Drinks are abundant as well in space. The main hall of the market on the first floor features a central bar serving up seasonal cocktails and a build-your-own Bloody Mary area. Additionally, there’s a dedicated craft beer bar serving brews from Florida; while on the mezzanine level, there’s an open kitchen surrounded with lounge areas along with an additional bar.

The bright space showcases large interactive murals and sculptures, bright retro neon signs throughout the space, a 220-car, four-level parking garage, as well as dedicated takeout and pick-up spots. COVID-19 design features include touchless bathrooms, collapsible nanowalls for open-air spaces at the mezzanine special event level, two garage doors on the ground floor, enhanced air filter AC system, outdoor seating for 200, and socially-distanced spaced indoor seating.
