In addition, Taffer implemented a new drink menu, featuring signature cocktails and craft beers, to keep up with the latest bar trends. The bar's decor was also in need of a major update. Taffer brought in a team of designers to give the space a much-needed facelift. They brightened up the bar with a fresh coat of paint, added new furniture and fixtures, and even installed a new sound system to enhance the bar's atmosphere.The Rescue Plan
