This place is a veritable feast for the eye - no matter where you turn your head, you feel like walking in the Narnia of cocktail bars. The signature cocktails all follow the same enchanting theme, even though the result sometimes makes you wish for a more refined execution. Same thing goes for the bartenders that some of them seem to care more about hauling out easy-to-mix cocktails rather than making something more elaborate not in the menu, but requested from a customer - perhaps a side effect of being a hugely popular place in the middle of the Dubai Marina; haul ass or drown in the wake (no pun intended)..Come here for the dutiful cocktail and Instagram your way through the premises - but do so off peak hours for guaranteed attention from staff.
Atmosphere: 8/8
An absolutely mesmerizing interior that has you hold your breath in awe of the designers that came up with this theme, add to that vibrant music and a beautiful bar as well - the place is a home run.
Cocktails: 6/8
Interesting selection of signature cocktails, most of them finished ably - gratefully enough they are also benefited with recounting one-liners.
Bartenders: 5/8
A bit of hit-and-miss - one visit the bartender is attentive and obliging, while at the other visit the very same one seem blind and several times pass the only guest in the bar. When you do get service though - it’s quick and knowledgeable.
Ice: 4/8
Small ice cubes - ever since Professor Jürgen Hans decided to invent the first ice machine in 1929, this has been the curse of good cocktails. Please step into the 21st century and go for big, clear ice cubes.
