Set in the beautiful Lakeview area, the restaurant has neo-Gothic detailing with a [brick facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capiche) to mirror the layout. With a [modern yet rustic feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-frederick), the interior has ornamental brickwork to accent the intricate ceilings made from mosaic tiling. The wood flooring, copper accents and custom molding give off traditional tavern details with a color scheme of deep green, stark white and light ash. The space also features a gold marble central bar to create a sense of luxury mixed with comfort and warmth. Chef Debbie Gold leads the kitchen of the Tied House to offer a menu of refined American dishes and a high-end wine list. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Neo-gothic Design:** Opportunity to incorporate historic architectural elements into modern structures. - **Neo-rustic Interiors:** Creating a blend of modern and traditional design elements for a unique dining experience. - **Luxurious Tavern Spaces:** Combining luxury and comfort in restaurant interiors for a sophisticated atmosphere. ### Where This Applies - **Restaurant Design:** Design firms can specialize in creating neo-Gothic inspired spaces for restaurants. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can incorporate neo-rustic interiors for a distinctive and inviting atmosphere. - **Wine and Fine Dining:** Restaurants and wine bars can adopt the concept of luxurious tavern spaces to elevate the dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family History-Themed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lymbar.md) - [Gothic-Themed Ornamental Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyde-hyde.md) - [Modernist Art-Deco Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchhouse-caf.md) - [Dilapidated Mansion-Themed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-courage.md) - [Golden-Hour Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-goldie.md) - [Venetian-Style Eatery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cicchetti-piccadilly.md) - [History-Inspired Modern Taprooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talea-west-village.md) - [Glossy Ceramic-Pillared Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/town-restaurant.md) - [Dynamic Layered Interior Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo.md)
