Croqui

Croqui feels less like a finished statement than a place where ideas are constantly taking shape, which is exactly the point. In Alcântara, Constança Cordeiro’s bar doubles as a production and development space for drinks, ingredients, and larger projects, giving it a more exploratory character than a conventional cocktail room. The name itself means sketch, and that sense of process seems to define the place. Even so, Croqui is not just a laboratory disguised as a bar. It still comes across as relaxed and public facing, with enough ease to make its more experimental side feel engaging rather than distant.
