The Good Stuff
Vegan choice
The menu includes multiple vegan options, notably a vegan nut roast and banana walnut cake.
Live music
Live music regularly adds energy without always overwhelming conversation; one reviewer enjoyed a vocalist that was not too loud.
Beer garden
The semi-outdoor beer garden gives the pub a relaxed setting, and undercover seating has accommodated guests bringing dogs.
Group friendly
A large colleagues’ leaving do was handled with friendly, attentive service, making the venue workable for group occasions.
Darts
Darts adds a casual activity alongside dinner and drinks, rather than leaving the evening centred only on the table.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Sundays. For the signature roast, visit on Sunday and consider the lamb version with Yorkshire pudding and mint sauce.
Use happy hour. Happy hour was reported as running from 12 to 8 pm in one review; check current terms before relying on that timing.
Ask seating. If smoke bothers you, ask to move tables; staff accommodated a guest who wanted to avoid cigarette smoke.
Bring dogs. Dog owners can ask for undercover outside seating; one Christmas lunch guest brought a dog there.
Allow time. For a smoother meal, avoid peak bookings or allow extra time, since one visitor experienced a delay getting food.

The Bottom Line
The Black Sheep is a British gastropub in Jumeirah Lake Towers built around relaxed pub dining, drinks and a lively social atmosphere. You can come for the Sunday roast, order pub staples such as the smash burger, calamari or fish and chips, or make an evening of it with live music and darts. The semi-outdoor beer garden adds another setting, including undercover seating that has worked well for dog owners.
The Sunday roast is the clearest draw. Reviews mention tender lamb, homemade Yorkshire puddings, mint sauce and extra gravy, although one Father's Day guest felt the portions were not as filling as at other venues. Vegan diners are better catered for than the usual pub menu might suggest, with a vegan nut roast and banana walnut cake specifically praised.
Drinks are part of the appeal: customers mention house ale, Belgian beer and a broad selection of brews, while a detailed review reported happy-hour prices for spirits, wine and cocktails. Check current offers before visiting. Service is generally described as warm and attentive, but food has taken a while during one visit.
Construction noise outside and cigarette smoke were also reported, so ask about seating if either could bother you.
