• Eco-friendly furniture — the entire aesthetic is warm, natural, and deliberately unconventional
• “Boho Urban Eco Style” — the venue’s own description of its design philosophy
• A large covered section — “there’s only a tiny section of our rooftop where you can dance in the rain; as for the rest, we’ve got you covered”
• Intimate DJ booth — perfectly positioned for rooftop party vibes
• Cover charge applicable after a certain time on event days
