SMUG Burger Bar — Dostyk Plaza

The design of SMUG Burger Bar in Dostyk Plaza continues the brand’s bold and ironic visual language, combining industrial aesthetics with street art and a touch of humor


The interior celebrates contrasts — raw concrete, exposed pipes, and textured wood meet colorful murals, mid-century furniture, and warm lighting. Each detail is intentional: from the copper ducts and custom wood tables to the vibrant wall art and playful accents that bring character to the space

A mix of earthy materials and graphic color statements defines the restaurant’s identity. The hand-painted murals, vintage-inspired seating, and art objects — like the reinterpreted classical busts and ironic wall pieces — create a visual dialogue between modern urban culture and nostalgic craftsmanship.

Designed as a casual yet expressive dining space, SMUG Burger Bar captures the energy of the city — dynamic, youthful, and a little rebellious — while keeping the atmosphere warm and inviting
