Gulf Bar Show

Gulf Bar Show With each passing year, records are gained and broken and stacked by brilliant people leading brilliant businesses.

The Gulf Bar Show gathers the MENA and Asia’s bar and beverage industry’s best talent and brands to learn, network, make deals, and explore regional and global trends. And while they meet at award ceremonies and openings here and there, they’ve had little space to mingle properly with their own kind and those moving their industry. From the troops on the ground to the region’s biggest distributors

and investors, the Gulf Bar Show is the bar and beverage industry’s meeting spot. We absorb and distill the ocean of information and trends into immediately usable knowledge, for the community to connect and collaborate, and eventually grow stronger together. Because when you take part of GBS, you carry its spirit back to your bars, restaurants, and boardrooms knowing you're part of something bigger. This is what the Gulf Bar Show is all about; culture, craftsmanship, and community. We envision the MENA bar and beverage industry standing tall on the global stage. Although it’s as close to reality as we choose it to be, now is as good a time as any.
