  • What Makes McGettigan’s Bla Bla a New Hotspot for Dining, Live Music and Sport in Dubai?

Vision Hospitality, the group behind McGettigan’s, has officially opened McGettigan’s Bla Bla, bringing the brand’s signature Irish hospitality, live entertainment, sport and all-day dining to one of Dubai’s most popular beachfront destinations.

Spanning 6,000 sq. ft., McGettigan’s Bla Bla offers expansive indoor and outdoor spaces overlooking the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai, creating a destination that moves seamlessly from breakfast and daytime dining through to late-night drinks, live music and entertainment.

The new venue serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and late bites, with live music seven nights a week and live sport shown across huge HD TVs and a giant LED screen. The venue builds on Bla Bla’s successful track record as a destination for live sport, following the Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Fan Zone, which brought football fans together for the tournament in a high-energy, stadium-style atmosphere.

The food offering combines McGettigan’s classic pub favourites with contemporary dishes and new additions created for the beachfront setting. Breakfast highlights include the signature McGettigan’s Irish Breakfast, alongside Avocado Toast, Benedict Royale, Steak & Eggs and Buttermilk Pancakes.

Throughout the day, guests can choose from favourites including Wagyu Beef Chilli Nachos, McGettigan’s Chicken Wings, Truffle Agnolotti, Seafood Risotto, Cod & Chips alongside burgers, pizzas, sandwiches and sharing dishes. For later in the evening, late-night bites include the Irish Spice Bag, Spicy Chicken Tenders, Chicken Gyoza and McGettigan’s Signature Burger.

Dennis McGettigan, Founder and CEO of Vision Hospitality, said: “Opening McGettigan’s Bla Bla is a big next step for us and for JBR as a destination. We wanted to create a venue that works throughout the day, from breakfast and lunch with friends or business partners, to watching the big game or staying on into the evening for live music and drinks. The venue brings together the things people know and love about McGettigan’s with the energy and setting of Bla Bla and JBR. We’re looking forward to welcoming people through the doors and making this another place where people come together, spend time and enjoy themselves.”

Designed as a destination from morning through to late night, McGettigan’s Bla Bla will also offer a regular programme of experiences and promotions, including Happy Hour from Sunday to Friday until 8pm, McGettigan’s famous Sunday Roast, Saturday brunch, live music seven nights a week and live sport throughout the week.

The venue is open Sunday to Thursday from 9am to 2am, and Friday to Saturday from 9am to 3am, giving guests a new beachfront destination for everything from morning coffee and breakfast through to late-night drinks and entertainment.

This opening follows Vision Hospitality’s acquisition of Bla Bla Dubai in March 2026 and forms part of the group’s wider strategy to expand its portfolio of distinctive hospitality destinations across the UAE.
