The nightlife and sports of Abu Dhabi are soon going to be given a serious boost. A huge new restaurant and entertainment venue is coming to Reem Mall, and it will feature live sports viewing, nightclubs, and more, all under the same roof. Vision Hospitality has revealed that it has decided to build a massive 45,000-square-foot social and entertainment space on Al Reem Island. McGettigan will be at the head of the project and will develop the first-ever Fan Zone in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi To Receive The First Mcgettigan Fan Zone At Reem Island
The project will incorporate restaurants, live entertainment areas and fan-based experiences that will be geared towards individuals who desire more than a simple meal out.
The place will replicate the electric ambience that the regulars are already familiar with in McGettigan locations around Dubai. Imagine massive TVs, loud parties, crowded seats and fans cheering each final goal or referee decision.
Brings Match-Day Energy To Abu Dhabi By McGettigan
Big matches will be streamed live to football fans, as well as rugby games and other major sporting events, all year round.
It will be the initial stage of the bigger entertainment project, and additional ideas will be announced in the future.
More Than Just A Sport Bar
The outstanding aspect of this project is its size. It is not a mere opening of another restaurant within a shopping centre.
The new place will be an integrated combination of food, music, sports and social experiences. Shoppers visiting Reem Mall might find themselves staying to have dinner, watch a live game and have a night out with friends.
The entertainment industry in Abu Dhabi has been gradually increasing over the last few years, with the rise of more entertainment venues, but this time around, they are based on the experience instead of traditional eating out.
