Recently highlighted in Retail TouchPoints by Editor Adam Blair, For the Thrill of It: Eatertainment Experiences That Cater to All dives into the key drivers of a successful eatertainment venue.
“There’s a reason that ‘eat’ comes first in ‘eatertainment.’ ‘People want to have a one-stop destination, and if you can do that successfully, you’ll earn more of their time and wallet,’ said Melissa Gonzalez.”
Chain restaurants are consistent in both their food and their design, which is a huge part of their appeal to consumers, who know exactly what to expect on subsequent visits, even to new locations.
Bars should also ideally be visible from the entrance, says Joy Dayaw, associate, MG2 Design, Seattle, to create an immediate impression and to attract early arrivals
MG2 在《建筑设计+建筑媒体》最近发布的 2024 年 200 强建筑公司榜单中名列前 20 名。
Eatertainment has been called the most disruptive force in the industry since the launch of fast casual*. As part of the “experience economy”, eatertainment taps into longtime favorites like bowling and mini golf, as well as newer entrants like pickleball, surfing and escape rooms. And while these environments are often designed with a specific activity in mind and include elements such as interactive dining, live performances and innovative technology, it is important that owners, operators and designers consider 什么 their audience truly desires in these spaces as a way to unlock a sense of connectivity, and ultimately drive repeat visitation and spend. In our investigation, we sought to understand and identify the eatertainment environment features that deliver the most value to consumers and the on-site amenities and programming opportunities that contribute to making the experience an unforgettable one.

Per our investigation, each of our respondents self-identified with one of the following consumer personas, providing a deeper look into their experience with and their perceptions of an eatertainment environment, and which enhanced offerings would deliver the most value to them:
Defined as individuals whose preferred experience is one where they don’t need to be an expert to enjoy themselves and there is a level of accessible and social fun; appeals to first-timers, those newer to a game or activity; food is a secondary component of the experience.
Defined as individuals whose preferred experience is one where the food and beverage offering is on par with or exceeding the entertainment; appeals to those who view the entertainment component as icing on the cake and secondary to the food offering.
Defined as individuals whose preferred experience is to participate in a certain activity (i.e., pickleball, golf, sports betting); appeals to more avid fans and those who want to get in on the action and compete; food is a secondary component of the experience.
Eatertainment has a rich history, from traditional bowling alleys with finger foods and pitchers of beer, to mini golf with ice cream and snow cones, to arcades with soda fountains and bubble gum machines. What gives this genre staying power is its function as a “third place”, a welcoming destination to convene with others, offering a unique blend of entertainment, dining and social experiences that foster a sense of community and belonging. If we look at key drivers of society today, and the near future, the transformation of how we work, naturally interact and discover have all evolved consumers’ needs and wants. Digitization continues to open up access to information and communities on a global level creating an always connected society while also fostering a paradoxical sense of disconnection. This juxtaposition opens an underlying yearning and craving for real, in-person activities, connected through shared experiences of joy and laughter and escapism. By studying the cross generational influences from Gen Z to Boomers, we uncover the opportunities that exist for these environments to embody the pillars of desire, blending the nostalgia of traditional pastimes with modern innovations and providing experiences that become a beacon for socialization, joy, camaraderie and thrills. Experiences that keep guests wanting to come back again and again.
