Brass Monkey Opens In Motor City, Bringing Dining, Games And Late-Night Entertainment To The Community

Brass Monkey Hospitality officially opens the doors to its new Brass Monkey venue at Motor City Clubhouse today, bringing the homegrown brand’s blend of dining, drinks, social gaming and entertainment to one of Dubai’s fastest-growing residential communities.

Open to the public at 4pm Monday September 7, the new venue brings the familiar Brass Monkey experience to Motor City, with the programming fans have come to expect from the brand – from premium comfort food and signature cocktails to bowling, arcade games, music and entertainment.

The opening marks the next evolution of a homegrown hospitality brand that has built a loyal following at Bluewaters and City Walk by creating destinations where great food, social gaming and lively nightlife come together under one roof.

Motor City represents a conscious move into the heart of an established residential community, creating a venue designed for everything from after-work drinks and casual dinners to weekend get-togethers, celebrations and corporate events.

“We’ve always said Brass Monkey is about bringing people together, and Motor City gives us the opportunity to do that within a thriving community,” said Simon Robinson, Director of Operations and Franchise at Brass Monkey Hospitality.

“This isn’t just another venue. It’s a place we hope becomes part of people’s weekly routines: somewhere to unwind, play games, celebrate birthdays, catch up over dinner or simply spend an evening with friends. That’s what attracted us to Motor City.”

Brass Monkey Motor City is open Monday to Friday from 4pm to 1am, and Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 1am.

Since opening its flagship venue at Bluewaters in 2020, Brass Monkey has become one of the UAE’s most recognisable homegrown hospitality brands, later expanding to City Walk and building a reputation for creating experience-led destinations that combine dining and entertainment in equal measure.

“Motor City felt like the right next step because of the community that’s already here,” Robinson continued. “There are thousands of people living in the area who want great places close to home. We believe Brass Monkey offers something genuinely different, somewhere you can come for dinner and end up staying for the entire evening. That’s always been part of the brand’s DNA.”

The Motor City opening forms part of Brass Monkey Hospitality’s biggest expansion to date. Alongside the new Dubai venue, the company will launch its first Abu Dhabi location at The Galleria Mall, Al Maryah Island later this month, as well as Brass Monkey at Bahrain Harbour scheduled to open soon after. The Group’s newest concept, Hey, Tiger is also due to open soon at Motor City Clubhouse.

Brass Monkey Motor City is now open.
