Ruby Emma's bar located on the ground floor has an amazing story telling theme. From wind-powered gadgets and hand-wound machines to pedal- and potato-powered contraptions, the bar is abuzz with alternative energy. And when it comes to style, we've taken a steer from the 60s, when wind power took off again in Amsterdam. Mid-century modern and pre-loved pieces in bright, fresh tones showcase natural materials and the beauty of reusing and recycling. It's an inspiring space where people come together to share tall tales and grand plans, catch an up-and-coming band, or just unwind with a skilfully shaken cocktail.Find an armchair in a cosy nook, grab a table, or perch at the bar - our designers have ensured everyone has a comfy spot.
