The drink program will highlight craft cocktails and mocktails, along with a selection of beer and wine.\n\nThe space will feature lounge-style seating with high-top tables and booth seating. The layout is intended to create a social atmosphere centered around the bar.\n\nThe venue will also host occasional entertainment, including weekend musical performances in the surrounding open area near the lounge.\n\n## Menu and Vision\n\nThe beverage program will be the primary focus of Aqua Vitae.
