How is it an ultralounge and a gastropub at the same time?
I guess it’s a gastrolounge. I don’t like the word “gastropub” because it’s very barlike. There’s a small bar here. It’s almost all couches, tables. It really is a mix of ottomans, found objects, table lamps. It’s not your typical sit-down restaurant with tablecloths and silverware. All food is brought to the table in this dinner box, kind of like a bento box. The tables aren’t your typical club height; they’re higher and taller and wider, so there’s room to put some food on the table as well as drinks. Will people want a D.J. and fancy lights while they eat? The music and the lighting is very dim, it’s very mellow, and then depending on the crowd, at midnight or later, we can raise the volume and change the lighting. Then there’s a second floor, which is a straight lounge. There’s fifteen tables in one room, and then on the second floor there’s six big tables that overlook it. [The music] is gonna be really lounge-y, eighties, soul, seventies. Did you want a cabaret license? No, I hon
