Project Overview:
The Paperback Tavern underwent a full-scale renovation, transforming the space in its entirety. The project involved a complete gut to the studs and a meticulous rebuild to enhance functionality and aesthetics. A key structural change included relocating the bar to a new position, optimizing flow and guest experience.
The original brick staircase was removed and replaced with a modern structural steel staircase, while a newly constructed bridge seamlessly connected two previously separated rooms on the second floor. A striking structural steel canopy was installed over the bar, adding both architectural interest and durability.
The renovation also introduced a brand-new private dining room, offering an intimate and upscale dining experience. Custom-built aluminum trellises were incorporated to elevate the design, while an ADA-compliant ramp was installed to ensure accessibility for all guests. All-new millwork, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) were carefully selected and installed throughout the space to complement the tavern’s updated aesthetic. New tile flooring, vinyl wall covering (VWC), and a state-of-the-art lighting system further enhanced the ambiance.
The addition of new booths provided stylish and comfortable seating, rounding out a transformation that seamlessly blends modern upgrades with timeless charm.
