Vision Hospitality will open a new McGettigan’s venue at Bla Bla by McGettigan’s at The Beach, JBR, in early Q4 2026.
The 6,000sq ft venue will be the latest addition to Bla Bla following Vision Hospitality’s acquisition of the Dubai beachfront destination in March 2026. Featuring indoor and outdoor areas overlooking the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai, the new McGettigan’s will operate as an all-day dining and entertainment venue, with a particular focus on live music and sport.
Dennis McGettigan, Founder and CEO of Vision Hospitality, said: “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.”
Large screens will show major sporting fixtures and international tournaments, while the food menu will feature a new selection developed specifically for the JBR location. The group said guests can expect contemporary versions of traditional pub dishes alongside new items designed with the beachfront setting in mind.
During the day, the venue will focus on relaxed dining before moving towards a more energetic atmosphere in the evenings, with live entertainment forming a major part of the offering.
The opening will further integrate the McGettigan’s brand into Bla Bla, which was acquired by Vision Hospitality earlier this year as part of the group’s wider expansion strategy.
