International Brew Day or IBD as it is called amongst those in the know is always celebrated on the first Friday in August. It started in 2008 in Santa Cruz, California and since then has been taken up in 208 cities around the world. Beer aficionado’s everywhere will raise a glass to this fun day out.
Pick Good Friends to Drink Brew With
Use IBD as an excuse to gather the troops and get your friend group together for good banter to go with with your brews.

We in Dubai are blessed with tonnes of great bars and clubs, Dubai Night has made it easy for you by compiling a handy list of cool venues in Dubai.
If Irish beers like Guinness are more your thing then McGettigan’s will be right up your street. They have 4 bars across Dubai, with a 5th on the way and are famous for their raucous nights. Another great Irish themed bar in a traditional wooden pub setting is The Irish Village, which has 2 venues in Dubai, or you could plump for a pint at The Dubliners.
If you prefer Belgian brew, then the Belgian Beer Café and Le Petit Belge are the places to try out a full-bodied Belgian brew and maybe some Moules-Frites to go with it. Loca serves hip Mexican brews, while Barasti is known as one of Dubai’s best beach bars. If you fancy celebrating International Brew Day in a NY style industrial bar with live music, then grab some friends and head to Lock Stock and Barrel. For fans of an old fashioned British bar then you cant go wrong with the Dhow and Anchor Gastro-pub or the Double Decker sports bar, where you can catch up with Premier league footy games, while you sip on a pint of brew.
IBD Traditions
At Dubai Night, we fully approve of the International Brew Day tradition of buying a brew for a pal, and the tradition dictates that you must say “I bring you the gift of brew”, when you give them a pint. It makes buying rounds a whole lot more fun.
Be Adventurous
Many countries brew their own brews, all with a distinctive flavour of their own. Try out some of the different bars from our list to sample brews from around the globe.
Don’t Forget to Leave a Tip
If you think your bartender was great, give them a tip. It also means that you will get served quickly as bartenders always remember who gave them a big tip and give them the VIP treatment.
Remember to Share
International Brew Day is celebrated globally, in breweries and bars across the world. If you have had a great time in a certain bar, or found your new favourite brew, then share it in DubaiNight’s Facebook page, and follow us for more tips on fabulous nights out in Dubai.
