The Yard Milkshake Bar
Baton Rouge, LA
We started with a “vanilla box” and a vision. The space had no bathroom, no hvac, no electrical panel- a true canvas for us! We cut concrete for plumbing and installed two ADA compliant restrooms, stained concrete flooring throughout, added interior wall framing and sheetrock, installed all electrical and lighting and fixtures, all plumbing and plumbing fixtures, and all HVAC equipment and duct work. We also added solid wood banquet seating and shiplap wall trim throughout the dining area with acoustical grid, added ceiling tile in the back of house areas, painted the upper tall ceilings in the dining area- and much more! We think the result is pretty sweet!
