A simple design allows bar-goers to
focus on “basal experiential components
like craft beer and good company”.

he Almost Famous Craft
Beer Bar has a fresh take
on bar interiors. Rather
than the flashy lights and
colourful decor of traditional
watering holes, this place at
Chijmes sports a subdued
palette. A monochromatic
scheme with flush luminous
lighting and classical-style
columns, to be exact.
“We wanted a blank slate
- a state of emptiness – that
removes distraction and steers
the senses towards the food
and craft beer pairings,” says
the Almost Famous team.
To do this, they reimagined
modern bar culture by
stripping away unnecessary
chaos. They combined
geometric shapes through
their choice of furniture with
clean and slim profiles, and
created a palette made up of
raw-look finishes seen on the
weathered-wood tables and
the concrete-look walls.