位于华盛顿州阿灵顿的“风之天使”房车度假村的会所设计灵感源自国家公园的豪华别墅。一个房车大小的门廊是通往度假村的大门，将宾客与入口直接连接，带来无缝衔接的入住体验。度假村提供高雅的露营环境，这正是当今旅行者所追求的。
建筑设计的核心在于室内外的衔接，落地窗的设计更显其重要性。大厅拥有人字形屋顶、挑高天花板和大型壁炉，可供聚会。外立面采用的烧杉板烧木，以及当地制造的雪松木天花板和镶板，在室内也得到了延续。一个大型公共火坑，令人联想起篝火，吸引着宾客在此相聚交流，并鼓励即兴对话。S'Klallam 艺术家 Brian Perry 创作的传统艺术作品遍布整个酒店。聚会室设有休息区，配备桌上足球和台球桌，并享有户外景观，是休闲聊天的理想场所。
俱乐部会所之外是度假村的配套设施，包括182个房车停车位、8个蒙古包、带淋浴和洗衣设施的酒店级卫生间、野餐和烧烤棚、一个不拴狗绳的狗狗公园、一条步道、9个篝火坑、匹克球场、一个迷你高尔夫球场和一个儿童游乐场。远处是一座观景亭，可以俯瞰山谷和贝克山的景色。俱乐部会所旨在为整个房车度假村提供一个聚会和娱乐场所，并融入该地区的自然奇观。
著名的 Salish Lodge & Spa 酒店因其卓越的品质而受到康泰纳仕的认可，是一家著名的酒店和水疗中心，坐落在太平洋西北部俯瞰斯诺夸米瀑布的悬崖之上。
2017年，MG2受命翻新水疗中心，同时保留其西北特色。这项工作包括翻新室内外空间，包括客用浴室，并更新室内装饰和外立面。MG2还设计了水疗中心的室内设计，将日式风格与当地美学完美融合，以雪松木色调、舒缓的桉树香氛和天然石材营造出宁静的氛围，为宾客带来专注于放松身心、焕发活力的高端体验。
2023年，MG2进一步提升了酒店的整体设施，包括全新的大堂酒吧、方便共享出行的门廊以及定制的豪华木质接待台。这些新增设施使酒店更加现代化，简化了运营流程，并提升了整体宾客体验。
Nestled within the vibrant Washington neighborhood, the Riverfront Brewery harmoniously merges brewing operations with a captivating taproom and restaurant concept, accompanied by sprawling outdoor patios and a scenic rooftop deck. Positioned prominently, it serves as a gateway into the district, anchoring the multiple residential buildings to the North. As part of the larger redevelopment and master planning efforts, Riverfront Brewery contributes to the district’s vision of a mixed-use environment, seamlessly blending residential, retail, and dining options.
As part of the Crossroads master plan, MG2 worked with ROIC and Edgeworks to design a new climbing gym. Edgeworks currently has three locations and offers fitness classes designed to complement a climbing routine. The gym, which includes a 10k SF addition to the existing 30k SF space, was completed in 2024. MG2 worked on the core and shell design and handled all phases of the project, from design through construction administration. This full-service project also featured a 45-foot interior mass filled with climbing walls, a new front desk and check-in area, public social spaces, a yoga room, new restrooms, and the renovation of existing restrooms, providing a comprehensive solution for the client.
Flatiron Crossing is undergoing a transformation into a thriving outdoor park experience with the intent to highlight the Flatiron Mountain namesake. A mix of uses will include residential, F&B, entertainment, and future office all within a 9-acre nature park space. The architecture blends seamlessly with the park to create a truly integrated experience. Macerich’s commitment to sustainability is showcased with the use of mass timber and CLT in one of the signature buildings.
A trip to the movies is still regarded by consumers as the most cost-friendly yet entertaining out of home entertainment experience over sporting, live concerts, and amusement parks*. While pressures from at-home streaming are significant, movie theaters are still the leading place for out-of-home entertainment, providing large-format viewing experiences that cannot be achieved at home. In this report, we look to understand and identify the viewing experience elements that deliver the most value to consumers and the on-site amenities and activities that can elevate the traditional movie-going experience beyond what was expected.

Per our investigation, each of our respondents self-identified with one of the following consumer personas, providing a deeper look into their moviegoing preferences and the amenities and activities that would deliver the most value to them:
Defined as individuals who go to the movies every once in a while but does stream movies at home often; comfortable with the more traditional cinema and box office experience (popcorn, soda, big screen) without all the bells and whistles.
