Text: Irina Malkova ACTOR ANTON TOBAKOV, MORE KNOWN AS SUCCESSFUL MOSCOW RESTAURANT, AT THE END OF APRIL, OPENED A NEW ALIBI NIGHT CLUB IN DUBAI. WE TALKED WITH ANTON ABOUT WHAT HE IS GOING TO SURPRISE THE TEMPORARY TEMPTED PUBLIC AND WHY AFTER THE DAY OF MOSCOW, HE DECIDED TO START A BUSINESS IN DUBAI.
Anton, so still - why Dubai?
The fact is that I always wanted to understand how this mega-project mechanism, which is being implemented in Dubai, actually works, and become part of that story, a completely unthinkable story that is happening right before our eyes. Because for me it is a mystery! When I see what projects are being implemented here, what is the rise here, I can only bow and admire. But for starters, I decided to open a small night club. Consider this my sample of pen.
Are you often here?
About four times a year. Whatever the case, somewhere around ten to twelve days we spend holidays with the children. Dubai is not far from Moscow, and there is everything to relax and have a good time.
So, Alibi. What awaits visitors to the new club?
Honestly, "Alibi" will be different from those institutions that are currently in Dubai. It’s boring and uninteresting for me to make an ordinary night club, so we will have many different innovations that, I hope, will appeal to visitors. By the way, one of the features will be the ability to dance absolutely everywhere.
Who would you like to see there - our compatriots?
No, you know, I think that on the contrary, in this case I would try to disown my compatriots - not because we will not let them go there, but because, unfortunately, today the level and level of what is in in the minds of our people - I now take the residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg - in places too lifted up. As planned, Alibi will become a democratic institution for young children, mainly Europeans, who live here permanently.
Do face control await visitors?
Without a doubt, he will. But I still need to get used to the local flavor, and, to be honest, I have not decided yet on what principle it will act.
What new was used in the interior?
I traveled a lot and, like Magellan, picked up ideas from one place to another - sometimes many things amazed me and surprised me in a good sense of the word. Therefore, everything I saw, I tried to bring to the interior of the club. For example, in one club I was struck by how the restaurant was served by waiters in white gloves with prestigious watches of the most famous brands. It was unobtrusive, but it caught my eye. These are the things I love. But in Dubai, you probably need to be crazy to try to surprise someone with the interior of the establishment. I didn’t have such a task. I will say this: "Alibi" - a good place with good music.
