Glow Bar is situated in a two-story space with a spacious street terrace on Preradovićeva Street, right in the heart of Zagreb. The bar has undergone a refurbishment and redesign, aimed at effectively conveying the unique Glow Bar concept - a concept designed to attract a younger, urban, and open-minded clientele.

The hallmark of the interior is its simplicity and minimalistic approach to decoration. This focus on minimalism has allowed for the creation of a refined interior without visual cluttering of the space. A focal point within the interior is the custom-made bar on the ground floor, which comes to life through a play of light and shadow. Except for off-the-shelf chairs, all other elements have been custom-made using meticulously chosen materials and textures.  

The interior design incorporates carefully selected materials for the floors, walls, the bar, and various other parts of the space. Bolon flooring from the renowned Swedish manufacturer has been used in the entrance area and gallery. The interior walls have been treated with a special plaster and sanded to achieve the desired texture, providing a softness to the indirect lighting.   The dominant feature of the ground floor is the bar itself, constructed from steel and curved copper-coloured sheet metal, with a Carrara marble countertop.

The seating booths have been upholstered in cognac-coloured leather, enhancing the intimate ambiance. The lighting fixtures have been thoughtfully chosen to emit subtle, subdued light, aligning perfectly with the desired high-end bar atmosphere. Column cladding is crafted from a distinctive metallic panelling, further enhancing the sense of modernity and minimalism.
