Bowling, arcade games, Korean BBQ, sushi, and late-night vibes are all heading to Motor City Clubhouse.
Brass Monkey is officially bringing its next big move to Motor City Dubai, and it could become one of the city’s most talked-about openings this summer.
The entertainment brand behind the popular venues at Bluewaters and City Walk has announced a third Dubai location at Motor City Clubhouse. But this is not simply another Brass Monkey branch. The venue will launch alongside an entirely new restaurant concept called Hey Tiger, creating a two-floor destination built for dining, entertainment, and nightlife.
A Double-Decker Night Out
The new Motor City Dubai venue will feature two completely different experiences under one roof.
The ground floor will be home to Brass Monkey, bringing back everything that made the brand a Dubai favorite. Guests can expect bowling lanes, arcade games, food, drinks, and the social atmosphere that has helped turn Brass Monkey into one of the city’s most recognizable entertainment destinations.
Upstairs is where things get interesting.
Hey Tiger, a brand-new concept from Brass Monkey Hospitality, will take over the upper floor as a modern Asian social house focused on dining, music, and shared experiences. The venue will feature an open kitchen, communal dining, and an outdoor terrace designed for Dubai’s cooler months.
Korean BBQ Is the Star of the Show
Hey Tiger’s menu takes inspiration from across Asia, drawing influences from Japan, Korea, China, and Southeast Asia.
Leading the kitchen is chef Prabin Tamang, whose previous experience includes acclaimed Dubai restaurants Mimi Kakushi and OKKU.
The menu will feature:
• Korean barbecue with tabletop grills
• Sushi and sashimi
• Maki rolls
• Dim sum
• Robata grill dishes
• Asian-inspired cocktails
One of the biggest attractions will be the Korean BBQ experience, where guests can grill premium cuts and marinated meats directly at their tables.
The concept is designed to blur the line between restaurant and nightlife venue, creating the kind of place where dinner naturally turns into a late night.
Why Motor City Makes Sense
For years, many of Dubai’s biggest entertainment venues have focused on areas such as Downtown, DIFC, Bluewaters, and Dubai Marina.
This launch signals growing confidence in Motor City Dubai as a destination in its own right.
The venue’s location inside Motor City Clubhouse adds another layer of appeal. The multi-level property features a swimming pool, cabanas, sunbeds, and views overlooking Dubai Autodrome.
For residents, it means one of Dubai’s best-known entertainment brands is moving much closer to home.
Brass Monkey’s GCC Expansion Is Accelerating
The Motor City opening is only one part of a much larger growth strategy.
Brass Monkey Hospitality has already confirmed future locations at The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain Harbour Financial District, showing the company is rapidly expanding beyond Dubai.
The brand’s footprint continues to grow, and Motor City Dubai is the latest stop on that journey.
