Outside, faded brown vertical wood slats run the length of the green-trimmed building, the dive bar’s classic logo painted next to the space’s lone window. Sparse beer signage can be found around the exterior of the building, including a nautically-themed homage to PBR to the left of the dive bar’s front door. The weathered promise of the exterior is paid off nicely inside, where a sloping roof and long wooden slats create the optical effect of a low roof getting lower. Wood paneling is, of course, found throughout the dive bar’s interior, playing off the exposed beams and black painted ceiling to create classic dim dive bar ambiance.
A long bar runs the full length of the space, seating available on either side of the mostly central front door. Small booths can be found tucked away on one side of the seating area, most of it reserved for tall tables and padded stools packed in about as tightly as the space allows. Food and drinks are ordered from a central station, bar seating available on either side. Digital signage is found in spots throughout the space, all of it entertainingly constructed to spout the virtues of Bambi Bar interspersed with bits of dive bar wisdom.
As with any great dive bar, framed photos of regulars and family members from days gone by can be seen in spots along the walls, particularly along the short hallway to Bambi Bar’s bathrooms. Bar signage is present, of course, but not overwhelming, letting the walls breath more than the typical dive bar décor would allow. Vintage beer cans can be found in a shrine of sorts just off the front door, facing one of the booths attached to the front wall. Gaming machines can be found to the left of the bar for those pairing their drinking and eating with a little light gambling.
