Reflecting the historical significance of the site, the modern reinvention stands respectfully in contrast to the historic Schlitz tavern, enhancing the iconic Schubas Tavern music venue while establishing a rich identity for the new Tied House restaurant.
The design incorporates traditional tavern materials — brick patterning, mosaic tile and wood flooring, copper accents, a custom ceiling tile, and period-inspired lighting — transforming them in a modern, contextual way.
The feature brick facade takes its design cues from the historic facade of Schubas Tavern using the brick patterning as a backlit screen.
Whether within the space looking towards the neighborhood, or from the outside looking in, diners, visitors, and passersby can experience materials true to an original Tied House structure.
