In fact the decor seemed all over the place. There are the exposed brick walls, but then there are murals painted in Caribbean style colors- there's a wall upstairs that's all pink swirls. They did a few cool things like use golf clubs and skis as railings, but again- no unified design. Honestly, it struck me as sort of frat-housy, though I haven't been in a frat house in decades, so that may not be fair.

Anyway, I'm curious what other people think. I always loved that building and felt a little let down, especially since it's been closed for so long.

We haven’t been to the new one yet but as for the original one in Tilton, I did ln’t care for the “decor” either. Bright fluorescent lights no “sound baffling” materials, just stark, and loud. Not MY cup of beer…!😊
