John Zawaski approached Aria Group to bring his Bourbon-centric concept – The Barrel Club – to fruition. Our team looked to distilleries and their natural materials for design inspiration. From the beginning, we looked to create a unique space, both interior and exterior. The building’s exterior cladding is cedar board and batten siding with vertical fins to accentuate a more modern approach to a traditional cladding technique. Illuminating a deconstructed barrel motif in the entry tower, creates a beacon at night to the passerby. In warmer months, guests can choose to sit outside in one of the two large patios, complete with a fire pit and Pub Shed. The Pub Shed offers an intimate and private bar with local craft brews on tap for sampling.
