It will be open up for satisfied hour, supper (Tues-Sat) and brunch (Sat-Sunshine) services. The menu will attribute modern cuisine inspired by the culinary scene of the early 1960s, for each the push release. We never have specifics about the the menu or opening day yet, while (staffing dependent) it could be as early as November.

The 1960s period element into style and design features like the brand and the interior style and design.
