The building features exposed brick walls, steel beams, and large windows that flood the space with natural daylight, typical of industrial modern design found across Newcastle upon Tyne's city centre developments. It offers over 100 bottles of craft beers and natural wines from local producers such as Chin Chin Vinho Verde and Metamorphika clay bottles. The focus remains on North East businesses, including coffee roasters, hot chocolate makers, ice cream suppliers, all contributing to the venue’s grounded identity.
