Flying Elephant – Mystical Mixology Cocktail Bar in Dubai is a hidden gem nestled within Novotel Dubai Al Barsha. Inspired by the secretive charm of Bombay’s legendary aunty bars, this distinctive speakeasy-style lounge fuses mystery, theatre, and bold Indian influences, creating a nightlife destination unlike any other in the city.
Step beyond the ordinary and discover a bar where every detail is designed to surprise and delight. At the core of Flying Elephant is its signature concept—Mystical Mixology. This innovative approach to cocktail creation takes classic recipes and transforms them with Indian ingredients, flavours, and stories. From tamarind and jaggery to kokum and aromatic spices, each element is carefully chosen to evoke a sense of nostalgia while offering a fresh twist. Whether you’re indulging in a bold Old-Fashioned Delhi, a tangy Margarita with a kick, or a smoky Spiced Paloma, each drink offers a journey through taste, culture, and creativity.
The ambiance is as carefully curated as the cocktails. Flying Elephant is both intimate and electric, with vintage décor, low lighting, and handpicked sounds that evolve from chilled lounge beats to upbeat live music performances. It’s the perfect setting for after-work gatherings, spontaneous nights out, or memorable weekend celebrations.
Conveniently located just minutes from Mall of the Emirates, Flying Elephant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique cocktail bar experience in Dubai. Guests can pair their handcrafted drinks with flavour-forward small plates, and explore a weekly calendar of immersive events—from Bollywood Lounge Nights every Monday to the high-energy Elephant in the Room Mystical Brunch every Saturday afternoon.
Whether you’re a Dubai local, an adventurous tourist, or a guest at Novotel, Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology invites you to enter a world where the ordinary disappears and the extraordinary takes centre stage. Come for the cocktails. Stay for the stories.
