The place was arranged in a vaulted brick space, adjacent to the production rooms. The focal point of the establishment is a column lined with maroon, handmade ceramic tiles, with fourteen taps, each of which can independently be used to pour beer, spirits or vodka. A special place in the space of the premises is occupied by distillation devices located behind the glass separation: alembics and backs, which are an additional attraction of the place. Most of the contemporary decor elements, added to the raw space, were manufactured in collaboration with artisans.

Contemporary decor elements have been inserted into the existing austere space, left almost unchanged. The base for all is a solid oak floor, transitioning onto the walls in the form of oak benches and furniture. In the brick arcades, mirrors and steel shelves were added to enlarge the space and illuminate the premises. The whole composition is complemented by clay, handmade lamps hanging low above the tables, enhancing the intimate atmosphere of the place. In the entrance hall, an installation of several hundred plates has been placed. Each plate made of copper, with engraved names of people who contributed to the creation of the premises in the form of a crowdfunding collection. The work of the artist Oskar Dawicki “Gloria Amore Victis” has been exhibited next to the entrance hall.

Individual elements of the interior were made by:

- Metalwork by Tomasz Bartyzel with his team

- Solid oak furniture by Artur Czajka
- Windows and doors by Grzegorz Drejka
- Ceramic tiles of the central multitap were created in the Ardea Arte manufacture
