Bars & Lounges
From chic Martinis to the laid-back poolside Waves Bar, there's a perfect enclave on board Allura for every mood. Visit the elegant Grand Lounge for a pre-dinner cocktail, catch a headline act in the Lounge or watch the sun set in Horizons accompanied by a glass of wine and lively music. New and innovative cocktail experiences await at Martinis, the Casino Mixology Bar and beyond. As you explore the world, these bars and lounges are the place to unwind, gather together, laugh and take in one-of-a-kind shows and musical performances.
MARTINIS
The lounge known as Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail — although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. In fact, Martinis is refreshing its namesake cocktail with fresh new spirits selection, Mermaid gin and vodka. The bar is a glamorous destination that welcomes you to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass under a canopy of crystal. You’ll also be able to choose from a tantalizing new collection of drinks called Hollywood Martinis, in addition to the already popular selection shaken tableside. The Hollywood collection includes a variety of drinks inspired by the Old Hollywood, such as Bardot Martini, The Corleone Martini, Sir Connery Martini, Blue Eyes Sinatra and Monroe Martini. Simply gather with friends in your favorite alcove and let the memories be made.
FOUNDERS BAR
Founders Bar, perhaps the most exclusive venue on Allura, is the chic hotspot where one goes to be noticed. Where else could you order readymade Negronis that come straight from a wooden barrel, imparting an oaky undertone that whispers of old world secrets? Vapor-filled bubbles with aromatic flavors are infused in cocktails, bringing a unique twist to both classic and contemporary concoctions. Aged bourbons with hints of caramel and vanilla and grassy, spicy ryes have been hand-selected from the most distinguished distilleries. Or settle into a snug armchair and watch your cocktail of choice prepared tableside. At Founders Bar, anything is possible.
GRAND LOUNGE
Allura's provocative Grand Lounge plays with shape and form to create visual elements that are striking even as they are understated. The color palette is an ode to metals and minerals with shades of bronze, onyx and alabaster lending both balance and interest. The resulting space evokes exclusivity — the feel of a luxurious private club — inviting guests to relax and enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap before retiring as they relive the day’s adventures with fellow explorers.
Allura Lounge
Our entertainment architects have engineered a space with the best possible acoustics and visual lines to provide a home worthy of the engaging talent that you will witness in the Allura Lounge. During the daytime, experts in their fields — from diplomats to chefs to historians — enlighten you with enrichment programs that provide insight into the regions you are exploring. After the sun sets, the Allura Lounge presents a new line-up of entertainment to enthrall the audience, including sophisticated cabarets, world-class musicians, dynamic vocalists and exclusive headliners.
Horizons
The most distinctive feature of aptly named Horizons is the lounge’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering 180 degrees of stunning views that hint at the adventures to come. This space celebrates the essence of Allura by showcasing the magical call of that which lies beyond the horizon.
To ensure that you can fully appreciate these tantalizing panoramas with a relaxed familiarity, Horizons is appointed with comfortable residential furnishings in soothing tones that create a sense of home, even as the view assures you that you are far from it. Dance the night away to the sounds of a lively musical group and toast to the adventures ahead.
WAVES BAR
Located in a shaded area just steps from the swimming pool, Waves Bar offers a wide variety of libations to enhance your poolside experience. Revel in the perfect afternoon on deck with your favorite cocktail, glass of wine or chilled beer. Come happy hour, signature cocktails and frosty beverages create a delightfully carefree segue to the lively evening ahead as the sun sets.
Casino
