The Dubai expansion includes eight bars in five years.
BrewDog is making its way from the UAE to the UK. Over the next five years, the brand will be opening eight bars in Dubai. The legendary Scottish craft beer brand is making its Middle East debut at Bluewaters Dubai and will open on Friday, 23 May 2025.
BrewDog’s first Dubai opening will be located in what was previously The London Project. The waterfront venue is a two-storey playground for craft beer fans and partygoers, complete with sprawling terraces and sweeping views of Ain Dubai. Inspired by BrewDog’s London Waterloo location in the United Kingdom, the Dubai outpost ups the ante with cyber darts, duckpin bowling and dedicated zones for dining and remote working.
With 22 taps serving up BrewDog signatures like Elvis Juice, Hazy Jane and Punk IPA, the bar also showcases BrewDog Distilling Co. spirits, Wonderland cocktails, wines, and zero-alcohol options for the sober curious.
From the kitchen, expect all the favourites, including stacked burgers, loaded fries, and wings, alongside a selection of Dubai-exclusive dishes.
BrewDog is an independent craft brewer, and it will be partnering with local operator Rise Hospitality. The openings in Dubai will range from large-format sites to experimental sites across the city.
N. Daud, CEO of Rise Hospitality, explained: “We’re so excited to bring to Dubai everything the world loves about BrewDog – from its pioneering beers and legendary food to immersive gaming and live music, all under one roof. This is a bar that sets a new benchmark for the city and delivers something fresh every day of the week.”
BrewDog currently operates over 100 bars and hotels across the world. BrewDog continues to expand in travel hubs: a new BrewDog bar opened at Edinburgh Waverley station, and a new BrewDog pub opened at London Waterloo station. The brand recently opened a new bar in Denver, which marked its first franchised location in the United States. Plus, it aims to open 200 venues in markets over the next seven years.
The official opening date for BrewDog in Dubai has been confirmed for Friday, 23 May 2025. The first 200 guests through the doors will be entered into a prize draw to win ‘free BrewDog beer for a year.’
