Dubai is no stranger to the Emerald Isle’s charm, but there’s a new Irish hot spot in town McGettigan’s, the beloved Irish pub chain, is adding a new location nestled in Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Science Park, in the heart of Al Barsha South opening on 15 June 2023. While there are already several McGettigan’s across the UAE, this one is poised to be a game-changer. From traditional Irish cuisine, mixology, live sport shows, lively entertainment and exclusive offerings to its unique and contemporary interiors, McGettigan’s Dubai Science Park promises to be the ultimate destination for a craic-filled night out and epic weekend parties.

Culinary Delights
As Senior Sous Chef for McGettigan’s Dubai Science Park, Wayne Cameron is the culinary artist to take the lead for its mouthwatering menu that guests will be treated to. With over two decades of experience and a globe-trotting career that has taken him from South Africa to the United States and beyond, Wayne is a true culinary artist with a passion for creating dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
McGettigan’s Dubai Science Park menu boasts an array of signature dish options from the famous Pork Belly Popcorn, BBS Pork & Apple Burger, Sticky Pork BBQ Ribs to the newest Wagyu Beef Chilli Nachos and the McGettigans Chicken Wings and Irish Spice Bag, that are sure to impress. And for the sweet tooth, McGettigan’s homemade chocolate brownie with salted caramel sauce is a sinfully delightful treat. And let’s not forget their signature shot, “The Flaming Blarney,” a fiery cinnamon-based shot that will ignite your taste buds in the most delicious way.
The restaurant and bar will have an extensive beverage list from hops, cocktails, grapes and bubbly that you’re sure to enjoy, but if you’re looking for a drink that packs a punch, look no further than McGettigan’s “Spice Bag Cocktail.” This drink is a fiery concoction of Town Branch Rye, homemade passion fruit and mango puree, peach liqueur, lime juice, and a hint of chilli.
