Imagine a bar where alcohol is not drunk, but inhaled. This is the unique experience offered by Alcoholic Architecture, a pop-up bar created by Bompas & Parr. Here, customers inhale alcohol in vapor form, a method that intoxicates them more quickly than traditional alcoholic beverages.
Saturated atmosphere
Inside this bar, the air is saturated with 140% humidity, allowing alcohol droplets to float in a thick mist. An hour spent in this atmosphere is equivalent to consuming a very strong drink. This rapid and efficient absorption method, however, requires careful management to avoid any danger.

Unique setting
Located in a Victorian building next to a cathedral, Alcoholic Architecture offers a unique ambiance, blending Miami neon lights with the atmosphere of a monastery. Customers don a plastic poncho before entering a misting chamber, where they can breathe deeply and soak in the smoky flavor of incense-infused gin.
When alcohol is inhaled rather than drunk
Bompas & Parr, famous for their extravagant culinary creations, collaborated with scientists for six years to perfect this sensory experience. Their goal was to create total immersion, where each breath transports customers to a world of new flavors and sensations.
Eager anticipation
Currently closed while awaiting a new location, Alcoholic Architecture leaves its fans in anticipation. This temporary closure only heightens the impatience of hedonistic experience enthusiasts, who eagerly await the reopening of this innovative bar.
