Lilly’s Social House, a New Orleans Style Bar, Opens at Canal Central Hotel Business Bay

Dubai has a buzzing new spot – Lilly’s Social House at Canal Central Hotel Business Bay – that officially opened its doors last evening with a grand party. Developed by Dynamic Operator, Lilly’s Social House, is an ode to the rich culture and vibrancy of New Orleans.

Zaid Al Hachem, Group Director, Dynamic Operator, said, “Lilly’s Social House is an urban historic New Orleans style community bar where guests can enjoy their meals and drinks while listening to classic soul blues and jazz tunes. It is the perfect place for casual lunches with friends, relaxing dinners, after work hang-outs, ladies’ nights, and of course the ‘take me back to New Orleans’ Friday brunch.”

Lilly’s Social House boasts both indoor and outdoor spaces including the beautiful Lilly’s Backyard that offers sweeping views of the Dubai Canal and Burj Khalifa. The cool and funky atmosphere, wide selection of cocktails and solid pub fare makes Lilly’s the perfect place to just walk in and hang out anytime of the week. Fabulous food accompanies a great line-up of local artists. The music on offer is an exciting mix of live jazz and blues acts.

Canal Central Hotel Business Bay is located only a few minutes away from The Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountains, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Dubai Design District and Dubai International Convention Centre and Exhibition Halls. Equipped with the finest amenities, each of Canal Central’s 280 spacious rooms and suites offer spectacular Canal or Burj Khalifa views. Completing the experience are a hand-picked selection of dining outlets including La Cruise and Lilly’s Social House, flexible meeting spaces, state-of-the-art gymnasium and spa, a stunning infinity swimming pool and male and female salon.
