Reusing the fireplace, historical domed stain glass ceiling and a formerly unusable back space allowed us to create a bar that looks locked in time, intimate while spacious, like a speakeasy from the 1920's. A 65' foot long marble bar is the central hub of this popular drinking destination.
The design that reflects the restaurant's sustainability ethos; materials were carefully selected while back-of-house elements were based on energy efficiency.A nod to the ocean is reflected in various design elements, while a 30' long sushi bar allows diners to learn while they eat. Custom murals adorn two walls and layered rooms create new experiences for the diner.

Great bars breed comfort, familiarity, and personal rituals. At one, you always get the same boilermaker and tots, plug $5 worth of Beyonce into the jukebox, and curl up with some rainy-day reading. Others, you're there for the sublime sazerac, or maybe mead on tap. But there are some bars-dare we say really great ones-where the comfort delivery system is unpredictability.
