Wine, cocktails, comfort food, and arguably the best terrace in Creek Harbour.

1. Design ergonomic bar layouts across wine and cocktail zones

2. Build a standout beverage program for the middle-premium segment

3. Create a cocktail menu with double impact: commercially smart and visually striking

5. Source and train a top-tier bar team to bring it all to life

4. Curate a wine list worthy of Europe’s best, with broad by-the-glass choice made to suit every guest

GOALS

Concept & Philosophy

One dish, plenty of plates. The steak’s yours, the salad’s hers, he’s brought the Riesling — and before you know it, dinner’s a full-blown group effort. That’s the Fuoco formula: sharp service, good instincts, and just enough looseness to keep things interesting. Less fine dining, more fine timing.

Fuoco is a lively, unpretentious concept where warmth, rhythm and a bit of southern charm come together. Liquid Design shaped the entire beverage experience — from custom cocktails to a wine list worth sharing — and built a visual identity that moves with the mood.

Ergonomics and equipment

Custom-designed by Liquid Design’s cocktail creator Andrey Bolshakov, the station splits cleanly into cocktail and wine zones. The layout supports prep, speed and seamless guest service. It was fabricated locally in Dubai to ensure hands-on quality control and reduce logistical waste. Every element was checked and refined on-site, resulting in a high-performance, high-efficiency station that’s built to keep pace.

Bar station

There are seven signature cocktail, each with its own flavour and feel. Alongside them is a modular cocktail game that lets guests build their own mix from a set of curated ingredients. It’s intuitive, ever-changing, and built to keep people coming back.

The classics never left. We just make them the way they’re meant to be.

Cocktails

Wine

By the glass, by the mood, at the right price. With 52 bottles and 12 wines by the glass, this isn’t an afterthought. The selection leans European in spirit but moves with Dubai’s rhythm. It’s versatile, expressive and designed to fit real life. Organised by mood rather than region, the list lets guests choose intuitively. From light reds and crisp whites to special pours, the selection shifts and glows like a dance of flames.

Fuoco’s cocktail list moves with the mood. Some drinks are bold, some stay light, and some are built from scratch at the table. It’s all about how the night feels and what you feel like drinking.

The motivation system was custom-built: from pay calculators to SOPs to daily shift rituals

The team continues to shape the brand from within — content, culture, and guest experience

Ahead of opening, we went deeper: team bonding and in-service rehearsals locked in rhythm and rapport

The team were trained in premium service, storytelling, and progressive mixology

We sourced the bar manager and built the full team from scratch. Then we trained them to serve with pace, poise and personality.

Luxury service, storytelling and next-gen mixology were just the start. We added etiquette workshops, bonding rituals and in-service rehearsals to lock in rhythm. A custom motivation system supports every shift — from pay structure to SOPs.

Today, the team continues to shape Fuoco from within. They contribute to content, shape guest culture and help the brand grow in real time.
