The main level features a 35-foot bar, a 12-foot balcony bar with a powder room, a front entrance patio, a manager's office, and four large storage closets. Accessibility is a priority, with five bathrooms located on the first floor, including a handicap-accessible unit equipped with a shower.The infrastructure is built for heavy-duty commercial use, featuring four newer HVAC units serving the entire facility and three water heaters.

It is ideally suited for a City or County Civic Center, corporate headquarters, multi-unit shared commercial offices, or retail spaces. Developers may explore converting the space into low-income apartments, with potential for 20 to 25 units. The facility is also a prime candidate for a brewpub, distillery, or events center, with the potential for new liquor licenses through 501c charity status or satellite licensing. Other viable uses include a training or education center, satellite campus, government auxiliary offices, or a charitable/religious affiliated facility.
