New Year’s Eve at McGettigan’s Souk Madinat

About New Year’s Eve at McGettigan’s Souk Madinat

McGettigan’s Souk Madinat Jumeirah is one of the most atmospheric pubs in Dubai, and on Thursday 31 December 2026 it is hosting an all inclusive New Year’s Eve party with the Burj Al Arab and the Madinat waterways as its backdrop. The package runs from 8pm until midnight, with dinner, free-flowing drinks and live entertainment building up to the countdown, and McGettigan’s says the celebrations can continue into the early hours after midnight.

The event is listed on McGettigan’s own webshop, which invites guests to choose between indoor and terrace seating depending on their package. It is a strictly adults only affair, open to over 21s only.

What to expect

Here is what McGettigan’s has published about the night:

• An all inclusive evening with dinner and free-flowing drinks
• Live entertainment leading up to midnight
• A choice of indoor or terrace seating, depending on your package
• A setting against the Burj Al Arab and the waterways of Madinat Jumeirah
• Timings of 8pm to midnight, with the party able to continue after the countdown

The pub has not yet named its performers or published a menu, so check with the team if you have dietary requirements.

Prices

There are three packages. The Premium Terrace package costs AED 899 per person, the Premium Indoor package costs AED 649 per person, and the Soft Package costs AED 449 per person. McGettigan’s has not specified exactly which drinks are included with the Soft Package, so ask if you need clarification.

Who it is for

This is ideal for groups of friends who want a big, friendly pub party with a spectacular setting, and for couples who like the idea of seeing in 2027 with a view of one of Dubai’s most famous landmarks. The terrace package is the one to choose if you want to be outside by the water, while the indoor package offers better value for those who mainly want to be in the thick of the music. As the event is for over 21s only, it is not suitable for families with children or teenagers.

How to book

Packages are sold directly through the McGettigan’s webshop, which links to a booking form for the Souk Madinat New Year’s Eve party. According to the listing, the offer is available until 30 December 2026, though popular areas such as the terrace may sell out well before then.
