BrewDog Taps Into Dubai With First Mid East Bar on Bluewaters Island
The Scottish craft beer brand launches its first Dubai bar on May 23rd, with plans to open eight locations in the city.

Scottish craft beer brand BrewDog is making its Middle East debut with the opening of its first bar in Dubai on Friday, May 23rd. Set on Bluewaters Island, the new venue brings the brand’s signature blend of bold brews and laid-back dining to one of the city’s fastest-growing lifestyle destinations.
The bar features 22 taps pouring BrewDog’s most popular beers, including Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Elvis Juice, and Wingman. It will also serve a full food menu, staying true to the brand’s global format of pairing craft beer with comfort food in an industrial-chic setting.
This launch kicks off BrewDog’s broader UAE ambitions. The brand has partnered with Dubai-based Rise Hospitality and plans to open eight locations across the emirate within five years.
Located steps away from Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel, Bluewaters Island has become a magnet for international food and beverage concepts. BrewDog’s arrival adds to the area’s evolving identity as a nightlife and hospitality hub.
Founded in 2007 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, BrewDog has built a global following with locations in cities like London, Berlin, Tokyo, and Las Vegas—with Dubai now joining the list.
