“BERLIN, LONDON, & NEW YORK

The industrial exterior is matched with a black wall interior, splattered with graffiti artwork and pop-art canvases of a young Queen Elizabeth II and David Bowie , all complimented by low lighting. The urban feel seeps into the restaurant further with a faux-cherry tree sprouting from the center of the dining room, pink accents scattered throughout the bar, a bright neon sign, and chill EDM house music. “In Berlin, you’re going to get the gritty city, the artwork, the trains and buses, and I wanted my restaurant to have the same industrial feel,” said Mickey. A touch of Mickey’s artistic work lines the walls with his photography from his various adventures across the globe. “I’m a hobby photographer enthusiast, and now I get to use my restaurant as a gallery, which is great,” shared Mickey. His family also makes an artistic appearance in the dining room, with black and white photographs of his mom and grandfather from 1957. “She’s on a motorcycle and was probably about 11 or 12 years old, and I just thought it was a unique photo that she’s had all of these years,” said Mickey. “The photograph of my grandfather with him and his friends.” Other artwork throughout the eatery is inspired work from Russian street artist, Banksy , and German photographer Helmut Newton .
