I consider this brings brand new (arm-stretching) meaning to a tenure "pop-up bar". At The Doghouse in Darlinghurst, a tables literally spring out from a walls (see below). And a drink bottles have been hoisted about by a rope-and-pulley system.
I asked a bar's interior architect, Adele Winteridge of Foolscap, whether this was tricky to do. Turns out it's all formed on "old-fashioned technology". That would be fitting, as a space is meant to elicit a past. It's a speak-easy bar a living (and drinking) sign of a 1920s which was put together in twenty-four days. The Doghouse is a brainspark of Melbournites Rob Dumaresq as well as Hugh Gurney winners of Drambuie's design-your-dream-bar competition, The Premise.
I've yet to see this in chairman but seeing as The Doghouse will be usually open for one last week end before it's flatpacked away, we thought we should put up a visible sign (and visible encouragement) to check out a space.
