The
authentic Boston sports-themed restaurant, O’Learys, founded by Swedish
restauranteur Jonas Reinholdsson, has officially opened for business in Dubai.
Saeed Obaid Al Teneiji,
Vice President
– UAE Football Association and Anette Nilsson Exner,
Deputy Head of Mission for the Swedish
Embassy were among some of the first guests to enjoy
the casual dining experience, which includes a games arcade, a dedicated shisha
area, a bar and of course the ubiquitous big screen TVs.
Speaking at the launch on Tuesday 20th September,
Ms. Exner,
said:
“O’Learys has
for years entertained sports fans in Sweden and now residents of Dubai will have
the opportunity to enjoy this iconic brand. We’re fully supporting this latest
opening, which I’m sure will be a resounding success with its great food,
fantastic atmosphere and of course the thrill and excitement of the ‘big match’.”
Occupying a prime location on Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite
Noor Bank metro station, the move marks TIME’s first O’Learys franchise in
Dubai, following the launch of its debut outlet at Fujairah Mall in January
2016 – the company’s first ever non-hotel product.
