The restaurant is located in the last-century Moscow mansion. Entrance to the building is decorated in a non-standard way: black color highlights the window instead of the door and the sign. This method helps to draw a passer-by attention.
The interior combines classic loft and laconic Nordic styles: vintage brick walls, light wood tables and black metal details are used. The place may seem rather strict but cozy at the same time. These untypical solutions help to create such an effect. For example, the restaurant does not have a traditional bar counter. Instead, the barmen works at a table in the restaurant common space, as if he is working in the kitchen at home. The barmen is closer to the guests than usual and almost becomes a part of the room, which creates a special atmosphere. Moreover, many tables in the common area have a conjoint seating so that the guests interact more with each other.
The main materials used in this project are: wood, iron, concrete and bricks; the main colors: white, black and light wood. Welded pipes rack is one of the main décor elements. Beer and wine bottles are stored here. The same pipes are used for making the signs on the walls. Another interior accent is presented by infographics on the technology of beer-making on the brick walls of the bar.
