Névé Luxury Ice
(23 November 2009) - by Julie Wolfson Preferring the word barsmith over bartender, Michel Dozois takes the mixed drink to a whole new level with his invention of Névé luxury ice. On hand for the opening of major L.A. bars such as Church and State, Seven Grand and Comme Ça, Dozois knows a good drink, and his philosophy is that truly great cocktails begins with perfect ice. After...

Antarctica Sub Zero Pop-Up Bar and Restaurant
(06 November 2009) - As São Paulo's humid summer approaches, just in time to help cool things down an unusual pop-up restaurant/bar called Estação Antarctica Sub Zero opens this weekend in the bar-heavy neighborhood of Vila Madalena. Conceived to promote the Brazilian beer company Antarctica's new beer, the temporary venue celebrates their double-filtration process at 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit and the refreshing new drink.

Minibar
(15 May 2009) - by Laura Neilson Most of us associate the term "mini-bar" with hotel room fridges harboring overpriced soft drinks, booze and snacks, but in Amsterdam, it's a decidedly unusual addition to the city's nightlife. Minibar, the recently-opened drinking spot in the Dutch city's center, operates by allowing customers to serve themselves from the bar's series of variously-sized beverage coolers. After checking in with a staff member...

Emerald Peacock Bar
(05 May 2009) - Following the success of their Red Hummingbird on Russell Street in Melbourne (famous for its hummingbird wallpaper), the owners recently opened The Emerald Peacock bar and restaurant on Londsdale Street. While I'm sure the food and drink is fantastic, it's the sumptuous interior that's creating all the buzz. It again features signature wallpaper, used as the starting point for the entire design. Each space...

Bar Rage
(01 May 2009) - by Julie Wolfson Often tucked away on side streets and down alleys, some of the best bars and restaurants in Tokyo are behind unmarked doors. Bar Rage takes that notion to an extreme, with no signs of a bar from the exterior. A tiny elevator lifts guests to the third floor, unveiling a huge space that boasts an extensive vintage liquor collection, a bar with...

Jupiter Hotel
(24 April 2009) - by Anna Chisholm Recapturing the heady days of the '60s and '70s when groupies hit the road in hot pursuit of the latest music sensation, the Jupiter Hotel in Portland is vintage Americana incarnate. It's an unassuming roadside motel that houses one of Oregon’s premier music venues and a hub of effervescent creativity. The Doug Fir Lounge is Jupiter's main attraction, a softly lit, mod...

Three Melbourne Bars
(22 January 2008) - With Australian summer in full swing, now is the time to check out some of Melbourne's new and notable bars. Whether you're a local or on holiday and whether you go for the movies or the eco-conscious vibe, they're all spots where the women glow and the men plunder.

La Botica Mezcal
(29 November 2007) - Our friends from m ss ng p eces recently returned from making a video in Mexico City with bottles of a smoky, complex mezcal labeled "La Botica." Turns out La Botica is a small mezcaleria in the trendy Condesa section of the city that's rebranding the humble liquor for a new audience with beautifully-designed packaging and an artisinal approach. Since opening a couple years...

Vintage Elephant Bar
(21 September 2007) - I've recovered from obsessing over the vintage Gucci picnic set and moved on to this 1940s elephant bar, created for an English diplomat who clearly spent some time in the bush and had a big living room. Standing some four feet tall, this leather replica has a presence and originality that you won't find at the mall. My guess is the gent liked his...

The New Old Tokyo
(12 July 2007) - The 12 million person metropolis of Tokyo has gone all quiet and traditional. Tiny, obscured bars buried in dark alleyways behind nondescript doors are inviting small numbers of trusted patrons to quiet nights of reserved nightlife where a word of mouth invitation is the hottest ticket in this technology-obsessed city. Recounted through a fine piece of travel writing, Julia Chaplin of the NY Times...

Berlin Observed: Ping Pong, Organics and Lebensmittel
(26 June 2007) - While Berlin's heyday as the avant-capitol of Europe has been in decline, I recently noticed a few Berliner habits that show the city still has an edge—even if it is a softer, more grown-up one. Ping Pong tables are everywhere, in public parks, bars and even in the garden of my friend’s apartment. It's not uncommon for players to carry their own paddles and balls...

Ministry of Sound's Minibar
(23 March 2006) - Fifteen years since the original club opened in London's Elephant and Castle, Ministry of Sound has evolved beyond all recognition into a truly global brand. These days, it doesn't just sell dance music of all shades, but also the audio equipment to listen to it on, and even clubbing holidays to places like Egypt. Ministry's latest off-shoot is the Minibar, which aims to be...

The Big Chill House
(16 February 2006) - The Big Chill Festival was one of my highlights of last year, and with Glastonbury taking a break in 2006, it's likely to attract even more people this summer. Off the back of its success, the Big Chill brand is quietly establishing itself in London. First with its eponymous bar off Brick Lane, and now with The Big Chill House. It's planning an opening...

Freezing Hot-Spot
(25 July 2005) - Fittingly in time for winter, Lapland's famed Icebar is making its way to London's decidedly fashionable Heddon Street later this year. Joining the ranks of the world's most absurdly ambitious clubs and lounges, this 1,000 square-foot space will be constructed almost entirely out of ice shipped from the River Torne in northern Sweden. Nearly everything down to the barstools and single-use glasses will be...

Sensacell
(27 May 2005) - Leo Fernekes is a bit of a mad scientist operating in the commercial art-technology realm. He's a master electrical engineer exploring physically immersive human interfaces. If you have ever been to Remote Lounge, the hyper-surveillance themed bar on the Bowery in New York, you've had a taste of what Leo can conceive. Last night I had a chance to experience Leo's latest, Sensacell, developed...

Punk Vans
(09 September 2004) - Onward with punk... Vans was showing these lovelies at Soled Out tonight. "How was the event" you ask? Kind of annoying. The kicks were pretty good, but they were all packed in behind a tiny little bar where crowds were 3 and 4 deep. There was too much going on to take it all in, but I was able to grab some pics......

Craig Kanarick

He has channeled his fascination for the design of candy into a stunning series of color study photographs. Eye Candy will be opening next Tuesday, 9 March at Dylan's Candy Bar, 1011 3rd Avenue in NYC. Photos are also for sale in Dylan's Web Store....
