ABOUT McGETTIGAN’S:

Steeped in Irish family history, the very first McGettigan’s Pub was opened in Ireland in the

1960s on Queen Street in Dublin by company founder, Jim McGettigan. In late 2010, the

awardwinning bar crossed continents from Dublin to the United Arab Emirates, opening its first

international branch in Dubai at the Bonnington Hotel, JLT before returning back home to

Ireland and subsequently opening bars in New York, Singapore and various locations throughout

Ireland and the UAE.
