This close-up captures the refined material palette driving the sports bar’s identity. The scheme blends handcrafted textures with honest, durable finishes—clarity of detail that elevates a casual venue into a more polished, contemporary destination.

The bar’s identity is shaped by an understated yet expressive palette. The clay tiles specified for the barfront bring a natural tonal variation that gives the counter real material presence, catching the light softly and adding depth without visual noise. Above, the stone bar top provides a crisp, durable surface with a quiet elegance that anchors the space.

Behind the counter, limestone-toned brick tiles introduce texture and architectural warmth, creating a cohesive backdrop for the illuminated bottle display. Integrated refrigeration is wrapped in a graphite-toned laminate, keeping the working elements visually calm and allowing the materials to lead.

The custom gantry overhead becomes the signature feature. Its arched black metal framework and rippled glass panels bring rhythm and a touch of nostalgia, diffusing light in a way that feels both practical and atmospheric—exactly the balance the venue requires.

Seating is intentionally simple: dark timber bar stools with softly upholstered tops that sit comfortably within the palette while signalling longevity and ease of use.

Altogether, the composition achieves a familiar pub sensibility elevated through thoughtful detailing, premium textures and a coherent, hospitality-focused material strategy.
