Dubai - McGettigan's - The Modern Irish Experience

McGettigan’s Pub was first opened in Ireland in the 1960′s on Queen Street in Dublin by Jim McGettigan. Since that day, the business has grown from Dublin, moved to Dubai and come back home to Donegal. 2010 saw the very first McGettigan’s Irish Pub open its doors in Dubai at Jumeirah Lakes Towers. Eighteen short months later, the McGettigan’s story in Dubai expanded with the opening of both McGettigan’s Irish Pubs at Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai International Airport. Unique decor, delicious Irish food & drink, the best Irish and international entertainment and sporting events are the ingredients that have made McGettigan’s Irish Pubs such a success in the United Arab Emirates. CEO of the Bonnington and McGettigan group, Dennis McGettigan, said “Its all about excellent food, beverages, service, entertainment and sport, mixed in with interactive feedback with our customers through social media”. McGettigan’s proudly wears the tagline “The Modern Irish Experience”, as it reflects modern Irish food, culture, sports and music. The brand is steeped in Irish family history and is using this history and experience to bring a real flavour of Ireland to a global market. In November 2013, McGettigan’s moved back home to the place where it all started for founder of the business, Jim McGettigan, when the award winning pub opened in Letterkenny, County Donegal at The Clanree Hotel. McGettigan’s is expanding globally now as a brand and by the end of 2015 the vision is to have 10 outlets open.
