Cybar is an autonomous cocktail bar that utilizes the latest in technology to offer a unique experience. Using artificial intelligence and autonomous robots, guests enjoy a retro futuristic themed night out as Cybar’s automated technology manages queues, serves drinks, and handles payments. The objective of this project was to brand the bar and create digital interfaces that make the experience almost effortless.

With the goal of creating a bar powered by artificial intelligence and robots, I knew that I didn’t want to go for a traditional, pub-like bar feel with the branding. I experimented with three different concepts. One being a retro/futurist/cyberpunk look, one that focused on the idea of lines and connections being made, and a the last - a very experimental, chaotic design. Ultimately, I decided to push the theme of destructive looking robots, ironically, as a way to communicate the idea of technology and AI, while keeping the bar’s brand fun and amusing. It was for this reason that I ended up with a retro/futurist theme for the project, which I felt was unique.
