But there's a bit more psychology involved. Guests get a taste of that intriguing life behind the silver screen. A holding bar greets patrons before they enter WB Stage 16's dining areas. The draperies are a visual reference to Warner Bros. theatrics and the area is intended to look dressed up with odds and ends. It was important to make sure Warner Bros. understood that people would not like sitting in that kind of environment.
Dimensions range from the high and expansive to more intimate.
So we brought the ceiling down in some of the spaces so that people could have the option of smaller, more intimate dining environments. Patrons enter the restaurant from inside the hotel and encounter an outdoor lot-themed holding bar area. On the first floor, the Gold Diggers of 1933 set is a large dining area with an 80-guest capacity. Our challenge was to hide structural elements, inherent to the space. Not that it isn't lush or detailed.
