A brief that works
Paste it as is, or use it as a starting point and describe your own room.“Speakeasy cocktail bar, midnight navy with brass accents, geometric art deco frame, each cocktail with a one-line description and base spirit, wines by the glass on the inside right, A5 bifold.”
Small format, big presence
Bar menus are held in low light, one hand, often standing. Menu Atelier favours A5 bifolds with large type, high contrast and generous margins so the list reads at a candle-lit table.
A story per drink
Paste 'Name – spirit – notes' and the AI sets three typographic levels: the drink in caps, the spirit in small caps, the notes in italics. Ask for a brass rule between drinks and the deco frame completes the mood.
The 3D model doubles as content
The paid bundle includes the menu as a GLB 3D model. Drop it on your website or in an Instagram story: a slowly turning menu is a small piece of brand that many bars love.
Tips for this venue
- ✦ Upload your logo in SVG for the sharpest foil-like brass rendering.
- ✦ Ask for 'no prices on the cover' if you want a cleaner front face.
- ✦ Group by base spirit or by mood ('Bright', 'Bitter', 'After dinner') and the design mirrors the grouping.
- ✦ Print in small runs of 15 to 25; bar menus wear fast and reprints are quick.
Common questions
Yes. Tell the AI where prices should appear; the cover and back can stay purely visual.
A5 bifold is the classic. A single A5 card works for a short list of signatures.
The design uses a rich brass tone that prints well in CMYK. For real metallic foil, give the PDF to your printer and ask for a foil layer on the brass elements.
