Customers will enter the venue through a bookcase in the The Howlin' Hound, using a secret lever after putting the secret passcode into a keyboard. Once inside, visitors will find a low lit cocktail bar, retro pictures and an Instagram tunnel. The venue also has a separate exit at the front of the restaurant.
