About The Cocktail Bar
the Rival's The Art deco-inspired Cocktail Bar was built back in 1937. Over the years we have of course updated the interior design, bar counter and a lot more. But parts of the original décor remain and characterize the Cocktail Bar and give it its classic setting. A little heavier with dark red velvet sofas, mirror glass and silver pillars. This is classic bareground simply.


The cocktail bar's menu offers both classics and new, food and drinks. Great music flows out, guests stream to and from. The cocktail bar is a front row seat for everyone.
