August’s about to get rowdy. Rodeo Drive, Dubai’s favorite all-American bar, is rolling into Oaks Hotel at Ibn Battuta Gate, 14,000 square feet of smoked meats, arcade madness, bull rides, and high-voltage entertainment. From Texas heat on a grill pit to velvet-backed speakeasy corners, this isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a wild ride served medium-rare and garnished with neon.
Rodeo Drive isn’t new to the scene, it’s been holding court on Sheikh Zayed for over a decade. But the Ibn Battuta outpost flips the volume way up. This is no one-size-fits-all bar. It’s a destination. One that fuses Southern spice with East Coast attitude, soaked in music, meat, and unmistakable swagger.
What’s on the Menu (and Beyond):
- Tex-Mex meets firepit: Think brisket, flame-grilled steaks, and smoky classics crafted by Head Chef Walter Melo.
- Arcade chaos: Interactive darts, retro games, beer pong, and that mechanical bull your friends will dare you to ride.
- Showtime energy: Live bands, DJs, and themed nights take center stage on the Broadway-style platform.
- Family-first zones: A kids’ play area with crafts, games, and even bespoke Rodeo Drive books, all watched over by an on-site nanny.
Each of the six themed zones is built for a different kind of thrill. There’s Wild West grit with smoked timber and leather. There’s NYC-style bar gloss. A bull-riding arena that’s part fight club, part carnival. And tucked behind a bookshelf, a velvet-draped Mancave built for secret rendezvous and late-night plotting. This isn’t copy-paste Americana. It’s a remix. Bold, brash, and built for Dubai.
As Dubai’s growth shifts west, venues are following the crowd, and Rodeo Drive is smartly staking its claim in Ibn Battuta Gate, positioned near hotspots like Palm Jebel Ali and Al Furjan. With space for 600 guests and a vibe that moves from day-to-night seamlessly, it’s not just another spot for dinner or drinks. It’s a new social anchor.
Rodeo Drive Ibn Battuta Gate opens August 2025. Whether it’s steaks with the squad, arcade nights, or a full-throttle family outing, this is where Dubai comes to let loose.
