This Southern-style Saturday brunch in Abu Dhabi serves drinks brewed on-site
If you're craving something with a little more bite, a little more character and a selection of hops, this is the brunch that'll blow your basic brunch out of the water.
There are brunches – and then there's brunch at CRAFT by Side Hustle.
Every Saturday from noon to 4pm, CRAFT throws down a bold feast. It's Southern US-style comfort food done right – smoky, sticky, spicy and slow-cooked perfection. If you're wondering what to get, start with the loaded brisket nachos and warm, house-baked pretzels before diving into the signature smokehouse spread: juicy beef brisket, bourbon garlic burnt ends, jumbo wings and spicy homemade chorizo (okay, we're officially hungry).
Add sides like creamy mac 'n' cheese, crunchy slaw, seasoned skinny fries and slices of sourdough pizza and you've got a menu that's made for serious foodies.
Dessert brings more American classics – think buttermilk pie and fresh, sugar-dusted beignets.
Setting the vibe while you're chowing down on delicious food? The resident DJ who will be spinning the deck from 1-5pm.
CRAFT is the UAE's first and only microbrewery restaurant where everything is brewed just metres from your table – and yes, the brunch serves pints.
The drinks list doesn't stop at hops though. The premium package comes with a large selection of mixed drinks and spirits, including flavours like popcorn, espresso and many others. Prefer the classics? The house package includes two draft hops, grape and other refreshing mixed drinks. And if you want to continue the party, happy hour starts at 4pm.
CRAFT by Side Hustle isn't trying to fit into the usual brunch mould – and that's exactly why it works. It's bold, independent, flavour-first and full of personality.
