The Nice Guy Opens Dubai Outpost

The Nice Guy (Los Angeles) has announced the opening of its latest restaurant concept in Dubai’s Emirates Towers, according to a company press release.

Similar to the brand’s current West Hollywood flagship, the lounge and restaurant “pays homage to the decadent era of Mafia bars” reads the release.

Designed through a collaboration between The h.wood Group and MKIA Hospitality, visitors are welcomed to the space by an authentic vintage marble bar adorned with brass; booths provide private dining nearby. Luxe materials strive to add both comfort and warmth to the space. Other eye-catching textures include custom cedar walls.

Managing Partner and Co-Founder of MKIA Hospitality, Mohammad Irshaid, says, “We approached The h.wood Group team after spending years following their success and the power behind the name ‘The Nice Guy.’ Not to sound cliché but there was something about the name that instantly clicked, and I knew it was exactly the venue that Dubai needed. My main goal working with the team in LA is to maintain the vision of The Nice Guy brand … Therefore, when it came to creating the Dubai venue, we have worked to keep the same layout and design elements from the establishment in LA.”
