Retro Cocktails & Dreams Bar Lightbox Sign

Bring a piece of classic movie bar nostalgia to your wall.

This fully 3D printed, two-sided hanging lightbox is inspired by the iconic “Cocktails & Dreams” bar sign from the film Cocktail. Designed with a glowing neon-style look, it captures the feel of late-night cocktail lounges, beach bars, and classic 80s movie bar culture.

Whether you're building out a home bar, basement bar, garage lounge, or entertainment space, this sign adds the perfect retro atmosphere.

This model is fully 3D printable and designed for easy assembly and clean wiring.

Features:

• 224 mm diameter
• 50 mm total thickness
• Double-sided design (visible from both directions)
• Includes wall-mount brackets
• Hollow bracket arms for hidden LED wire routing
• Designed for LED strip lighting
• Clean, even light diffusion

Installation:

• The included mounting brackets are hollow, allowing you to run your LED wiring directly through the arm for a clean, professional install — no exposed wires hanging down the wall.
• Super easy to install by using the hole jig found on plate 4.
• Just use the jig to mark your holes. 
• Mount the brackets using drywall screws or similar with the wiring tunnel facing up for top bracket and down for bottom bracket. (I found it easier to put my wire through before tightening the screws against the wall)
• Then slide the lightbox frame onto the mounts and push till it clicks into place. 
• Next, just remove the adhesive backing strip and route your lights around the inside of the frame as many times as you would like. 
• The design is intended to be used with your own LED light kit. The example shown was lit using a Cobb 5v wired strip like found above.

Printing Notes

• Printed in PLA for the example shown
• PETG or ABS will work as well if you prefer added durability.

Whether you’re lighting up your garage, bar, shop, or whiskey wall — this piece brings that old-school Americana glow.
