Cocktail Kitchen is a specialist cocktail bar that focuses in equal measure on the craft of mixology and the culinary skills of the Head Chef. The customer’s experience of preparing fresh ingredients and making both cocktails and dishes was important to the client.

Designed by UAE based practice Anarchitect, architects Jonathan Ashmore and Tarik Zaharna created a sequence of spaces over 500 sqm that maximize social interaction as part of the overall experience. According to the designers, it was important to create a journey and narrative embedded in the project that continually intrigues and invites guests back to engage and enjoy these experiences in a relaxed and beautifully crafted environment.

Situated in Dubai’s lesser known neighbourhood of Jumeirah Lakes Towers, the unexpected arrival of the unique, home-grown and design conscious Cocktail Kitchen has instigated a new going-out scene of up-and-coming stylish and social venues. Cocktail Kitchen stands out from the typical glamorous Dubai scene because it is a destination that really puts ‘social experience’ at the heart of its design, layout and its hospitality.

Cocktail Kitchen at its essence has always been playful, individual, social and entertaining. But behind all of this lies a passion to create something that will last and to seed a social culture where regulars, visitors, new and old faces come to enjoy the environment that has been created and which continues to organically evolve. As such, the attention to detail in Cocktail Kitchen extends beyond the attention to craft and material details.
