Tower Bar

Tower Bar was envisioned as more than just a bar—it was to become a destination that captured the essence of Tijuana’s golden aviation days while offering a modern, elevated experience. The challenge was to design a brand identity that honored this rich history without feeling outdated, blending nostalgia with contemporary appeal. Every detail, from the ambiance to the messaging, needed to evoke sophistication and charm while resonating with a diverse, discerning audience.

 

We began by immersing ourselves in the story of Tijuana’s aviation era, uncovering the unique elements that shaped the city during that time. Collaborating closely with the Tower Bar team, we crafted a brand narrative that bridged the past and present, translating this vision into a cohesive identity. This included developing a visual language inspired by vintage aeronautical details, curating an elegant yet approachable tone of voice, and designing touchpoints that would elevate every aspect of the guest experience. From branding to launch strategy, our work ensured Tower Bar’s brand would feel as timeless as its inspiration.

Tower Bar is a space where time slows down and the night takes on a new rhythm. Located in the Grand Tijuana Hotel, it’s a place to enjoy live jazz, expertly crafted cocktails, and an atmosphere designed for conversation and connection. With warm lighting, leather seating, and intricate details, Tower Bar blends nostalgia with a modern sensibility, creating an experience that feels both grounded and elevated.

We designed Tower Bar into more than a bar—we designed a narrative.

To bring Tower Bar’s aviation-inspired identity to life, we created a custom 3D video that reimagined the charm of old train and airport departure boards. The tactile, nostalgic movement of the board was paired with sleek typography and a polished metallic finish, seamlessly blending heritage with modernity. This dynamic visual became the centerpiece of the bar’s digital storytelling, sparking intrigue and setting the tone for Tower Bar’s distinctive character.

More than a bar, more than a brand—Tower Bar is a place where storytelling is woven into every detail.
