Ranked among the top 50 bars globally, Allegory lived up to its reputation as more than just a bar—it was truly an experience where art, literature, and craftsmanship collided.
Our guests were immediately captivated by the breathtaking murals by Erik Thor Sandberg, which reimagine elements of Alice in Wonderland through the powerful lens of Ruby Bridges’ story. The surreal atmosphere, combined with signature craft cocktails, created the perfect backdrop to celebrate our partnerships and innovations.
