It's a themed thing more than anything. Have special drinks in a classy space that feels exclusive. Plus it sounds better than "Basement Bar", which sounds hoosier to me.
Yeah pretty much. Just another term for a cool space for upscale cocktails

I understand and it was asked in jest. Just another marketing term misused by the real estate industry along the lines of 'lofts' and 'luxury'. We already had the term 'cocktail lounge' which sounds classy enough.

I only skimmed the article but it didn't seem like it would be open to the public, just an amenity space for the guests but I could have misread.

I’d imagine something more like Nighthawk or PS

OP advanced plans for a redesigned Farmers Market & a 100 unit apartment building. Targeting financing details released this summer and a 2024 construction start.

Would Joco people take a park-and-ride Saturday only transit option to/from the OP Farmers Market? I think if it looked cool/cute, it could be a family thing for people down there.

Farmers Markets these days can generate more gridlock on a weekend than most concerts.

No way would families do this. in todays age with car seats and regulations I would bet my life a park and ride in JOCO would not work.