Defined as individuals who go to the movies typically as a way to spend the afternoon or evening; may or may not have kids – values when there are attached options that complement the experience such as recreation, restaurants, or retail.
Defined as individuals who go to the movies typically for the social component of the experience; appreciates that cinema will always be a place for an intimate date night or taking part in the cultural buzz of the moment (i.e, Barbenheimer).
Defined as individuals who go to the movies often and prefer the experience to streaming; passionate about film as an art form from the storytelling to production and values cinemas that emphasize an immersive viewing experience.
Consumers will pay for a heightened experience, as demonstrated by amusement parks, Broadway shows or immersive art installations, and movie theaters share a similar opportunity. Audiences want to be entertained and even with at-home streaming available to them, there is still a desire and an appetite to go in-person to the theater. While comfortable seating, a good view and popcorn have always been table stakes, consumer behaviors and expectations of the movie theater experience are evolving. They have come to expect convenience in all things, especially with the use of smartphones, and post-pandemic being comfortable is no longer negotiable. Additionally, many consumers today identify as “foodies” and are interested in an elevated and unique food and beverage experience while watching a movie. These changing behaviors and preferences illuminate an opportunity for cinema operators who want to expand their offerings in order to surprise and delight consumers, giving them more than one reason to visit the theater.
MG2与Arena Sports合作，设计了首个位于Mill Creek的体育娱乐场馆。Arena Sports专注于家庭娱乐活动，重点发展室内足球运动。他们希望拥有充满活力的运动空间，并提供扩展服务，不仅可以汇聚运动员，也可以增添与家人和社区的纽带。

麦基诺岛上的伍兹餐厅多年来一直是宾客和游客的挚爱之所。这座都铎式宅邸最初由库达希家族于1905年建造，最初是一座精致的剧场。然而，多年来，它几经易主，曾被用作各种用途，从休闲场所到教堂，再到如今备受珍视的巴伐利亚主题餐厅。
为了跟上不断变化的口味和潮流，同时尊重其悠久的传统，该餐厅最近与 MG2 合作，对其内部进行了翻新和更新，同时保留了游客熟悉和喜爱的经典体验。
该项目旨在打造一个融汇新旧元素、和谐统一的环境，在彰显餐厅历史魅力的同时，对其进行翻新以达到现代标准，并为之前未得到充分利用的区域注入新的活力。为了实现这些目标，翻新团队几乎触及了餐厅内的每个空间，从Bobby's Bar到The Patio at Woods。
入口大厅经过了意义非凡的改造，配备了全新家具、嵌入式长椅和彩色玻璃墙，与主餐厅的外部环境和彩色玻璃窗完美融合。这些元素营造出一个独特而崭新的空间，更增添了餐厅的历史魅力和特色。
Bobby's Bar 以一只屡获殊荣的表演犬命名，经过翻新扩建，为宾客提供了更多座位和焕然一新的氛围。酒吧内摆放着 Bobby 生平的照片、奖项和纪念品，为空间增添了一丝个性化色彩。周围深绿色的树叶被巧妙地重新设计，打造出立体的瓷砖吧台。原有的黄铜栏杆经过巧妙改造，变成了悬挂式黄铜酒架和玻璃储物柜，更增添了浓郁的复古魅力。
大厅里的装置、家具和设备都焕然一新，而餐厅的“巴伐利亚狩猎小屋”的魅力和个性也通过历史图案的墙纸和俏皮的林地动物细节得到了精心维护。. 新增加的部分营造出一种奢华的氛围，与空间的高拱形天花板相得益彰，增加了整体用餐体验的优雅。
为了使空间更方便使用，卫生间经过重新配置和扩展，包括 ADA 隔间，确保所有客人都可以在 Woods 享受无限制的用餐体验。
The Chalet 拥有宽敞的玻璃窗，并新增了一个令人惊艳的透明双面壁炉，将室内用餐体验与户外露台延伸部分连接起来，使两种环境完美融合。此外，以动物标本头像和复古奖杯为特色的混搭装饰小品，更增添了一抹独特的韵味，捕捉了房间如画般的景致。
露台进行了扩建，并新增了一个带顶棚的木质玻璃餐厅，使其与现有建筑在视觉上融为一体。餐厅中央的壁炉餐桌营造出温馨舒适的用餐体验。
奖杯厅原本是一个未被充分利用的区域，如今被改造成全新的用餐区。餐厅内安装了嵌入式卡座、金属网屏风和木制品，并配有向上照明，营造出温馨舒适的用餐氛围，让宾客能够饱览远处户外露台的壮丽景色。
在整个装修过程中，设计团队利用新的或重新装修的室内装置、家具和设备，与餐厅的乡村魅力和现代优雅完美融合。
最终呈现的是一个焕然一新、和谐共存的环境，既致敬伍兹的传奇历史，又兼顾了现代标准。新旧元素的完美融合，营造出一种引人入胜、沉浸式的精致氛围，定会在未来数十年里，为麦基诺岛的宾客和游客留下深刻的印象，带来愉悦的体验。
