CONCEPT:

KYIV FOOD MARKET is a gastronomic hub located in a former 18th-century arsenal, where industrial architecture meets the vibrant energy of European food halls. With over 20 restaurants, authentic materials, and preserved traces of history, it creates the feeling of a place that’s familiar and lived-in for years. Not just a food court, but a new social code of Kyiv.

BAR EXPERIENCE:

At KYIV FOOD MARKET, we created a complete bar ecosystem designed to handle a food hall with over 10,000 visitors per day. The central bar, with its curved countertop, hosts dozens of guests while ensuring seamless teamwork between bartenders, cashiers, and barbacks. Key features: three cocktail stations, a unique refrigerated drawer module, and a dedicated barback zone for fast and efficient service.
