This is the opening blog from Annen Design Industries. This spring I am looking forward to the soon-to-be-open Beaker & Flask which I designed for Kevin Ludwig. The cocktail focused restaurant is at 720 SE Sandy Blvd. (the corner of SE 7th and Washington). The space evokes images of a chemistry laboratory but with more comfortable lounge seating at the front windows and raised wood booths like study carrels. The kitchen and bar walls are covered with chalkboard paint for drink lists, menu items and artwork. I hope you will stop by when it opens in the near future.
