The Good Stuff
Sunday roast
The Sunday roast earns repeated praise for tender meat, crisp potatoes, fresh vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and generous portions.
Non-smoking bar
The main bar is non-smoking, with a separate smoking room for guests who want that option without smoke in the seating area.
Steak quality
A reviewer found the steak fresh and excellent, while another said the steak and salmon exceeded expectations.
Quiet acoustics
Even when busy, the acoustics can make conversation comfortable rather than forcing everyone to shout over the bar.
Big portions
Several reviews describe generous servings, including the Sunday roast and the broader food menu.
Happy hour
Daily promotions and happy hour deals are mentioned as useful ways to reduce the cost of drinks.
Tips for a Better Visit
Order drinks. For faster service during a match, consider ordering at the bar rather than waiting for table delivery.
Check match. Confirm the exact fixture and screening plan before arriving; one rugby visitor found that rugby was not being shown.
Confirm deals. Ask which beers are included in happy hour before ordering, since Asahi was reportedly excluded despite the guest’s assumption.
Try roast. Sunday is the time to consider the roast: reviewers specifically praised the beef, fish, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding.
Choose seating. If smoke matters, request the non-smoking main bar; reviews say the smoking room is separate.
Visit quieter. Allow extra time at busy periods, as older reviews say orders may take longer when the bar fills up.

Popular Mentions
Toasted beef with vegetables
One guest singled out the toasted beef with vegetables as delicious, well cooked and attractively presented.
Vegan bangers and mash
A review of the changing menu called the vegan bangers and mash one of its real gems.
Butter chicken poutine
Butter chicken poutine is another specifically praised item from the menu’s Asian-influenced period.
10 beers on draught
One review reported a draught selection of 10 beers, useful for visitors choosing Netz for drinks and sport.
Common Concerns
Slow service
Service can drag, with one table waiting 25 minutes for drinks and older reviews reporting delays when the bar is busy.
Game coverage
A recent visitor arrived for rugby and found no rugby being shown, so the advertised sports focus may not guarantee a particular match.
Drink pricing
A reviewer reported coffee at 35AED and a bill of 210AED for three double espressos and three colas.
Food consistency
Not every meal lands equally well: one review called the food average, while another criticised the wings, corn and sweet-potato chips.
Deal confusion
Check happy-hour inclusions carefully: one guest ordered Asahi believing it was included, then found the drinks were charged at full price.

The Bottom Line
Netz is a Downtown Dubai hotel grill and sports bar where the main draw is catching live sport across multiple screens while eating substantial pub-style food. Reviews point to the Sunday roast as the standout order: beef, fish or salmon come with vegetables and traditional sides, with the Yorkshire pudding and generous portions getting particular attention. Steaks, salmon and toasted beef with vegetables also receive good marks.
The room is described as cosy, peaceful and lively without becoming too loud. Its non-smoking main bar is a useful detail, especially since smoking is confined to a separate room. There are also pool tables, happy-hour offers and a history of quizzes and sports events, giving groups more to do than simply watch one match.
Service is less consistent. Some guests describe friendly, attentive staff, but others report slow food and drinks, including a 25-minute wait for table-served drinks during a football quarter-final. Ordering at the bar may be quicker.
Check the fixture before making a rugby trip—one recent reviewer found no rugby on screen—and confirm which drinks qualify for happy hour. Pricing can sting outside the deals, with one guest reporting 35AED coffee and 210AED for three double espressos and three colas.
