Ascending to the first floor, patrons encounter a sensory feast. The central marble and tile-clad bar counter takes centre stage, adorned with an enchanting mix of patterns and textures.
The ceiling divides the expanse into four sections with step-in vaults. Each housing Victorian chandeliers, creating an ambiance of refined elegance.
