Khan Art Bar the brainchild of Haitham Sam Herzallah aims to host events, surrounding everything to do with Art and Culture! It’s an intellectual meeting point, but without all the pompous, Khan attracts people of all persuasions. The bar attracts artists, intellectuals, locals, tourists in a laid back atmosphere! Khan aims to amalgamate the concept of Night-life and Art into One. It’s a cross bet
ween a gallery and a bar! Throughout the week you can listen to ambient lounge music with a hint of jazz and blues whilst Sundays are set to host a live band playing Arabic Oldies! Also on the program is ‘Movie Tuesday’ where Khan will screen short movies, documentaries and independent films! Khan presents an unusual artistic line up of cocktails! You will find a cocktail named after the renowned French artist Yves Hayat; A mix of Vodka and apple sour with a hint of Cinnamon and the Mona Lisa Smile; a mix of Whisky, Orange, with a twist of Red Chilies. Also ‘Picasso’s Passion’ a mix of Gin and Gin marinated smoked Salmon. ‘The Andy’ cocktail in reference to Andy Warhol; it’s a mixture of Gin with fresh Cucumber…
The décor is casual and laid back…it exudes cool and instant comfort. Old bath tubs double as couches… weapon crates as tables… the furniture is mismatched yet feels harmonious. The stark grey concrete walls and floors are splattered with contemporary Art. Khan is highlighted with a strong long wooden Bar in a distressed turquoise green color... Warm recycled lamp shades hover above creating a warm and intimate atmosphere! Most of the décor has been recycled or up-cycled to reflect the bars philosophy! Khan will present a line-up of young talented artists, some still yet to be discovered! Every month a new artist will have the opportunity to exhibit at Khan. The purpose is to support and nurture the younger artists in our region at a grass roots level. Many artists don’t have the opportunity to exhibit in a gallery, so Khan will be the space for them. Khan opens all week from 5pm- 1:30am / Wi-Fi Available / Happy Hour from 5 to 8pm
