Commercial Under $350,000

When the Thielen Brothers bought the old Olympia Underground Bar, they set out to convert this iconic space into one of Olympia’s favorite gathering spots for food, drink and music.

Dunamis Interiors completely redesigned the dysfunctional existing space into a new footprint for foodservice function and an open bar concept. The team included the adjoining lease space for the gaming lounge area. They made the horseshoe bar a focal piece of the design with a rustic wood frontage and the barback, detailed with a custom-designed, copper-etched TV enclosure. They enclosed the 60” linear fireplace wall with cedar plank barn wood in three different stain finishes for character.

The interior theme is rustic, lively and a little bit funky with local Olympia historical touches and musical themes. The historic mural of the downtown Olympia streetscape creates a work of art and depth of field as you look into the game area lounge. Dumanis selected all the finishes for durability and design concept.
