New social and dining destination, Bla Bla is all set to officially open in Jumeirah Beach Residences, Dubai in two phases this year.
Comprising 20 bars, three restaurants and a beach club, the 100,000 sqft venue will stretch from The Walk in JBR onto The Beach Mall by MERAAS and will be the first independent property in the area licensed for alcohol, shisha, music and dancing.
The first part of the two-phased opening will welcome the Bla Bla Beach Club. Located directly opposite Bluewaters Island with uninterrupted views of the sea and the Dubai Eye, the Beach Club will have its own bar and feature live entertainment.
A casual, Instagram friendly, Bali-themed beach bar will occupy the remainder of the ground floor while the first floor will house eight concepts – three on the terrace and five indoors including a nostalgic Irish bar, a Hollywood inspired venue and a vinyl-clad Record Room bar.
Bla Bla’s three licensed restaurants will also open in phase one. Occupying the large central courtyard next to the pool, will be traditional Italian and Japanese concepts as well as a Texas style BBQ Smokehouse serving classics including Smoked Brisket, Honey Glazed Barbecue Chicken and Angus BBQ Ribs.
The remaining bars will open in phase two before the end of the year. They will be housed in a colossal 22,000 sqft complex with double height ceilings and a total of nine bars all with different themes and styles.
