Dubai<\/a> has once again made its mark in the history books, with Guinness World Records\u2122 officially recognising McCafferty\u2019s in Jumeirah Village Circle as the Largest Irish bar in the world, featuring its brand new Guinness Garden. In partnership with Guinness and African + Eastern, this is a milestone that blends Irish culture with Dubai\u2019s unstoppable appetite for doing things bigger, bolder, and better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCafferty\u2019s new extension brings one of Dubai\u2019s most beloved pubs up to a whopping 29,831 ft and 92 inches, now complete with an impressive 148 taps. At this staggering scale, McCafferty\u2019s stands as a home for thousands of Irish expats, a living expression of culture and community abroad. Designed to capture the warmth, charm, and unmistakable character of an Irish bar, it brings the\u00a0craic of the Isle<\/em>\u00a0into the heart of Dubai while setting a new benchmark for nightlife and hospitality in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official unveiling celebration took place on Monday, 1st September, celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Diageo\u2019s\u00a0Chairman of the Board<\/em>, Sir John Manzoni, Dayalan Nayager,\u00a0President Europe, Middle East & Global Chief Commercial Officer<\/em>\u00a0and Antoinette Drumm,\u00a0Managing Director MENA<\/em>, together with Michael McBrearty, the\u00a0Chief Operating Officer<\/em>\u00a0of McCafferty\u2019s, and Jason Dixon,\u00a0Chief Executive Officer of African + Eastern<\/em>. This is a symbolic moment that underscores not just the scale of the project but the shared ambition behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the milestone, McCafferty\u2019s also unveils its latest expansion. Following a major transformation, the JVC outpost has taken over the entire rooftop level of Circle Mall, a development by Dubai Holdings, doubling its footprint to 29,831 ft and 92 inches, cementing its status as the largest Irish bar worldwide. The expansion reinforces the brand\u2019s commitment to growing its footprint in Dubai while giving the city\u2019s Irish community and Guinness lovers even more reasons to gather together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For McCafferty\u2019s, this recognition is legendary;\u00a0\u201cBeing recognised as the world\u2019s largest Irish bar is more than just a record, it\u2019s a milestone of the vision we had for McCafferty\u2019s in Dubai,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said Michael McBrearty, Chief Operating Officer of McCafferty\u2019s.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve built a space with Dubai Holdings that honours tradition, welcomes community, and sparks even more curiosity for tourism in Dubai.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnerships like this are at the heart of what we do at African + Eastern,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said David Beattie, General Manager Sales \u2013 UAE<\/a> On Trade.\u00a0\u201cPartnering with DIAGEO and McCafferty\u2019s to bring the world\u2019s largest Irish bar to life is about more than just records; it\u2019s about helping to create spaces where people come together, friendships are made, and moments are shared over a pint of Guinness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new venue now boasts multiple indoor and outdoor stages for traditional Irish music and live entertainment, a massive outdoor terrace for gatherings and events, state-of-the-art LED screens for an unrivalled sports viewing experience, along with pool tables and vibrant community spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuinness has always been about bringing people together, and there\u2019s something truly magical about seeing that spirit celebrated on such a big scale,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0added Antoinette Drumm, Diageo MENA Managing Director.\u00a0\u201cMcCafferty\u2019s in Dubai doesn\u2019t just raise the bar, it once again reflects the city\u2019s unstoppable spirit, a place that never stops reaching new heights and setting new records.
