The walls are covered in anime punk paintings, with everything else left very industrial. There are various tables scattered about with a middle pole up to the ceiling for dancers, and there is a stage dead center in the room. There is little hanging on the walls with the exception of five keys embedded in the wood behind the bar towards the center. The bar top is treated redwood, and cared for religiously. Doors to the restrooms, and kitchen are off to one side, under the stairs to the second floor. The bar is a full bar and serves all kinds, as best possible, although since the crowd is *OFTEN* mixed human and supernatural, discretion in ordering is expected. Off the kitchen is a door to the alley, a hallway to Lee's office's, the staff's break room and private bathroom, and the dancer's changing room with private bath and a shower are all located, along with storage and current roof access through a small unused room.

Some are filled with formal or lounging furniture. One larger room has dining type seating. There is a rumored black door with a gold handle, somewhere upstairs. The DJ booth is in one of those rooms, right above the middle of the bar. All rooms with glass are soundproofed.
