The Good Stuff
Sports viewing
Giant screens, including outdoor displays, make live matches a central part of the experience.
Outdoor seating
The large terrace gives smokers and sports fans an alternative to the indoor bar.
Beer choice
Reviews point to a notably broad beer selection, including BrewDog PUNK IPA and stout options.
Pub food
Shepards pie, Fish & Chips, chicken burgers and sandwiches are among the dishes customers mention positively.
Customer care
The team once traced archived itemised receipts weeks after a visit to help with an airline reimbursement claim.
Happy hour
A long happy hour is repeatedly useful for visitors watching their drinks spend.
Tips for a Better Visit
Sit outside. Choose the terrace if indoor smoke concerns you; it also has giant sports screens and live performers.
Check music. Ask what is playing before settling in if live music matters, as reviews describe uneven singers and sound.
Use happy hour. Check the current happy-hour window before ordering; one customer specifically described it as long.
Expect match crowds. Arrive early for major football games, when the pub can become especially busy.
Check receipts. Keep your till receipts and request itemised invoices if you may need reimbursement later.
Try beer. If food is not your priority, focus on the beer selection; one review found the burger disappointing but the beers strong.

The Bottom Line
Biggles Pub in Al Garhoud is a British-style aviation pub built around drinks, sport and a lively social atmosphere. You can order pub classics such as Shepards pie, Fish & Chips or Chicken Supreme, then watch live matches on giant screens, including outdoors. A pool table and darts add to the sports-bar appeal.
The setting is one of its clearest draws: dark wood, aviation memorabilia, outdoor seating and a good beer selection give it more character than a generic hotel bar. Customers also mention live bands and cover artists, although the music is not consistently praised. Happy hour and occasional discounts can make the drinks better value, but feedback on food pricing and portions is mixed.
The main caution is smoking. Several reviews describe strong cigarette smells and weak ventilation indoors, so non-smokers, asthmatics and families will likely prefer the terrace. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, but there are also reports of slow drinks, confusing table reservations and occasional lapses in staff manner.
For a major game, arrive early because the room can fill up. If you are transiting or staying near the airport, the pub’s location close to Terminal 3 makes it a practical stop for a drink before flying.
