Step Into 1920—An Ode To The Roaring Twenties, 52 Floors Up
In a city known for its constant motion, 1920 Dubai offers a new kind of rhythm. Music leads the experience, soulful, ever evolving, and at the heart of the brand’s identity, setting the tone for an evening defined by character and craft. Created by D.ream, the global hospitality group behind acclaimed destinations such as Amazónico, Zuma, and COYA, 1920 draws inspiration from a golden era, reimagined through a contemporary lens. It’s a refined escape for Dubai’s discerning crowd, where cocktail culture is elevated, and the post-work ritual finds new expression. Layered in deep textures, warm lighting, and thoughtful design, the space balances intimacy with spectacle, offering an atmosphere that feels both grounded and transportive. Perched on the 52nd floor of ICD Brookfield Place, 1920 reveals one of the city’s most striking views, the Burj Khalifa shimmering in the distance.
Design Notes
Drawing inspiration from the glamour and spirit of the Roaring Twenties, the space is designed by the acclaimed Spanish architect, painter & creative visionary, Lázaro Rosa-Violán. A cinematic blend of Art Deco symmetry and contemporary texture, the interior layers hand-finished details, sculptural lighting, and a sweeping Italian modern mural. The city’s skyline unfolds through expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, complemented by velvet-lined booths that create private enclaves amid the lively atmosphere. At 1920, guests discover a sanctuary where quiet moments and vibrant nightlife coexist, a place where every evening feels curated, every corner tells a story, and every visit leaves a trace.
Spirits & Signatures
The bar is the soul of 1920. Drawing from Prohibition-era classics, each creation is as thoughtful as it is transportive, crafted to evoke mood, memory, and conversation. Signature cocktails like The Gatsby, The Plume, and Casa Casoni reflect a spirit of precision and restraint, while by-the-glass Champagne list, including 2013 Dom Pérignon Brut and NV Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, underscores a commitment to offering exceptional labels at unmatched value. A sophisticated spirits and wine list completes the program, ensuring every pour delivers nuance and intent.
Sounds By 1920
1920 pairs its impeccable cocktails with a musical experience that transports guests through a journey of glamour and groove. From early evening, resident DJs blend classic jazz and swing with modern lounge and house rhythms, offering a dynamic fusion of vintage and contemporary sound. Central to 1920’s authentic vibe is its curated lineup of vinyl DJs, whose sets bring the warm, rich textures of analog records from the golden age of music. Their performances infuse the space with a nostalgic yet fresh energy that’s truly unique.
Live performers elevate the ambiance with acoustic sets featuring instruments like saxophones and pianos, adding an authentic, soulful touch. The soundtrack evolves as the night unfolds, shifting effortlessly from golden-hour sophistication to a more high-energy, late-night spirit. It’s not just background music, it’s the soul of the venue, designed to immerse guests in the elegance of the 1920s with the pulse of today.
Bite-Sized Indulgence
A thoughtfully composed menu of elevated bar fare reflects the same philosophy as the cocktail list, intentional, indulgent, and refined. Savoury selections range from Oscietra caviar with pomme duchesse and sour cream, to Bluefin Tuna Tataki with yuzu ponzu mayonnaise, homemade Salmon Gravlax Tacos, and the Montecristo Toast, a rich blend of cooked duck ham, black truffle, and melted cheddar. For something more substantial, Australian Wagyu Steak, Lobster Rolls, and Angus Beef Sliders with black truffle mayo offer familiar comforts with a sophisticated edge, while lighter bites like grilled Egyptian Olives and Spiced Pomme Gaufrette bring contrast and clarity.
Desserts continue the experience with a sense of playful refinement, from 1920 Cigars crafted with shortbread, hazelnut praline, and lemon dip, to Iced Chew Bars with coconut sorbet and zesty lime jam, and a refreshing Watermelon Pizza topped with berries and acacia honey. The Rhum Baba, soaked in vanilla syrup and crowned with Chantilly, brings the evening to a timeless close.
