Opening its doors in Ponsonby back in 2009, Longroom has risen in popularity to a cast of thousands frequenting the iconic restaurant and bar over nearly nine years in business.
The brief was to bring the outdoors in, and designer Paul Izzard (who also created sister cafe Longshot) worked his magic on the bar and restaurant interiors, transforming the expanse into a moody, chic space for customers to drink and dine to their heart's content.
Elegant new booth seating creates an air of intimacy for those enjoying a quiet meal. The addition of new, slightly lower leaners and stools was a considerate and comfortable touch for casual diners. Further exemplifying Longroom’s sophisticated new aesthetic, the bar’s makeover is something to behold. The front of the bar has been de-cluttered and is now dotted with stools, allowing guests to sit up at the bar, chat and enjoy their favourite tipple.
Longroom’s premium spirit offering is beautifully showcased on the back bar, and behind the bar working spaces have been redesigned for better efficiency, meaning you get your libation of choice faster. Ange Dye from ‘The Untrained Eye’ added her creative flair and finishing touches to enhance and complete the project, and both Longroom directors are nothing short of praise for all involved.
Longroom has plenty going on during the winter months, so don’t miss out on any of the action, if you haven’t seen the new space/s don’t be shy! Bookings now available online.
