Copper Head is a bar where advanced technologies and age-old brewing traditions are combined. The brewery gives beer fans the opportunity not only to taste a freshly brewed drink, but also to take a look behind the scenes of the process of its preparation. The institution opened its doors in the historical center of Ivano-Frankivsk, in a building built during the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the 19th century. The building has a special history, it was here in 1897 that a film was shown for the first time in the city.
The entrance group is harmoniously inscribed in the facade of the house, without disturbing its architectural image. The business card of the establishment is the bar. He welcomes the guest, and the preparatory beer tanks located behind the bar immediately tune the guest to the appropriate theme.
THE BREWERY
The heart of the brewery is located in the basement - the brewery, which is located behind the glass to make the process of brewing beer as open as possible for visitors. The concept of transparency is continued by the open part of the kitchen, where guests can observe the preparation processes.
THE CONCEPT
Copper Head is a place about beer. The concept of the bar reflects the idea of a single beer organism that has its own "vessels". The idea is expressed with the help of copper pipes that pass through the entire facility, stretch on the walls and pass into the lamp. In the bar, every detail - from the entrance handles to the author's lamps - makes a reference to the beer theme.
AN INSTALLATION
The anchor element of the basement floor is an installation made of ceramic balls, which symbolize the inalienable attribute of beer - thick foam. Another installation is a wall panel in the form of perforated hops on metal sheets. An array of lamps based on beer glasses belongs to the author's ideas of the institution. The theme of copper received its continuation. The material is found not only in the interior of the institution, but also in the logo of the brewery and other elements of the institution's corporate style.
