Βalzac Inner Pleasure is an all-day destination place in the main square of Petroupoli. It is a large, double-height place with many external spaces in its perimeter, arranged in comfortable and warm living rooms with metallic pergolas and muntin glasses and arches combined with glasses and wood, making the building a landmark in the broader area. The design and decoration are based on modern architectural lines, mainly using wood in natural honey-colored nuances. The green element is also widely used, with plants decorating the most peculiar spots, such as the suspended lightings externally or the suspended rings on top of the bar. The stone wall that used to exist in the right part of the place was preserved, restored and showcased with a special lighting.

A big central bar dominates the central area; this is a particularly custom construction made exclusively by wood. A big spiral lighting fixture is suspended from the ceiling with the plants and consists of many series of rings, from three different materials, wood, metal and rings with light. The impressive scenery is complemented by wavy formations of wooden strips covering the walls and with the atmospheric lightings coming out of their gaps. The floor, both internally and externally, is covered by cement tiles with geometrical shapes, cement mortar and illuminated strips.
