From brews to burgers and beyond
Six brand-new and exciting dining destinations are set to land at Yas Bay, bringing even more variety to the popular waterfront hotspot.
Already known for some of the capital’s best eateries and buzzing weekend vibes, Yas Bay is about to get an extra splash of flavour.
From the UAE’s first microbrewery and authentic Neapolitan pizza straight from Naples, to a beachside burger haven and Iberian-inspired cuisine, it’s shaping up to be the ultimate spot for evenings out with friends.
Craft by Side Hustle
Opening: Q1 2026
The UAE’s first microbrewery concept and gastropub, Craft by Side Hustle, is landing at Yas Bay. This industrial-chic spot offers small-batch brews crafted on-site, complemented by a menu of Southern-style smokehouse dishes.
If you’re a hops enthusiast or a mixed drink lover, their rotating taps and signature drinks are hard to resist.

For all pizza lovers out there, a slice of Naples at L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele will now be your go-to on Yas Bay.
Established in 1870 and made famous by Eat Pray Love, this pizzeria serves the iconic ‘Pizza of the People,’ – simple, wood-fired, and made with recipes passed down through generations.
With ingredients flown in directly from Italy, every bite feels like a taste of authentic Neapolitan tradition.
Bayside Burger
Opening: November
Inspired by classic surf culture and offering juicy burgers, fresh salads, and creamy ice cream in a relaxed, waterfront setting, Bayside Burger will bring a laid-back, beachside vibe to Yas Bay (perfect for when the two beaches finally open).
Promising a vintage coastal vibe with outdoor seating overlooking the water, it might just become the ultimate spot to unwind after a day of fun in Yas Island.

If you are seeking a new casual dining experience in the heart of Yas Bay, Marcella will be very soon calling your name.
Featuring flavours inspired by the Iberian Peninsula, the restaurant promises a menu that blends traditional Iberian ingredients with contemporary flair. It’s brought to us under the guidance of Chef Mario Loi, the same chef responsible for the success of the award-winning Yas Marina restaurant Mika, so we have a great feeling about this one.
This is perfect for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere and a taste of Spain and Portugal in Abu Dhabi.
