Issimo Bar & Lounge

Business-like bar food in the Hilton Dubai Creek Discuss this article

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

Step inside Issimo and it’s like being transported back to the ’80s. There are no shoulder-padded yuppies carrying brick-sized mobile phones, but the chrome and leather decor is enough to invoke Back To The Future nostalgia. Besides this time-travel trip, there’s not much else notable about the place.

There’s nothing particularly wrong with it – certainly you shouldn’t have to wait long for service or food, and what food you get (it’s all standard stuff, but what else would you expect from a sports bar?) is very enjoyable. But there’s nothing here that’s particularly thrilling or spectacular, and nothing to pull you massively out of your way.
