Written By Laiba Arif

There are nights that make the story of their own. When you enter Flashback Speakeasy, you do not just enter it, but sneak through an unidentified door into a setting where every light, sound and taste is designed. The place is saturated with the philosophy of designed minimalism, inspired by the underground essence of the 1920s prohibition era and transformed into a small social scene. Instead of a big show, the ambience here is one of a stratified atmosphere, where jazz, talking and cocktails are the ingredients of an evening that is all about depth. It is where a story and nostalgia mix in every niche, and where the design encourages the guest to live a moment. Each time one steps into Flashback, it is like walking into a secret book, a very uncommon and valuable break in the Dubai nightlife atmosphere.

Hiding in the beautiful corridors of Paramount Hotel Dubai, Flashback seems like it is hidden on purpose - some kind of secret that should be discovered. The lounge helps guests understand that the exclusivity is not about splendor but discretion.




Flashback Speakeasy Review


AMBIENCE

Here, the mood feels bespoke. The atmosphere in Flashback is not loud but expressive, created on the basis of a well-considered mix of sound, space and light. Music in this case is not just played; it is part of the fabric of the evening, and sometimes it flows smoothly from smooth jazz and Motown to intimate acoustic pieces that never overwhelm the conversation. Even the transition between the day and the night is smooth, with the changes in the lighting and the intensification of the shadows to reflect the plot development of the night. Each element, including the comfortable leather sofas and low, dim lamps, is positioned as a way of fostering warmth and contemplation. Soft electronic echoes are placed next to vinyl tones, which adds to the modern but antique ambience of the location. This arrangement of the sight and the sound is why Flashback feels more like a bar and less of an evocative storytelling environment.

Flashback Speakeasy Food 


FOOD

Taste is more than an accompaniment to the story. The food menu of Flashback is carefully designed to suit the lounge ambiance. Signature mini burgers arrive stacked neatly with glossy buns, melted cheese, crisp lettuce and well-seasoned patties, sized intentionally for elegant bites rather than excess. Tacos appear as a recurring highlight, presented warm and softly folded, filled with spiced proteins and finished with fresh herbs that add brightness without overpowering the base flavours. Crisp bar snacks such as spring rolls are plated with precision, offering contrast in texture through crackling wrappers and carefully balanced fillings. Even accompaniments like tortilla chips are elevated through house-style dips that include creamy avocado blends, fresh tomato salsa and gently pickled peppers, creating depth without heaviness.

Flashback Speakeasy Menu


The Flashback menu is built on the belief that speakeasy dining should feel indulgent yet effortless. Every dish is designed to complement the rhythm of the evening, offering comfort, texture, and flavor without demanding formality. Bar favorites such as crispy hot wings arrive coated in a mild spicy sauce, striking a careful balance between heat and familiarity, making them ideal companions to long drinks and late conversations. Chicken gyoza are pan-fried to achieve a golden exterior, filled with succulent chicken and served alongside a savory soy-based sauce that adds depth without overpowering the palate. Seafood finds its place through crisp tiger prawns, prepared in a light tempura batter and paired with zesty spiced mayonnaise, fresh chives, and toasted sesame seeds for contrast and aroma.




Flashback Speakeasy Drinks


DRINKS

In Flashback, all beverages evoke a feeling of a story and are composed of a chapter from another decade. The cocktail menu is heavily informed by the glamour and intimacy of the 1920s. Golden Gatsby introduces the experience in a very warm and bright manner. It blends the notes of American malt style with passion fruit purée, spiced agave syrup, and fresh lemon juice to form a drink that would feel rich yet vivid. Berry Boudoir is veering towards mystery in its taste, combining amaretto-style tastes with blackberry syrup and lime juice. Scarlet Boulevard also offers a stark contrast, with aperitivo-style bitterness and grapefruit to provide a fresh and crisp beverage. Botanical Bliss has a lighter expression made out of botanical forward and tonic water, which brings clarity, freshness and elegance in every sip. Throughout the menu, the philosophy is similar: every drink is balanced, composed, and meant to be enjoyed gradually.
