Dubai has added another world record to its growing list, with McCafferty’s in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the 'largest Irish bar in the world'.
The recognition follows a major expansion that doubled the venue’s capacity by taking over the entire rooftop of Circle Mall. The venue now covers an impressive size, close to 30,000 square feet, also featuring its newly launched Guinness Garden.
More than just size, the space is designed to capture the warmth and character of an authentic Irish pub, offering Dubai’s Irish community a home away from home.
The unveiling of McCafferty's new expansion was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on 1 September. With its expanded footprint and a Guinness World Record certification, McCafferty’s embodies both the charm of Irish tradition and the city’s flair for creating world-class landmarks.
The revamped venue in JVC also boasts multiple indoor and outdoor stages for live Irish music, a huge outdoor terrace, sports viewing on giant LED screens, and vibrant community spaces. Find more details on the official website of McCafferty’s JVC.
Michael McBrearty, Chief Operating Officer of McCafferty’s, said, "Being recognised as the world’s largest Irish bar is more than just a record, it’s a milestone of the vision we had for McCafferty’s in Dubai”.