Designed to be a curated culinary and social gathering brand—MG2 programmed and designed this 40,000 SF experience to include a variety of food, beverage, and entertainment options. The spaces serves as a hub for the community and surrounding neighborhoods with range of fast casual to full-service dining and drinking. This flexible market and outdoor eat/play zone anchor the ground floor while the second floor extends the experience with a national entertainment venue, zone for live music, and outdoor terrace bar and dining. Pillars of local, tech integration and sustainability were used to ground this flexible venue.
Located across the street from Grand Hotel, The Jockey Club has become a favorite amongst hotel guests, island visitors and locals of Mackinac Island. Originally built as a Snack Bar to cater The Jewel Golf Course, The Jockey Club features the only wood-fire grill on Mackinac Island and welcomes visitors to enjoy signature cocktails, and mouth-watering dishes incorporating local ingredients, all while overlooking the 9日 hole of The Jewel Golf Course.
Seeking to undertake a comprehensive rehabilitation and expansion of the restaurant’s popular outdoor dining areas, The Jockey Club partnered with MG2 to enhance the dining experience for guests while preserving the historic charm of the building.
The renovation included the replacement of weathered exterior dining tents with a striking new permeant structure. Designed to be a visual complement to the memorable architecture of the existing building, the pavilion features clean lines and simple but elegant composition. With permanently covered dining that can be enjoyed throughout the season, The Jockey Club has been enhanced with an inviting and comfortable dining experience for guests to enjoy.
Designers paid close attention to the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) used in the restoration, sourcing local, vintage FF&E from around Mackinac Island to create a unified and community-centric space that could accommodate more guests. The result is a warm and inviting dining area, enshrouded in island history, that perfectly complements the legacy architecture of the building and the nearby, Grand Hotel.
Finally, to ensure The Jockey Club is fully accessible to all visitors, the team incorporated ADA accessibility features into its environment. This included ramps and lifts to enable easy access to the clubhouse and the addition of two exterior-accessible restrooms that meet ADA requirements.
With its stunning new design elements and ADA upgrades, The Jockey Club’s revitalization has enhanced this iconic destination’s environment while preserving its original building’s historic charm, making it a must-visit experience for locals and tourists alike.
Since his humble beginnings as a Cold Stone Creamery scooper in Michigan, Dylan Lemay always dreamed of taking his love and passion for ice cream to new heights. The young entrepreneur spent years honing his craft, building his personal brand, and creating unique, first-person social videos that put ice cream fans in the spotlight.
Today, as TikTok’s number one food & beverage content creator, Dylan regularly entertains over 15 million followers across numerous digital platforms with his ice cream “throwing” antics. When the influencer was ready to establish a brick-and-mortar venture, he partnered with MG2/The Lionesque Group to bring his brand and vision to life.
