Hilton Bahrain has officially announced that CLAWBBQ, the well-known Southern-style BBQ, grill and crabshack brand, will open on December 14 on the hotel’s 44th floor in Juffair. The brand, which has built a strong following in Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and Doha, is poised to become one of the Kingdom’s most anticipated new dining and social destinations.

To kick off the launch, celebrations will start with a CLAW BBQ Parade, led by Bahrain Bikers, riding from Hilton Bahrain through Manama and Adliya before returning to the hotel between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm. CLAW BBQ’s door will open to the public at 8:30 pm on December 14. Starting December 15, regular hours will be: Sunday–Thursday from 4 pm to 3 am, and Friday–Saturday from 12 pm to 3 am.

Mohamed Ghuloom Juma, Chairman of Bahrain Bikers, expressed his excitement about partnering for the opening parade. “We’re proud to support Hilton Bahrain in welcoming CLAW BBQ to the Kingdom. Bahrain Bikers have always believed in celebrating community and local experiences, and this opening brings something fresh and energetic to the dining scene. We’re thrilled to be part of the very first chapter.”

CLAW BBQ is known for its lively atmosphere, Southern hospitality, and bold, crowd-pleasing flavors. Guests can dig into crowd-favorites like slow-cooked BBQ beef ribs, tender Texas-style brisket and an array of seafood including King Crab, Snow Crab, Oysters and more. The menu also features CLAW BBQ’s sensational range of burgers and comfort-food classics—think stuffed jalapeños, fried pickles, indulgent desserts, and their signature tableside guacamole. All of this comes together in a high-energy setting that includes billiards tables, arcade-style games, large sports screens and panoramic skyline views across Manama.

Hilton Bahrain’s General Manager, Tamer Farouk, played a key role in bringing the concept to the Kingdom after first experiencing it during his time in Doha. “CLAW BBQ is so much more than a restaurant—it’s an experience built around food, energy and fun,” Farouk said. “Its personality fits perfectly with Hilton Bahrain and with the vibrant spirit of Juffair.”

Since its debut in Dubai in 2013, CLAW BBQ has become a regional success story, expanding across the GCC and earning multiple awards, including its recent recognition as Favourite North American & Caribbean Restaurant at the 2025 Fact Dining Awards. The Bahrain opening marks the brand’s latest expansion, with additional locations expected to be announced soon. For Hilton Bahrain, the arrival of CLAW BBQ strengthens its growing lifestyle and dining portfolio and supports the hotel’s commitment to delivering fresh, memorable and community-driven guest experiences.
