Fannie Q’s Saloon
The “saloon” esthetic is most prominent in the tin-clad bar, stretching the length of the room, backed by a rhythm of shuttered windows.
Fannie Q’s Saloon, occupying a structure formerly used for dinner theater, has the feel of a well-worn Filson jacket. The existing concrete floors were left as-is, the structure exposed and painted black, and the stage re-purposed for live music. Walls were punched through for new windows and doors and a large porch added to increase seating. The “saloon” esthetic is most prominent in the tin-clad bar, stretching the length of the room, backed by a rhythm of shuttered windows. The center of the space features a custom moose antler sculpture by Knot & Burl – a fabricator and Heliotrope collaborator. Most décor elements are re-purposed, antiques bought at auction and antiques purchased in rural shops.
