The French-inspired lifestyle destination will take over Iris’ iconic waterfront space as brand expands its international footprint.
Bar du Port is set to open its sixth location at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi later this year, marking a new chapter for the French-style bar and restaurant brand.
Known for its playful mix of dining, nightlife and cosmopolitan energy, Bar du Port has built a reputation since its 2016 launch in Beirut as a go-to destination for “a little luxury, a lot of fun”.
The Abu Dhabi outpost will be housed in the space formerly occupied by Iris, a long-standing anchor at Yas Marina under the AlphaMind portfolio.
For over a decade, Iris helped define the marina’s dining and nightlife scene. As Iris prepares for its next chapter, Bar du Port will step in to carry forward the legacy of an international waterfront lifestyle hub, says the F&B group.
“This is a very exciting new chapter for us,” said Jacque Kassab, General Manager of Bar du Port. “Bar du Port’s expansion into Abu Dhabi speaks to the strength of the brand and the distinctive experiences we are proud to offer. We are thrilled to bring our signature French flair and fun to Yas Marina and look forward to welcoming guests from across the world.”
