The Good Stuff
Karaoke Nights
Karaoke is a genuine draw, with Wednesday sessions repeatedly described as lively and fun for groups.
Large Portions
Several diners found the portions generous; one said the chicken Alfredo was too large to finish.
Billiards Area
A separate area with billiards and mind games gives groups something to do beyond watching the match.
Free Valet
Customers staying or visiting the Sheraton can use the free valet parking mentioned in reviews.
Quiet Corners
Although lively during events, some visits were calm enough for conversation without excessive noise.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Karaoke. If singing is the main plan, check the Wednesday karaoke schedule before going.
Ask Promotions. Ask the bar about current happy-hour offers; one review recorded Guinness at Aed 50 and Heineken at Aed 40.
Use Valet. For driving visitors, ask Sheraton valet staff about the free valet parking mentioned by customers.
Avoid Rush. For faster service, consider an off-peak visit rather than a busy match night.
Confirm Promises. If management promises compensation or a complimentary arrangement, confirm the details with the team before ordering.

The Bottom Line
O’Learys is a sports bar and restaurant inside the Sheraton at Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha, geared towards match nights, casual dinners and group outings. Large screens make football, Formula 1, UFC, rugby and tennis easy to follow, while karaoke adds a more social option—especially on Wednesdays. There is also a separate billiards and games area.
Food reviews are strongest around familiar bar dishes. Customers specifically mention the chicken quesadillas, sliders, burgers, wings, Alfredo and slow-cooked short rib; portions are often described as generous, though one diner found a platter too small for its price and another was disappointed by a burger that did not resemble its screen advertisement. Drinks range from coffee and mocktails to cocktails and draught beer.
The atmosphere can shift from relaxed and conversation-friendly to lively during karaoke or major matches. Friendly, attentive service is a recurring theme, but one review says it can lag when busy. Free valet parking at the Sheraton is a useful practical detail.
If you are relying on a promotion or promised compensation, confirm it with the team before settling the bill.
