Biggest Filipino-owned bar in Deira opens doors, offering dining and nightlife in one

Dubai’s nightlife just got louder and brighter as RT Restobar officially celebrated its grand opening in Deira, marking its rise as the biggest Filipino-owned bar in the area. The launch drew a distinguished guest list, including Vice Consul Jim Jimeno, Philippine Airlines Regional Head for EMEA Josh Jimeno, event producer Crislen Grace Moore, youth mentor Josie Conlu, SME advocate Jeremy Paul De Jesus, LBC Operations Head Edwin Duria, and the Chairman Emeritus of the Philippine Business Council, all of whom witnessed the unveiling of this mega club.

Led by owners Jonathan Quiatchon, Rowell Obina, Salvador Tolentino Jr., William Gonzales, Rei Mon Espejo, and Leandro Veloso, RT Restobar promises more than just a place to dine. Once focused on Filipino food, the establishment has now expanded into international cuisine, paired with handcrafted cocktails and carefully curated liqueurs. “We now highlight the next level of dining experience and serve a wide range of options may it be international delicacies, cocktails, and delicately selected liqueurs to bring out an exquisite experience of luxury at an affordable price,” the owners shared.

Positioned as a mega club comparable to the elite restobars of Jumeirah, RT Restobar features state-of-the-art amenities including darts, billiards, an overhead light matrix, two side bars, and a wide DJ stage—all set against a backdrop of sumptuous food and entertainment. With a seating capacity of 800 guests, the venue is ready to host birthdays, corporate events, and grand celebrations, while also offering food deliveries for those who prefer the experience at home. Soon, patrons can also look forward to a new highlight on the menu—the famous Pinoy Cochinillo.

Located at the Grand Central Hotel on Rigga Road, Deira, RT Restobar is poised to become a go-to destination for both Filipinos and international guests seeking luxury nightlife at a price that feels like home.