Catch’N Ice Cream is an innovative, interactive ice cream shop experience in the NoHo neighborhood of New York City. Like neighboring retailers on its strategically chosen block of Bleecker Street, Catch’N is a contemporary brand that offers visitors an engaging yet timeless approach to a classic experience, one that is inherently Dylan Lemay.
The store’s design language is crisp, clean, and modern, with angular details that draw guests’ eyes to the culinary performance at its center. Hand-selected from dozens of options, the venue itself is a traditional podium retail space in the historic Bayard-Condict Building: the only structure in NYC by the great modernist architect Louis Sullivan. This unique setting creates a backdrop of familiarity and neighborhood context that juxtaposes the trendy elements specific to the Catch’N brand.
In order to fundamentally capture Dylan’s style and personality, every element for Catch’N was custom-designed, from the logo and style guide, to merchandise, fixtures, counters, and wallcoverings. Curated with intent, Catch’N’s color palette boldly diverts from the industry’s traditional, frequently used shades while still befitting that of an ice cream company.
The Catch’N experience centers around a huge cold slab counter where staff chop, fold, and throw ice cream to customers, replicating the influencer’s signature style. The user journey, both kinetic and sensory in nature, puts each patron in the spotlight, just like Dylan’s digital brand and video creations.
As guests wait their turn, they’re awarded ample sightlines to the cold slab experience and the ability to explore the full line-up of ice cream-themed merchandise. Technological touches such as digital menus and projection mapping infuse humor and keep in-store content fresh, rounding off a stylish, engaging experience created by—and for—the next generation.
“Catch’N is born 50% from social media and 50% from the culinary ice cream world,” explains Peter Stocker, Principal at MG2 and design lead on the new ice cream brand, “The design and customer experiences in the space reflect that duality.”
“What’s been so exciting about working with Dylan and his team to create this unique culinary experience is the incredible growth we’re seeing in the ‘creator as a brand’ trend,” adds Melissa Gonzalez, Principal at MG2 and Founder of The Lionesque Group, an MG2 studio. “The opportunity to partner with such a dynamic innovator with a steadfast entrepreneurial mindset, and be that counterpart in helping him find the perfect space, bring the design to life, and mold the brand voice—it’s been a rewarding experience for all involved.”
Upon his semi-retirement, Thierry Rautureau, better known to many as the award-winning Chef in the Hat, was ready to embark on a new culinary endeavor. He sought to expand his brand beyond traditional fine dining into a more approachable but still sophisticated experience that would appeal to a wider audience.
Rautureau collaborated with MG2 and SSP America to design and develop LouLou Market & Bar: a French-meets-Pacific Northwest restaurant in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The restaurant weaves together the chef’s passion for cooking, a lifetime of culinary accomplishments, and rich personal history.
Every aspect of LouLou’s environment and branding was chosen to reflect the Chef’s vision, the legacy of his brand, and his lifelong journey.
The familiar wood tones and neutral colors of its nearby terminal neighbors are delicately interrupted by a dark blue and white color palette. It’s a strategic motif that distinguishes itself while also creating a welcoming respite in the chaotic gate environment.
Custom wall coverings surround visitors—hand-illustrated to pay homage to Rautureau’s childhood dog—gracing the walls alongside a refined logo, signage, and greenery-adorned shelving. Elegant yet hearty Parisian fixtures, furnishings, and operational elements such as rattan seating and bespoke brass beer taps combine to create a warm market atmosphere. Menus, plating, and presentations artfully blend French and Pacific Northwest culinary traditions.
“We wanted to make sure it lived up to the Chef’s reputation,” explains Peter Stocker, Principal and LouLou’s design and branding lead. “It was a powerful collaboration in which we pooled ideas and talents to achieve a genuine design vision. I believe we were successful in honoring his legacy, brand, and personal history — the end result is authentically and aesthetically him.”
When SSP America sought to replace an existing food and beverage venue in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with a cutting-edge, interactive experience, they partnered with MG2 to create VYNE: a technology-driven wine bar and tasting room.
