4SPACE Design

Located within the iconic TAJ Hotel in Jumeirah Lake Towers, TJ’s redefines the traditional pub experience with elevated simplicity and refined comfort. Conceived and designed by 4SPACE, TJ’s departs from the dim and heavy ambiance of the classic pub, offering instead a contemporary, light-filled social hub that blends charm, flexibility, and a cosmopolitan aesthetic reflective of Dubai’s evolving spirit.
TJ’s is bright, open, and effortlessly stylish — a curated blend of masculine and feminine elements, structured forms and relaxed finishes.

The interiors are anchored by a bold emerald ceiling that draws the eye upward, while creamy fluted wall panels and geometric black-and-white floor tiles ground the space with texture and rhythm. A palette of natural wood, brushed brass, and soft greenery ensures a balanced atmosphere that adapts seamlessly from daytime brunches to atmospheric evening cocktails.

At the center of TJ’s is a sculptural bar, both a functional hub and a visual statement. Clad in warm fluted wood and crowned with softly backlit arches, it showcases a curated collection of spirits. Floating shelves draped in cascading greenery and suspended glassware add an organic softness and theatrical flair, making the bar not just a service point, but an experience.

Furniture: Clean Nordic lines meet mid-century curves with plush, upholstered seating and rattan accents.

Materials: Green marble tabletops, brass fixtures, and vertical planters introduce subtle luxury and biophilic identity.

Lighting: Layered illumination — from architectural ambient lighting to glowing pendants — allows the mood to shift effortlessly between vibrant and intimate.

TJ’s is crafted for every moment: from casual business lunches and co-working meetups to lively evening gatherings. A thoughtful layout of cozy booths, café tables, and communal benches encourages diverse interactions without compromising comfort or privacy.

Extending the interior’s material language, the outdoor terrace offers a landscaped escape with panoramic views of the Dubai Marina skyline. Wooden decking, plush wrap-around seating, and minimalist gold-lit tables create a setting that feels both cinematic and relaxed — ideal for al fresco evenings under the stars.

TJ’s isn’t just a pub — it’s a versatile, design-forward destination where form and function harmonize. Whether for a quick drink, a lingering dinner, or a spontaneous social encounter, TJ’s invites guests to experience a modern ritual of hospitality that feels familiar yet delightfully unexpected.
