Ten years of finishing one room properly.
A commercial-scale bar, finished the long way: millwork, mirrors, chandeliers and all.
Thirty-eight feet of bar: granite over mahogany cabinetry, carved Corinthian columns framing the back bar, and glass shelving lit from behind. Every piece of it specified and finished to the highest grade available — no shortcuts anywhere in the room.
Four taps are ready at all times, turned over with the season, with refrigeration under the counter so the first pour of the night is as good as the fortieth. Lines get cleaned. It matters more than the beer.
A pressed-copper ceiling, crystal chandeliers on dimmers, and lighting warm enough that nobody looks tired at eleven.
Etched into the mirror behind the bottles: Rex, Long, Miller, East and West Reservoir, North Reservoir, Turkeyfoot. Guests find their own dock in it every single time. Open the map.
