POV - From our Point of View: A snapshot of the emerging trends we have our eyes on.
Kitschy is Catchy.
It’s the non-seasonal evolution of the over-the-top Christmas bar—where maximalism reigns, and reality takes a back seat. Immersive, themed cocktail experiences are built for our social media age, blending retro nostalgia with modern tastes in a way that’s both familiar and fantastical. These spaces aren’t about subtlety; they’re about spectacle—where every corner is curated for the camera, and every drink doubles as décor. But in the world of high-concept bars, novelty has a shelf life. That’s why many of these experiences are intentionally fleeting, ticketed events designed to create urgency and keep the buzz alive.
