KavaDude - actually once it got dark they did turn on, I'm not sure if Neon, but bring blue and red and similar lighting
...
Well - as for the white - in direct sun - and it does get direct sun at 4 PM for example, it is very bright and stark, but once the sun is down they are able to use the white wall as a place to project the nature video, which is projected to something like 8 feet or more wide. I found that very fun. And the white walls do good things with the red/green/etc. lights at night. But, yes, at 4 PM it is very bright. They might consider at least tniting just the direction the sun comes in, I think ot only comes in one of the two sides with glass.
Yes - the crowd surprised me. Certianly a mix of people, but I think anyone I know would have been comfortable there, a bunch of 'normal' (whatever that means) people and some 'fun' people. And yes, I was also a little surprised about the gender mix. Lots of women actually. And people were overall open and willing chat at least for a few minutes.
The stool may look terribly uncomfortable in that image, but they are well padded on the inside. Not much of a back though. What I did was keep a place at the bar and use my jacket to aslo keep a place on the lounging couches mentioned above. So I'd sit at the bar a bit and drink, and then go lay down as well. Worked great for me.
As an amateur but very interested woodworker I should have gotten a pic of the bar - it is indeed very beautiful and well done.
Rishi - very funny! Yeah, I could tell one person I think may have guessed that I was taking pictures and didn't look happy so I had to be very incognito and quick about it.
They did have music on, and once I was really in the Kava it was a little loud, but certainly not loud for a normal situation, and they did ask a few people during the night if it was too loud, so that was nice to hear.
