The Irish Village

Garhoud · 31A St - Al Garhoud - Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Website

Traditional Irish bar serving up cocktails & live entertainment in an indoor & outdoor setting.

The Irish Village in Garhoud has been an unshakeable institution in Dubai since 1996 - a sprawling outdoor Irish pub with authentic Guinness on draught, live music almost nightly, a proper pub menu and a faithful community of regulars that spans every nationality and walk of life. The garden setting with its wooden benches and fairy lights is genuinely pleasant. Three decades in, it remains one of the most dependable evenings in Dubai.

Frequently Asked Questions

01Does The Irish Village have live music?
Yes — The Irish Village is one of Dubai's best live music venues, hosting acts almost nightly. The mix of local bands, visiting Irish musicians and international acts makes for a genuinely entertaining musical atmosphere.
02Is The Irish Village touristy or genuine?
Genuinely both — it attracts visitors precisely because it feels authentic. The crowd is a real mix of long-term Dubai residents, expat workers and tourists, and the pub culture is sincere rather than theme-park. The Guinness is the real article.
