FUN FACT! the centerpiece of the lobby is a back bar sourced through our friends at Salvage One, who acquired it from Fizz Bar & Grill, formerly on Lincoln Avenue. The front bar was designed to complement its vintage character, and zinc countertops were added to give both bars a unified, period feel.
