Directly above the brew house there is a catwalk where brewers are regularly seen checking the brew. Behind the brew house and also glass enclosed is the keg room where the beer is stored in holding tanks. Despite Southend's size, diners are made to feel as if they are in their own secluded space. Demi-partitions make the huge restaurant feel intimate. Plus, custom designed hanging light fixtures and spot lighting hits every table for a greater sense of focus.
Additional track lighting brightens the overall space.
Likewise, the dining side of the restaurant is carpeted for a more comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Warm wood tables are draped with white tablecloths for a touch of sophistication in an otherwise rough space. Banquettes and chairs are upholstered in a fabric that pictures grains and plants in earthly shades of green and brown. This hint at growth and life is an intentional contrast to the restaurant's warehouse setting. The pizza bar and kitchen are both exposed in order to heighten Southend's entertainment value and bring the smell of food cooking into the dining area.
