The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. Out front, the astro turfed parklet is a popular spot for patrons and their pooches. Inside, leather booths, Bentwood chairs, hanging greenery and soft lighting create one of the west's most inviting interiors. With the front windows open to the breeze, the space transforms into a light-filled haven perfect for every season. The layout is both functional and efficient: The bar runs along the right-hand side, leading to a compact, fully equipped commercial kitchen. To the rear are toilets, storage areas, and a walk-in cool room.
