Lebanese pub concept Esco-bar, brought by MEC Concepts, has landed in Doha. MEC Concepts, whose founder and CEO is Marc Chehade, has a strong foothold in the nightlife and F&B industry with various successful concepts, such as Lockstock, La Palma, and Stairway, among many others.

Chehade said that the brand was franchised to Doha and that the franchise development plan was signed between him and Foodies Hospitality’s GM, Elie Gebrael.

Esco-bar opened in January 2021 and is located at the rooftop of the VIP Hotel in Doha, Qatar. This is Esco-bar’s first step toward regional expansion in the MENA region.
