The Overlook Bar
The Overlook Bar
The Overlook Bar is a cinematic cocktail bar inspired by the uncanny elegance of classic hotel lounges.
I shaped the bar’s visual identity and social presence through creative direction, photography, videography, and brand storytelling, developing a distinctive world centered on mystery and subtle theatricality.
Through narrative driven content and audience engagement, social media performance increased by over 70%, expanding the bar’s visibility and online community.
The goal was simple: make The Overlook feel like a world you step into, not just a bar you visit.
