The Cuban Embassy

The Old Bulls Head was a cramped uninspiring space before it had new owners and was made…..Cuban. Yes. Think rum, Cuban sandwiches and gorgeously soulful (often live) latin music. However the look and feel of the place didn’t reflect the new vibe.

The Brief/Challenge

The problem was, they inherited the Bulls Head’s terribly designed bar, causing terrible queues, a lack of wet-sales and all-round frustration every time there were more than ten people in the building. Therefore they approached 2G for a full pub interior design and build solution….which also included a roof top bar construction.

Our Solution

We freed up all the space in the centre-console of the building, and created a new, stunningly Cuban wall-length bar across one side of the room, enabling patrons to drink, dance and move freely to their heart’s content.

Using bespoke furniture and lighting, we created a homely yet visually arresting bar that looks as Cuban as a Jalopy. This has resulted in increased custom, repeat sales and a much more homely, relaxed experience. Because that’s how we believe all bars should be.
