Over the weekend I passed by the new VOL.1 thats opening up in Mayar Complex to get a sneak peek. I was curious to see how the place was turning out so I asked the owner if I could drop by and check it out. The new location is going to be located in Shuwaikh and is around 3 to 4 times the size of their current location in the city. The new space has a much larger circular bar and the same bench style seating surrounding the walls. The new location also has an second floor which will contain their offices as well as a small space where they’ll be holding classes or coffee cupping sessions. They’re expecting to open sometime next month but no specific date has been set yet.
The Mayar Complex where VOL.1 is located is surprisingly a pretty good looking space. I didn’t think it was going to turn out the way it did and I love the way they’ve used marble everywhere. I took a walk around it and a bunch of shops have already opened with a bunch of others opening soon. There is going to a gym there, two spinning studios, a bunch of fashion and accessories stores and a few restaurants. The only issue I have with the complex is there isn’t enough parking, but thats to be expected I guess. Here is the location on [Google Maps]

Looks nice but why in such a slum neighborhood!? Spoils the total experience!
It’s next to Tilal and Lilly Center so I wouldn’t consider it the slums
My office used to be in Lily Centre so I know the area very well and it is all slum and industrial underneath the surface. Just look at the horrible buildings immediately next to this Mayar Complex!
There is a new complex right across where the tiger tiger pop up was and right in front of it there is the new Alshaya food complex being built, so where exactly?
The area is evolving and changing.
Any idea whats the name of the marble they’re using? I’ve been looking for something similar for my office but couldn’t find it;/
Another mall/complex!!
