"Most speakeasies hide from the police. Bar Dali hides from reality."
— Vitor Hugo Lourenço, Beverage Director
Bar Dali redefines the speakeasy experience in Dubai. We offer something rarer than seclusion: imagination. This is our Surrealist Sanctuary, a haven where imagination is the main ingredient and alchemy is in every glass, our bar is a celebrated destination for surrealist cocktails and Michelin-level bites.
Liquid artistry curated by Beverage Director Vitor Hugo Lourenço. Our cocktail program transcends traditional mixology—some drinks change flavor as you sip them, others flow endlessly from our iconic Negroni Fountain. This is alchemy disguised as hospitality.
Each creation is a surrealist canvas in liquid form, challenging perception and rewarding curiosity.
1 PIN Award from The Pinnacle Guide. Our vision has been validated by the world's most discerning critics. When Double Chicken Please—ranked #14 in the World's 50 Best Bars—chose Bar Dali for their Dubai takeover, it confirmed our place in the global cocktail conversation.
This is not a bar that seeks approval. It earns respect.
Veronika leads Maison Dali's wine program with a philosophy rooted in precision and pleasure. Our wine list is intentionally calibrated, every bottle has earned its place.

Bar Dali is positioned as an ultra-luxury asset, competing with fine art, rare watches, and bespoke tailoring rather than traditional restaurant dining. Pricing is upon request and depends on ingredient sourcing, menu complexity, and the scope of your culinary portrait. This is not simply dinner—you are commissioning a piece of ephemeral art. Contact our concierge for a personalized consultation.
The Bar Dali experience is available for groups of 2 to 8 guests. This intimate setting allows Chef Farmer to focus entirely on your group's unique culinary story.
While private dining offers exclusivity, Bar Dali is a collaborative art commission. You don't choose from a menu; the menu is created from your personal narrative. The resulting multi-course meal will be cooked only once for your specific group and never repeated. Ingredients are sourced globally, sometimes specifically for your one service. Chef Farmer translates your life experiences into dishes using 3-star Michelin technique. You're not buying dinner; you're commissioning a culinary portrait.
The consultation goes far beyond dietary preferences. You'll discuss favorite memories, significant life moments, beloved travel destinations, and even abstract concepts like colors or musical genres. This personal dossier becomes Chef Farmer's inspiration. For example, if your greatest success was a deal closed in Tokyo, he might create a dish capturing the scent of cherry blossoms after rain. If your fondest memory is childhood on the Scottish coast, he'll find a way to put that on the plate.
