‘The Public House’ was the name of a bar without a face. Owner Lyndsay Edmonds approached us to create a brand for her craft cocktail project, hoping we could mirror the bright and lively interior of their space. We were inspired by her family’s history, running a filling station during the golden age of automobiles.
The ‘Godess of Bay City’ is heavily inspired by the hood ornaments of art-deco era cars, as well as the strong female team behind the bar itself. ‘Friends, Strangers, Lovers’ was a phrase discovered within the ideation process. We used it throughout the bar to represent the variety of relationships that can unfold place within the space.










“Our success is in large part due to [Old Friend] taking the time to unpack my dream of opening a coffee shop and a craft cocktail bar. We look forward to future projects with Old Friend!
LYNDSAY EDMONDS, OWNER OF THE PUBLIC HOUSE
