Inside, the atmosphere only improves, bathed in the glow of stained glass and ringed by relief sculptures on seemingly every vertical surface. The space is divided into a drinking area classy enough to be referred to as a lounge, a front room with low table seating and a dining area separated by a series of arches adorned with friars, underneath friars, probably carved by friars and named after friars. The theme is clear.
Every inch of the interior is mesmerizing, every room worth relocating to after every pint or so just to get a sense of the different facets of the space. The front room is dotted with low tables and chairs, divided here and there by snug-like, dark wooden separators, a room built for conversations among small groups, bathed in light thanks to the corner orientation of the room.
The pub space is dominated by the bar itself, a slow bend of a bar with a modest selection of taps visually anchored by a relief sculpture above that features, you guessed it, friars. Smooth wooden flooring complements the visual appeal of the space that includes small jut-outs from one of the walls just big enough for a couple of pints at most. Two red couches frame a classic fireplace, another relief and an interior archway. Like I said, this place is picturesque.
