Craftsman-Inspired Cocktail Bars

The Blacksmith Pub Celebrates the Age-Old Profession

— October 12, 2015 — Art & Design
The Blacksmith Pub is a themed cocktail bar that pays homage to the historic metal-working profession. Designed by G.Sign Lab, this locale is rustic and eclectic in its overall look and feel -- featuring a mix of forged metal and fireproof brick materials that make up its major finishes and decorative accents.

In addition to its recognizable logo and beer tank bar counter, this pub's centerpiece is also made from recycled glass bottles. Known for working with metals like steel or wrought iron, a blacksmith's detailed level of craftsmanship is the main inspiration behind this themed cocktail bar.

The Blacksmith pub is cozy, rustic and masculine in a way that is authentic and effortless. The cocktail bar's interior mimics a metal worker's studio and marries a covetable menu with experiential design elements.
