Vision Hospitality is adding a new McGettigan’s venue inside Bla Bla by McGettigan’s at The Beach JBR, with an opening planned for early Q4 2026.
The 6,000 sq. ft. space will span indoor and outdoor areas with views over the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai. Giant LED screens will anchor a live sport offering, with the group positioning the venue for major international tournaments and regular fixtures.
A new food menu is being developed specifically for the location, combining updated pub classics with dishes designed for the beachfront setting.
“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,” Dennis McGettigan, Founder and CEO of Vision Hospitality said in a statement.
The venue is designed to run across the full day, shifting from relaxed dining into a live entertainment setting through the evening. It follows the site’s previous hosting of the Coca-Cola FIFA World Cup Fan Zone, which drew football crowds to a stadium-style setup at the location.
The JBR opening is one piece of a wider expansion for the group. Vision Hospitality is also preparing a multi-concept dining and entertainment destination at Reem Mall in Abu Dhabi, also due later this year.
Further details on menus, programming and opening dates for both sites are expected in the coming weeks.
