Summer is in full swing at PJ O’Reilly’s as the city’s first Irish pub brings back PJ’s Fanzone, a seasonal hotspot by the poolside of Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi, just in time for the biggest matches and moments of the season.

A mainstay in the UAE since 1993, PJ O’Reilly’s has long been known for its laid-back charm, hearty pub fare and unbeatable atmosphere.
