The Rose & Crown was originally designed to replace the good old Du-bai staple The Red Lion, but as the design evolved and the site spanned over 2 floors, the concept changed. Victorian tiles work their way from the entrance to around the bar and are surrounded by chevron hard-

wood floor bringing in some pattern and colour to the warm wood tones.
