BOMBA COCKTAIL LOUNGE
BRINGING NIGHTLIFE BACK TO MEATPACKING DISTRICT
CREATIVE DIRECTION / BRANDING / GRAPHIC DESIGN
Once a thriving neighborhood, New York City’s historical Meatpacking District has been relegated to a tourist trap with jaded crowds simply passing by to see the High Line. Bomba aims to bring local night life back to the neighborhood, offering adventurous craft cocktails, late-night guilty pleasures, live DJ performances, and an fun care-free attitude. Bomba represents a revitalization of the historical district, offering a quality but unpretentious experience, a clear shift from the stuffy boutique stores in the surrounding area.
I worked with the Bomba team as the creative lead, creating the visual identity and branding, and collaborating with the construction team to design the interiors and signage. The visual system carries an elevated but lighthearted attitude, led by the iconic Bomba sign

TAKEAWAYS
Bomba was an incredible privilege to not only brand and design a cocktail lounge and night club, but also provide creative direction for the interiors and food & beverage program, all tied to the idea of unpretentious fun and bringing nightlife back to Meatpacking District. The vision for Bomba is a safe space for locals to let loose with a little unapologetic fun, and hopefully one that sparks an interest in the neighborhood for similar experiences and activities.
Bomba launched in September 2024, and continues to offer adventurous cocktails, highlight local DJ talent, and provide a space for locals to dance the night away. See you after hours…
