Bar du Port is bringing its signature blend of Riviera-inspired charm and nightlife to Abu Dhabi with a new venue at Yas Marina. Set to open in the last quarter of the year, this marks the brand’s sixth location in the region and another milestone for AlphaMind, the global lifestyle hospitality group founded by Addmind Hospitality and ADMO Lifestyle Holding.
With existing venues in Dubai, Beirut, Byblos, Doha and Cairo, Bar du Port has become one of the region’s most recognizable hospitality names. Since first opening in Beirut nine years ago, the French-style bar and restaurant has built a reputation for creating lifestyle-driven experiences. Its ethos of “a little luxury, a lot of fun” has proven to resonate across borders, drawing an international clientele who share a taste for elegant dining and lively energy.
“This is a very exciting new chapter for us. Bar du Port’s expansion into Abu Dhabi speaks to the strength of the brand and the distinctive experiences we are proud to offer. We are thrilled to bring our signature French flair and fun to Yas Marina, and look forward to welcoming guests from across the world.”
Jacque Kassab, General Manager
The new venue will take over the iconic Yas Marina location that has been home to Iris for more than a decade. Yas Marina itself has long been a cosmopolitan hub for hospitality and entertainment, and Bar du Port’s arrival feels like a natural next step in its evolution. While Iris prepares for its next chapter with new developments on the horizon, Bar du Port will continue to shape the vibrant dining and nightlife scene that Yas Marina has become known for.
“Yas Marina is the perfect next step – a cosmopolitan hub for some of the world’s most dynamic hospitality and lifestyle brands. This milestone not only marks a new chapter for AlphaMind, but also reflects the continued growth of ADMO Lifestyle Holding’s portfolio in the UAE capital. Over the next 12 to 18 months, we’re deepening our investment in Abu Dhabi with three new venues in development, reinforcing our commitment to the city’s evolving cultural and culinary landscape.”
Sanjay Nandi, Group CEO of ADMO Lifestyle Holding.
Bar du Port promises to bring French Riviera-inspired dining and nightlife to Abu Dhabi, blending seasonal dishes with global expression, stunning marina views and a vibrant atmosphere. It’s a concept designed for those who want their evenings to linger a little longer, filled with great food, beautiful energy and that distinct mix of chic and playful that the brand has perfected.
