In front of the Burj Khalifa, and behind Dubai Mall, there is Souk Al Bahar.

A busy, friendly place, peppered with restaurants.

But little did you know that upstairs is one of Dubai’s most amazing restaurants: the Claw BBQ – Crabshack – Grill!

And while the crowds enjoy their evening, wild fun can be had just a few steps away at the Claw – you might hear the laughter and party cheers from up-top!

It’s hard to describe the Claw – because it is so unique to Dubai.

Let’s see… imagine a TGI Friday’s on steroids. Or, no, wait! More than that… maybe a Chili’s where tequila shots are slammed on the bar counter…

Such is the Claw!!!

The entrance is discreet.

But when you get inside, the atmosphere explodes with fun!

Wall decorations are everywhere!

And there is seating outdoors, too.

The view is exceptional.

But the food is just insanely good!

Center-stage are crab claws:

Buckets of crab claws!

Starters are fantastic – here is the fresh guacamole!

Main courses are great in size as well as taste – choose from Texan beef brisket, or Louisiana pulled pork, Sloppy Joes, or from a selection of top American favorites.

The alcoholic drink list is amazing; I counted 32 available whiskeys, and I lost count at 40 brands of tequila.

And here is the cocktail menu, topping 100 combinations:

And if that’s not challenge enough for you, here’s the Claw’s open invite:

Overall, wild party or not, the Claw offers a very enjoyable evening out with great atmosphere, awesome food, super-friendly service, and I would say guarantees a real fun time!

And the location is slap, bang in the center of Dubai, for a night of never-ending entertainment.
