We study the hydrodynamic transport in an interacting electronic system with an anisotropic dispersion, which is Dirac-like along one crystallographic direction and Newtonian-like along the other. Such a dispersion is realized in systems with merging Dirac points at charge neutrality and leads to highly anisotropic transport coefficients. The shear viscosity is a fourth-rank tensor whose distinct elements characterize the momentum flow in different directions and exhibit fundamentally different scalings with temperature. One of the viscosity coefficients violates the lower bound for the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio stemming from the AdS/CFT duality.
