Bahrain’s dining and nightlife scene is about to get louder, bolder, and smokier. CLAW BBQ, the celebrated Southern-style American BBQ and crab shack brand, officially opens its doors on 14 December atop the 44th floor of Hilton Bahrain, introducing panoramic skyline views paired with unapologetically indulgent comfort food.
Already a cult favorite across Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and Doha, CLAW BBQ’s arrival marks one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the season in the Kingdom.
A High-Octane Launch with Bahrain Bikers Parade
Staying true to its high-energy DNA, CLAW BBQ kicks off its Bahrain debut with a launch parade led by Bahrain Bikers. The celebratory ride will roll through Manama and Adliya, before returning to Hilton Bahrain—setting the tone for an opening night rooted in community, culture, and bold expression.
Doors officially open at 8:30 PM on December 14, making it a must-visit debut for Bahrain’s nightlife lovers.
