Vision Hospitality has revealed plans to open a new McGettigan's venue at Bla Bla by McGettigan's at The Beach JBR, enhancing its presence in Dubai's renowned beachfront area. Scheduled to open in early Q4 2026, this 6,000 sq. ft. venue will offer striking indoor and outdoor spaces with views of the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai, providing an ideal setting for dining, live entertainment, and social gatherings.
The venture marks a significant milestone after Vision Hospitality's acquisition of the destination in March 2026. McGettigan's has built a reputation over the last 15 years for delivering great drinks, live music, and genuine Irish hospitality. The new venue will feature giant LED screens, making it a hub for sports enthusiasts to enjoy live tournaments and events. Guests can also look forward to an exclusive food menu with modern interpretations of classic pub dishes, designed to suit the beachfront vibe.
“Opening a new McGettigan's within Bla Bla by McGettigan's at The Beach JBR is a remarkable achievement for us. Since consolidating the Vision Hospitality portfolio earlier this year, we've been focused on building on everything people already love about the destination while introducing new experiences that reflect the McGettigan's brand. This new venue brings together our passion for live entertainment, quality hospitality and creating places where people genuinely want to spend time,” said Dennis McGettigan, Founder and CEO of Vision Hospitality.
The venue aims to provide a relaxed dining atmosphere during the day, transforming into a lively spot for evening entertainment with live music and key sporting events. This new opening continues the successful legacy of Bla Bla by McGettigan's, which previously hosted the Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Fan Zone, showcasing its capability to deliver high-energy experiences for sporting events.
In addition to this new venture, Vision Hospitality has expansion plans that include the launch of a multi-concept dining and entertainment destination at Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi later this year. More information about opening dates, menus, and entertainment programming for both venues will be announced in the near future.
