The summer of Love (Island) has almost come to an end, and even if you're not watching British reality TV hit Love Island on a daily basis, it's likely you'll have had a passing conversation about the phenomenon that is Ovie and his stand-out style, heard a friend weigh-in on Amy versus Curtis or perhaps ear-wigged a debate about Anton and his dubious shaving habits.
But, with all good things, Love Island 2019 must come to an end, and that is currently schedulled to happen at 9pm UK time on Monday, July 29 (that's midnight in the UAE).
If you don't have the means to watch the climax of the dating show in a hideaway of your own, two Dubai bars will be showing it live, with food and beverage deals to boot. Now, let's crack on ...
An adults-only screening at Reform Social and Grill
The Lakes bar and restaurant, Reform Social and Grill, has made it very clear that children aren't welcome for its live screening of the Love Island end. The British eatery will be showing the grand finale, and offering unlimited grape and bottled hops when you order two courses. If you ask me, watching Islanders get pied over Reform's signature cottage pie sounds like an ideal evening out.

Dinner and a show at The Hideout
Dubai Marina gastroclub (their word, not mine) The Hideout is screening the finale at midnight on Monday, July 29. The evening will be hosted by Dubai radio personality Aylissa Boyce, and if you dress like you're ready to hit the Love Island villa, you will be treated to free drinks all night. So make like Ovie and reach for a bold and beautiful shirt. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the Dh250 night brunch deal, with three hours of flowing drinks and a three-course meal from 9pm until midnight, when the screening commences.
