What happens when Van Gogh’s swirls meet a martini glass, or Frida Kahlo’s fire meets a bold tequila twist? You get Dubai’s latest date-night masterpiece — the Grand Atelier Masterclass at Ancora, InterContinental Residences Dubai Business Bay. And trust us, this isn’t your average “let’s grab a drink” plan. This is cocktails dressed up as world-famous paintings.
An Evening Where Art Gets Tipsy
Launching this August, the masterclass is designed for couples who want more than dinner and polite small talk. Think of it as a gallery opening, but instead of awkwardly nodding at brushstrokes, you’re sipping them. From the dreamy Starry Night Spritz inspired by Van Gogh to the golden embrace of The Kiss Martini à la Klimt, every cocktail is a canvas you can actually drink.
Other showstoppers? Monet’s Garden blooming with freshness, Frida’s Flame with its bold kick, Dali’s Dream for a surreal buzz, and even a zesty Matisse Muse that practically paints your tastebuds with citrus. Oh, and yes — you get to keep a mini framed artwork to take home. Because nothing says “we’re cultured” like hanging The Birth of Venus on your fridge.
Canal Views, Culture, and a Dash of FOMO
Set along the Dubai Canal, Ancora’s sleek setting makes this the perfect creative date night or a brag-worthy evening with your favorite plus one. It’s AED 549 for two, which is basically a steal considering you’re sipping fine art, snagging keepsakes, and enjoying skyline views that look like a painting themselves.
Just remember: slots are limited and reservations need 24-hours’ notice. Translation? Don’t wait until your date suggests “Netflix again?” — book early and claim your spot in Dubai’s most artistic happy hour.
