Call Me Back - Speak Easy

A flower shop, whose lease had expired and located adjacent to a long standing traditional British pub in downtown Vancouver had become available; is now home to a new speak easy lounge.

A door resembling a British telephone booth door in the pub provides access to the intimate 600 square foot lounge. Wall hung telephones greet guests as they enter and add a pop of color and dimensionality to the entry.

We developed a cost friendly tile in a bold pattern on the floors and vertically up the face of the bar to deliver drama and impact. The dark wallcovering pays homage to the space’s previous use featuring flowers along with surveillance cameras and barbed wire. Reflections in the mylar wallcovering, gilded mirrors and back bar mirrors provide sparkle and create the illusion of a larger space. Velvet drapery and feather pendant lights add to the allure of the 22 seat lounge. While the space is small, clearances are in place to allow for ease of movement.

Glassware, extra bottles and accessories are housed in a suspended overbar shelving feature. Cocktails are expertly crafted from the small but mighty bar and provide an option for those seeking something different than pints. It is also is a perfect place to host small gatherings.

The Speak Easy and the pub are public areas within a private business club with deep roots in Vancouver, founded in 1892.
