The Good Stuff
Match viewing
Large screens and football coverage make it a practical place to watch games.
Pub games
The upstairs area has a pool table and darts for casual games with friends.
Roast value
A reported AED250 deal covered two roasts and a bottle of wine, with generous portions and crispy Yorkshire puddings.
Quiet setting
It can be calm enough to sit with a laptop and work, particularly when the pub is not crowded.
Friendly team
Several reviews describe attentive, accommodating service, including during busy family meals.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Confirm the opening time before walking over: one diner found the advertised noon opening was actually 5pm.
Book booths. Reserve and reconfirm your table if you want a booth; seating management has been inconsistent.
Check bills. Review the bill before paying, especially after changing or replacing drinks, because double charging was reported.
Choose downstairs. Choose the downstairs area if you want non-smoking seating; reviews describe upstairs as the smoking area.
Use specials. Check current promotions such as Happy Hour, Lady’s Night or Wing Night before ordering.
Avoid peak times. Expect the pub to get busy when shows finish or major matches are on; quieter visits suit laptop time better.

The Bottom Line
The Rose & Crown is a British-style pub in Al Habtoor City, Business Bay, with a two-floor layout, sports screens and a recognisably English pub menu. You can come for Fish and Chips, a Sunday roast, wings or a Guinness and steak pie, then stay for football, pool or darts. It is also close to La Perle, making it useful for a pre-show drink or meal.
The strongest reviews describe tasty, solid pub food and friendly service. The roast deal reported in one review was AED250 for two roasts and a bottle of wine, with generous portions and crispy Yorkshire puddings. Other visitors praised the wings, calamari, burgers and Rose & Crown lager.
There is nearby large parking, and the downstairs area is non-smoking; upstairs contains the pool table, darts and smoking area. Service is the main variable. Recent reviews mention long food waits, poor table handling and an advertised noon opening that turned out to be 5pm.
Draft drinks have also been called watery, while billing mistakes and double charging were reported. Check the opening time, reservation and final bill before settling in. Happy Hour, Wing Night and other specials may make the pricing easier to justify, while off-peak visits are better for a quiet drink or laptop work.
