is the stuff of absolute Legend!

Fibber Magee's - Barsha heights
Social Hotel, Barsha Heights
The drinking establishment formerly known as The Crown & Lion has changed in name but not in much else to be honest.
The two-board set-up for darts is still very much the same - nice space if you can deal with the overenthusiastic A/C and completely oblivious walk-throughs.
Fibber's has great beer choices, and they do a solid midweek 3-hour brunch offer for 240 AED including 5 pints and as many appetizers as you want. #Deal

The Goose & Gander
Holiday Inn Express, Dubai Internet City
A fresh addition into McGettigans' rapidly growing portfolio, and into the list of favourable darts venues in Dubai.
The Goose & Gander boasts two permanent boards, neatly contained away from through traffic, and well lit.
The venue is a slight departure on the normal McGetitigans offering in terms of menu and deals, but the vibe is very similar - get down and try it out.

SIPS 'N' TAPS
Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, World Trade Centre
Sips holds a special place in the heart of many Dubai darters. It isn't the best set-up, it isn't the best atmosphere, and doesn't have the best prices, but it IS unique. Often you will find resident DJ cum singer Ringo belting out his favourite ballads - regardless of whether you are throwing or not. The single board is well placed and normally undisturbed, but the oche itself is not fixed which can sometimes frustrate. Good burger & beer deal in happy hour.

Ramee Rose Hotel, Barsha Heights
Small venue, good for TV sports, but maybe not so great for darts. Single board at one end, slightly hampered by surrounding tables.
