Edge Design Studio was engaged to completely refurbish this iconic, heritage-listed pub purchased by the Good Beer Company. The sprawling pub, set over two levels consists of public and lounge bars, courtyards, gaming rooms and a 120 seat restaurant on the top floor called Duke’s Bistro. A New Orleans-inspired theme carries across the two floors, showcasing a French-colonial interior and food concept. The pub’s Art Deco origins meant that there were many rooms, each one taking on a different feel with brightly coloured walls and a quirky mix of taxidermy, cane furniture, pots plants and travelled palms, art and found objects creating a completely different experience in each space. A two story hand-painted mural is featured in the stairwell of the hotel.
