Friday brunch result!
ONE of Bahrain’s most popular sports bars is launching its first-ever Friday Brunch to add a piece of ‘Wemb-glee’ to the kingdom’s dining out scene.
Wembley Sports Bar is expecting a capacity crowd of food-lovers at the venue, located at the fourth floor of The Premier Hotel, the popular four-star property in the heart of Juffair.
The Wembley team of chefs promise ‘the freshest Friday Brunch ever’ when they kick-off this Friday, from 12.30pm to 4pm.
The venue’s new manager, Steve George, said: “Wembley really is a fantastic venue, with charismatic customers all enjoying the great food and beverages, top live sporting action and also live entertainment throughout the week, alongside very reasonable prices.
“It really is an exciting time as we are expanding our weekly entertainment line-up to include karaoke, a huge Quiz Night on Wednesdays starting soon and much more. Of course, we are all hyped up about our very first Friday Brunch starting this Friday featuring great food, at a great price with great live entertainment.”
Entertainment throughout the day will be provided by one of the most exciting live acts on the island – UK-based trio Old Street Blues, pictured right.
The band, founded at a blues jam at London’s celebrated White Horse in Hoxton, has just arrived in Bahrain, playing fresh arrangements of classic standards, contemporary rhythm & blues and original material.
Old Street Blues is made up of Jacob Brookman, who has played the stages of Kentish Town Forum, Sage Gateshead and Glastonbury Festival, whose debut dancehall album under the moniker Rotty Chimes is available now on iTunes, vocalist Michelle Hanson, who started her music career in an R&B girl band with Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud, and Kaan Hills, a former member of the seven-piece ska outfit, The Costellos.
“Wembley is open daily from noon right through to 2am, so there is no excuse not to pop along with your friends and experience a fresh attitude to food, sport and entertainment,” added Steve.
Friday Brunch is priced at just BD19 net for an unlimited food and selected beverages package. There will be a large range of international cuisine with live cooking stations & carvery, salads, pasta, desserts and more.
