Updated 10 October 2026
Friday daytime brunch has become a smaller and more varied category than the city’s night-brunch listings suggest. This shortlist stops at 7pm and compares offers whose operators publish a current daytime Friday sitting: a late-afternoon sports-bar brunch, a poolside pub meal, a live-music pub session and a beach-club day party. These prices buy different things, so compare the menu and package—not just the ‘from’ rate. We leave Friday-night sittings out.
At a glance
| Venue | Friday sitting | What the published price buys |
|---|---|---|
| Funny Cat Sports Bar — Friday Brunch O’Clock | Every Friday, 3–7pm, according to the live SevenRooms experience card. | AED109 Food, AED199 House or AED249 Premium. The booking card does not state whether the charge is per person. |
| McCafferty’s Wafi — Friday Favourites Brunch | Friday, 2–6pm | AED199. The operator does not state on the page whether this is per person or another charging basis. |
| McCafferty’s JVC — Friday Favourites Brunch | Every Friday, 3–6pm. | AED299; the operator’s event page does not label the charge unit. |
| Bla Bla Beach Club — Duckin’ Fridays | Brunch, 1–5pm on Fridays; the calendar lists 16 October 2026 and says it runs every Friday. The event promo says 10am–late overall, while the Beach Club component lists 10am–sunset. | From AED299, including unlimited selected beverages. The booking summary does not specify whether the price is per person. |
The daytime Friday shortlist
Funny Cat Sports Bar — Friday Brunch O’Clock
Ramee Dream Hotel, Dubai · Every Friday, 3–7pm, according to the live SevenRooms experience card.
This is the latest sitting in the shortlist and the cheapest listed food-only tier. The booking card does not describe the brunch menu, drink list, age policy, fee basis or cancellation terms; the tier labels alone do not explain what each package buys.
A late-afternoon option if you want to keep the spend lower, but confirm the food and drink inclusions, price unit and checkout total with the operator before booking. The missing menu detail makes it harder to compare than the other entries.
McCafferty’s Wafi — Friday Favourites Brunch
Pyramids, Wafi City · Friday, 2–6pm
Four hours of unlimited drinks with sharing starters (chicken wings, Angus beef sliders and vol-au-vents), a choice of roast with trimmings or listed pub mains, sharing desserts, live music and pool access. The offer does not promise a reserved pool lounger; ask separately if a guaranteed seat by the water matters.
The one here that pairs a full pub-style meal with pool access. Its four-hour window starts earlier than the JVC branch’s and the operator lists the food sequence, but leaves the price unit and drink list unstated.
McCafferty’s JVC — Friday Favourites Brunch
Circle Mall rooftop, Jumeirah Village Circle · Every Friday, 3–6pm.
Three hours of unlimited drinks, sharing starters including wings, Angus beef sliders and vol-au-vents, a choice of roast or pub main, sharing desserts and live music. The house menu spans familiar pub plates such as fish and chips, seared salmon and the chicken fillet roll. Happy hour follows until 8pm, but that is a separate offer.
A later afternoon pub table with live music, rather than a pool day. The same brand’s Wafi brunch starts an hour earlier, lasts an extra hour and includes pool access; the food-and-drink package and charging terms should not be assumed to match.
Bla Bla Beach Club — Duckin’ Fridays
The Beach, JBR · Brunch, 1–5pm on Fridays; the calendar lists 16 October 2026 and says it runs every Friday. The event promo says 10am–late overall, while the Beach Club component lists 10am–sunset.
This is the day-party option: the operator promises selected free-flow drinks and a poolside setting, but does not publish the food menu or beverage list on the accessible event page. It is strictly 21+. The brunch booking does not promise a lounger or reserved zone, and the summary does not say whether pool access is included. These separately priced beds are fully redeemable on food and drinks and include VAT, service and municipality fees; unused credit is not refunded. The map also lists an eight-seat sofa area at AED2,000/3,000 per person without clarifying whether all eight must be booked, and publishes no cabana price. Confirm access and reserved seating with the operator.
Choose it for a poolside, music-led Friday rather than a meal whose courses are published in advance. Confirm the exact brunch total and separately reserve any pool seat or cabana you need.
Which one fits your Friday?
- For brunch plus a swim, McCafferty’s Wafi includes pool access in its AED199 offer; it does not promise a reserved lounger.
- For a later start with live music and no pool add-on, McCafferty’s JVC runs 3–6pm. Its published AED299 charge unit is not stated.
- For a beach-club day party, Bla Bla’s 1–5pm Duckin’ Fridays includes selected drinks, but its food menu, price unit and seat reservation are not published in the accessible event summary.
- For the latest and lowest entry price, Funny Cat lists AED109 for its Food tier from 3pm; confirm what the package includes and whether the charge is per person.
Why these offers are separate
We included only offers that a hotel, operator or live event page still lists for Friday daytime as of 10 October 2026. Friday-night brunches, generic Friday lunches and pool passes without a brunch meal are outside this shortlist. An individual offer can still leave a useful booking question open; we state that gap next to the price instead of treating different packages as interchangeable. This is an editorial shortlist, not a score-based ranking.
This daytime selection is distinct from the project’s general brunch and Friday-night brunch topics; it does not repeat a Friday-night sitting.
Prices and terms were checked 10 October 2026. Reconfirm the selected date, package, charging basis and availability with the operator before paying.
