With doors set to open in September 2026

One of Dubai’s favourite entertainment venues is expanding again, and this time it’s heading to Motor City.

If you’ve been looking for a new go-to spot for dinner, drinks and a little friendly competition, you’re in luck.

Brass Monkey Hospitality has confirmed it’s opening a brand-new venue at Motor City Clubhouse in September 2026, bringing its winning mix of food, signature drinks, bowling, arcade games and live music to one of Dubai’s fastest-growing communities.

Unlike its bustling locations at Bluewaters and City Walk, the new venue has been designed with the neighbourhood in mind.

Whether it’s a midweek dinner, after-work drinks, a birthday celebration or a spontaneous night out with friends, Brass Monkey is aiming to become the kind of place locals keep coming back to.

You can expect all the ingredients that have made the homegrown brand such a hit over the past six years.

There’ll be premium comfort food, signature drinks, bowling lanes, arcade games and a resident DJ creating the lively atmosphere that keeps guests hanging around long after the plates have been cleared.

Since opening its flagship venue at Bluewaters in 2020, Brass Monkey has become one of Dubai’s standout entertainment concepts by blending dining, games and nightlife into one experience.

Rather than simply opening another restaurant or bar, the brand has built its reputation on creating social spaces where an evening can easily stretch into the night.

The Motor City opening forms part of the company’s biggest expansion to date. Alongside the new Dubai venue, Brass Monkey is also preparing to open its first Abu Dhabi location at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, while making its international debut with a new venue at Bahrain Harbour.

With three new openings on the horizon, it’s clear Brass Monkey isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

More details on reservations, opening celebrations and exactly what guests can expect inside the new venue will be announced closer to September.

Until then, Motor City residents can start getting excited, one of Dubai’s favourite nights out is about to move into the neighbourhood.
