Ron Arad\u2019s interiors blend retro modernism with cutting-edge curves, and staff uniforms come courtesy of <em>Mad Men<\/em> designer Janie Bryant.

The Renaissance-style arches and vaulted ceilings preside over local artwork in a sunny, breezy series of public spaces, excellent accompaniments to locally brewed beer and coffee.
