A new all-American concept is making its way to Dubai this August. Rodeo Drive is opening at the Oaks Hotel, Ibn Battuta Gate, bringing with it a mix of live-fire cooking, games, music, and family-friendly zones.
Split into six areas, Rodeo Drive is part restaurant, part entertainment hub. Expect classic American character paired with a modern layout designed by Hiren Ganatra. From leather booths and timber decor in the Wild West Grill to a neon-lit arcade, cage-style bull-riding zone, and even a hidden speakeasy behind a bookshelf, the venue is built to deliver variety.

At the heart of the experience is the grill pit, led by Head Chef Walter Melo. The menu draws inspiration from Texas and Mexico, with flame-grilled steaks, smoked brisket, Tex-Mex snacks, and Cali-Mex-style dishes. The venue is pork-licensed, so expect a full Southern BBQ lineup.
Rodeo Drive goes beyond food. Guests can expect live bands, DJs, themed nights, and a range of interactive games like beer pong, darts, and retro arcade classics. And yes, there’s a mechanical bull, open for anyone ready to put their skills (or luck) to the test.

The concept isn’t just for adults. Kids aged 1 to 10 get their own play zone, complete with wall games, books, crafts, and on-site childcare. Under-21s are welcome in the restaurant section.
Opening just next month, Rodeo Drive is shaping up to be a dynamic new destination for food and entertainment under one roof. And if you’re keeping track of the city’s hottest new venues, don’t miss our selection of the best new restaurants in Dubai in 2025.
