FOR TASTE-MAKERS + RULE-BREAKERS

Papa rewrites the rules: nine beautiful concept bars dedicated to avant-garde mixology. One bar for each of nine culturally significant spirits – a near-infinite number of ways to experience them. Exquisite food, flambuoyant team, exhilarating music – all in one meticulously designed venue. Papa is the canvas on which you paint your own unique evening.

MIXOLOGY NINE THEATRES OF CREATIVITY

MAGICAL MOMENTS A world of invention in every glass. With nine culturally themed, spirit-honouring bars covering everything from champagne to sake, we take you on a global tour of cocktail trends and techniques. These are the fusions, vapours, colours, and sensory delights of a planet on mixological overdrive. Each bar has its own eight signature cocktails together with the world’s classics and many more examples of global mixological creativity, all produced by a team of avant-garde mixologists who live to experiment. If that’s not enough, you can mix your own explosion of taste and technique. Fasten seat belts for the mixological ride of your life.

FOOD FROM INSPIRED JOURNEYS

EVERY DISH TELLS A STORY Food and food-lovers travel far. Brilliant flavours skip across the oceans to be reinvented for new audiences. The ability to reimagine the best of what the world has to offer drives our Peruvian-born Executive Chef, Emanuel Alvarado. Emanuel refined his craft at some of Europe and Asia’s finest restaurants before coming to us to create food that delights the eye and the palate. For each bar, Emanuel has created a superb signature dish rooted in the bar’s geography and culture. Through dishes such as Norwegian salmon ceviche, Argentinian fried shrimp, sake mussels, tuna avocado salad, scallop gratin, saffron lamb chops, royal seafood platter, and cauliflower carpaccio, Emanuel draws you deeper into the immersive world of Papa. This is food to share and inspire … to eat with the beat … to match the most thrilling moments of your life.

AMBIENCE UNSTOPPABLE RULE-BREAKING ENERGY

A PLACE TO CALL YOUR OWN The Papa vibe is energetic yet relaxed because it’s absolutely natural. We take our own rule-breaking route, and we do it so brilliantly, you know it comes from deep within. Two fingers to convention, to style-limiting dress codes, and to dull predictability. We’re here to set your evening alight – to create the food, the cocktails, the artworks, and the ambience of a thousand unforgettable visits. Papa’s mood changes with you. From a quiet dinner with friends to non-stop dancing, your evening evolves as your energy levels rise and the tempo picks up. Each evening we take you on a fresh journey of discovery. We are taste-makers and rule-breakers, we dial it up, we create the canvas on which you splash your own social creativity.

PEOPLE CHARISMATIC AND PASSIONATE

CHARACTER AND CHARISMA We are our own people. Big characters, all of us – different in so many ways, yet united in our nothing’s-gonna-stop-me zest for life. Born to entertain, each of us has something unique to share. And we don’t hold back. We serve our food with verve, mix wild cocktails with panache, and fuel each lively evening with laughter and adrenalin. We take our cue from our founder, Natalia Freys, the creative force behind Papa. For her and for us, life is here and now. When the DJ plays the soundtrack to our bar, we’re on our feet, dancing as one with the joy and exhilaration of performance artists. We’re the spark that ignites the social engine that is Papa.

MUSIC PAPA’S BEATS

MUSICAL TRANSCENDENCE The best music lifts and transforms. It’s not background, it’s not incidental, it’s the ultimate soundtrack to your life. At Papa, the music is transcendent. It sets the mood for each evolving moment, evening into night, six days a week; it draws you deep into the mystery, the magic, and the energy of Papa. And every Thursday we mix to the max when we fly in an international celebrity DJ. We curate a sound so evocative and immersive, it touches your soul.

PAPA FUNDAMENTALS Papa is ready to issue its siren call to Dubai’s social and mixological adventurers. In taste-makers + rule-breakers, we have developed an all-encompassing concept that speaks to the Papa tribe’s hunger for stylish innovation.

In the colours, graphic frames, and bar monograms, we have a look that’s quirky, inventive, and endlessly adaptable. The platform blends images, ideas, and graphic devices into a coherent, instantly recognisable whole. This is Papa staking its own unique place in the world.
