When the owners of Great Barrington’s Public House decided on a complete makeover of the restaurant, they turned to TDA, with whom they had worked on several Berkshire County restaurants. It was determined early on that only the 100 year old bar, originally from the Commodore Hotel in Manhattan, would remain as a centerpiece but that everything else would be in play.
TDA worked with the owners to modernize the restaurant, improve its facilities and create a new wood fired pizza business in a former storage area. Existing natural brick, natural wood and exposed ductwork were strategically used to create a comfortable and welcoming space. Indirect lighting was used to highlight the existing old building’s walls and the polished wood bar. The new pizza restaurant is connected to the original space and has a careful selection of the same finishes, but with its own take-out entrance and brighter lighting, its aesthetic is distinctly more energetic.
