Hendricks Bar at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach is launching an exciting new event series called "Prohibition Nights." Every Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 pm, guests can immerse themselves in the captivating ambiance of the 1920s Prohibition era, complete with live jazz and bespoke cocktails.
From June 5, 2024, Hendricks Bar transforms into a nostalgic retreat, reminiscent of the clandestine speakeasies of the Prohibition era. The dimly lit halls and secretive corners set the stage for a night filled with intrigue and excitement. The atmosphere is rich with sophistication, and every detail whispers of secret rendezvous and forbidden pleasures.
Adding to the charm, the live jazz duo Salt N Pepper will perform throughout the evening. Their soulful melodies and dulcet rhythms transport guests back to the Roaring Twenties, creating an ambiance that is both sophisticated and enchanting.
Bespoke Cocktails by Erion Bardhoci
Bar Manager Erion Bardhoci, a semi-finalist in the World Class UAE & Oman 2024 Competition, has crafted three unique cocktails exclusively for Prohibition Nights. Each drink is a masterpiece of mixology, designed to tease the taste buds and delight the senses.
In Our Time: A sophisticated twist on the classic New York Sour, this cocktail features salted caramel bourbon, clarified lemon juice, and a spiced red wine float. It offers a luxurious blend of sweet, citrus, and spiced flavors.
Movement: This innovative take on the classic Manhattan combines coffee rye whiskey with crème de cacao and port. The result is a beautiful balance of bitter, sweet, and spicy elements.
Golden Mirror: Elevating the classic Boulevardier, this drink mixes gin, tequila, Campari, Aperol, and port wine with clarified milk for a velvety texture. It's visually stunning and uniquely satisfying.
Prohibition Nights at Hendricks Bar is more than just an evening out; it's an experience that captures the essence of a bygone era. Guests are transported to a world of mystery and glamour, where the sounds of live jazz and the enticing aromas of crafted cocktails fill the air. It's a sleek celebration of history, timeless charm, and forbidden indulgence.

SOCIAL, India’s favourite neighbourhood café-bar, is raising a toast with the launch of The Big Drop – Peena Edition, a bold new drinks menu celebrating 11 years of community, creativity, and cocktails. Designed to match every table, mood, and adda, the Peena Edition reimagines India’s evolving drinking culture with a mix of nostalgia, playfulness, and accessibility.
From timeless classics that ease into afternoon conversations to innovative formats and shareable pitchers that fuel evening catch-ups, the new menu ensures something for every kind of guest. Inspired by India’s everyday social spaces, from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops, the menu blends old-school familiarity with SOCIAL’s unmistakable modern twist.
SOCIAL’s iconic creations such as the Longest Long Island Iced Tea (LLIIT) and Banarasi Patiala have long been crowd favourites. The Peena Edition carries that legacy forward with new-age icons like the Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) and the quirky SOCIAL Lubes range, including SOCIAL Emotions, Lifaafa, and Candy Crush drinks that are as photogenic as they are flavourful.
Innovation extends beyond the ingredients to the experience itself. Cocktails wrapped like candy, test-tube shots, and towering coffee jars make every serve interactive and shareable. Starting at just ₹395, the Peena Edition stays true to SOCIAL’s belief that great cocktails should be both creative and approachable.
OG: Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) – 750ml of coffee-spiked indulgence.
SOCIAL Lubes: Playful formats that bottle moods – SOCIAL Emotions (Zen AF, Weird Flex, Delulu, Aura), Lifaafa (served in a post-office pouch), and Candy Crush (a candy-wrapped cocktail).
Sangria Pitchers: Shareable and bold – variants like Cosmo Berry, Tropical Twist, House Spice, Java, Rita.
Squad Shots & Liqueurs: High-energy serves such as SOCIAL Kami Krazy test-tube shots and the explosive SOCIAL Bomb.
The Classics: SOCIAL’s twist on favourites including Espresso Martini, Negroni, Daiquiri, Paloma, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned.
Speaking about the launch, Riyaaz Amlani, Founder & Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, "The Peena Edition of the Big Drop menu is special because it speaks the language of the people. India’s drinking culture has always been about community — from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops — and we’ve brought that spirit into a menu built for today. Innovation was needed because people don’t just come to us for what’s in the glass, but for how it makes them feel. The Big Drop captures that spirit in full.”
The Peena Edition complements SOCIAL’s Big Drop Khaana menu, together offering a seamless food-and-drink experience that celebrates how India eats, drinks, and connects today.
