Cozy, tucked away, the one regulars keep to themselves.
Alali
Alali is a full creative studio in the heart of Victoria Island, and one of Sip and Paint . NG’s home venues.
Screeded white walls, large modern African-style paintings, and light that shifts from bright white through the day to warm lamplight by evening.
It’s also home to Alali Gallery, Silent Book Club VI, and Chess Hour, so there’s always something happening beyond the easel.
Open every day, 8am to 10pm. Guests paint on canvas, tote bags, mats, and platters, or work with candle making, pottery, hand casting, and selfie portraiture.
Alali comfortably hosts everything from a solo evening to a full private celebration, bridal showers, birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and team bonding all happen here
