7 Tales

7 Tales, Dubai Marina

Only a small neon sign will let on what is located behind the anonymous door - but once inside, you will find yourself walking around, finding new Insta-worthy angles, all the while you’re sipping on absolute masterful cocktails. A visit is a must, even in its own right, but a visit to the downstairs restaurant may as well be planned. Expect greatness throughout.

???? 8/8: Bold and intimate with a clear nod to the Japanese underground cocktail scene - this venue is setting a new standard for speakeasies in Dubai. Someone (LW design group) has had great fun designing this masterpiece; striking graffiti murals, timeless neon signs and jazzy furniture - and a Negroni board game!
???? 8/8: The complexity and depth of flavor in their signature cocktails are reaching levels few others can compete with - and the presentation is an august testament to functional minimalism.
????u200d???? 7/8: With Alexander Makarov running the show behind the bar (refreshing background, with a stint in Saudi before coming to 7 Tales), and Orri Pall (with an equally interesting background) as the mastermind behind the scenes - this team is steaming ahead on their way to perfection.
???? 6/8: Big, clear ice cubes - but so far the omnipotent ice stamp is nowhere to be found. Provisions for the showcase ice block are already in place - so with time, this will be a full score as well.

Hidden on the upper floor of City Social, 7 Tales is a genius’ master stroke by Jason Atherton and his team. The venue, excellently designed, is intimate yet captivating, and the cocktails are following the same example - precise yet beguiling, and very moorish. This is the literal version of a cocktail bar, where the food on order is condensed to four versions of Otsumami, and all the power of the team goes into the cocktails instead. And what an absolute coup de maître - perfection in a glass. The aficionados will find great joy in the separate Negroni menu, while the signature cocktails all cater for different pallets and tastes.

Cocktail: Shiso Negroni
