Step Into the World of Bar Dali – Maison Dali's New Cocktail Bar

Step Into the World of Bar Dali – Maison Dali's New Cocktail Bar

Web Release19-06-2025
By nightfall, Maison Dali transforms – hidden within the iconic curves of The Opus by Dame Zaha Hadid, Bar Dali emerges as a dreamscape of surrealist mischief, inventive cocktails, and cinematic storytelling. A new chapter in Maison Dali's ever-evolving narrative, Bar Dali is a nocturnal reverie – a velvet-draped hideaway where Salvador Dalí's whimsical spirit meets modern mixology, and each detail beckons the curious to stay and explore.
Designed by Culinary Arts Group, led by award-winning Chef Tristin Farmer and Beverage Director Vitor Hugo Lourenço, Bar Dali is not simply an extension of Maison Dali – it is a destination within a destination. Step beyond the red carpet, past flickering lights and plush interiors, and you enter an atmosphere where theatricality and taste collide. Sculptural seating, mischievous art installations and softly glowing shadows conspire to pull guests deeper into the story.
Here, cocktails become the conversation. Inspired by the immersive worlds of the Arte Museum, Vitor's signature BARTENDER menu for Bar Dali features 10 visionary creations, each a liquid vignette. Discover SYMPHONY, delicate and floral; LUNAR, peated and umami-rich; and DEEP SEA, dark, elegant, and timeless. Each cocktail is both a visual and flavour performance – artful, expressive, and unexpected.
Complementing the libations is a curated selection of bold bites and elevated handrolls. Chef Tristin Farmer reimagines bar dining through a lens of global playfulness and finesse. Savour small plates like Wagyu Hashbrowns and Crispy Truffle Mochi, or linger with indulgent rolls like Unagi & Foie Gras and Smoked Caviar & Wasabi – each bite a story, each dish an exclamation.
As night falls deeper, Bar Dali's energy hums with sensuality and rhythm. A soundtrack of curated beats animates the space, transforming every visit into a mood – a whisper, a laugh, a spark. This is not a bar. This is Bar Dali – a secret unveiled after dark, where nothing is quite what it seems and everything is designed to delight.
Red Passion Hour
An ode to aperitivo hour, Red Passion Hour invites guests to unwind every weekday from 5 PM to 7 PM. With a line-up of seductive Campari-forward classics – including the Classico Negroni, Garibaldi, Boulevardier, and Mezcal Negroni – as well as bold G&Ts and the ever-bold Americano, each sip is a toast to the surreal. Priced from AED 45, this golden hour ritual is your first glimpse into Bar Dali's world of bold flavour and visual fantasy.
Red Passion Hour Offering: Selection of cocktails priced at AED 45 each
Red Passion Hour Operating Hours: Monday to Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm
Bar Dali Operating Hours: Monday to Thursday from 6 pm to 12:30 am & Friday to Saturday 6 pm to 1:30 am