Born from the goal of showcasing a diverse selection of Washington wineries to travelers from around the globe, VYNE’s interactive pour-it-yourself wine journey offers upscale yet laid-back ambiance in an industrial-modern environment, creating a destination-worthy reprieve from the bustle of SeaTac’s central terminal.
Every aspect of LouLou’s environment and branding was chosen to reflect the Chef’s vision, the legacy of his brand, and his lifelong journey.
Tackling everything from logo development to architecture scope, all the way through construction in a challenging footprint located directly above baggage claim, the teams worked closely together to deliver a final product that is as interactive and educational as it is inviting and enticing.
In 2022, with an above-and-beyond design demonstrating an innovative approach and effective partnership between the airport, its passengers, and the larger Washington community, VYNE was awarded the “Best New Food and Beverage” full-service concept by the Airports Council International – North America.

有越来越多的人呼吁改变美国社区的设计方式，更加注重居民的福祉。这些新社区的核心在于：便捷通达。
有时被称为 15分钟城市， 这些社区的设计目标是，人们所需的一切生活必需品——从食品杂货到医疗服务——都能在步行或骑自行车15分钟内到达家。根据2019年一份题为“ 前方有行人 据 Smart Growth America 称，这些类型的步行开发项目可以提高社会流动性、促进经济增长，并改善居民生活的其他几个方面。
西雅图建筑、设计、战略和品牌公司的团队 MG2 他们坚信步行开发项目的潜力，因此他们专注于设计所谓的 健康社区.
MG2 负责人表示：“我们的重点超越了混合用途开发项目的传统‘生活-工作-娱乐’原则。” 本吉斯 说道。“我们还考虑到我们认为至关重要的‘滋养、运动和学习’原则。我们将整合我们在设计从杂货店到医疗诊所等各个方面的专业知识，打造一个具有凝聚力、适宜步行、健康的社区。”
吉斯特表示，对于 MG2 而言，健康社区的一些关键要素包括便捷的交通，包括便利的杂货店、日托中心、办公空间、医疗设施、公园和混合收入住房。过去几年，该公司一直致力于利用其建筑师在设计各种零售空间方面的丰富经验，将购物中心等未得到充分利用的零售场所改造成充满活力的社区。
其最新项目之一位于华盛顿州柯克兰，西雅图以东的郊区。MG2 及其合作伙伴 麦迪逊发展集团 已将前购物中心的旧址重新设计成一个占地 135 万平方英尺的开发项目，名为 玫瑰山这个新社区紧邻405公路，将包含四栋混合用途的公寓/零售建筑。每栋建筑的设计都充分考虑了不同的人群，内外都散发着独特的个性，但又不失相同的设计语言。
这些建筑除了拥有800多套公寓单元外，还将配备零售设施，包括医疗保健设施和日托中心。此外，还将设有办公空间、户外派对平台以及其他一些向所有居民开放的便利设施。
“我们在整个项目中分布了各种便利设施，吸引居民探索和了解他们居住地以外的建筑，”吉斯特说。“我们努力在整个场地营造一种社区感、好奇心和活力。”
小区内，居民可以找到一家4万平方英尺的全方位服务杂货店，以及一家位于小区对面的Costco超市。这尤其合适，因为 MG2 已在全球设计了数百家 Costco为了进一步打造步行社区，谷歌于 11 月敲定了附近 Lee Johnson 汽车经销店的购买协议，计划利用该地块设立新的实体办公室，扩大其在西雅图的业务范围。
吉斯特表示，在此之前，大多数美国社区的设计都以车辆为中心。相比之下，玫瑰山社区则专注于打造通行便利、光线充足、景观优美的步行道，方便居民轻松步行前往社区内的任何建筑。就连主停车场也种植了绿植，并通过类似天窗的开口引入自然采光，引导居民和访客直接进入杂货店入口。
该开发项目预计将于今年春天开工。
“玫瑰山 “它不仅仅面向那些距离其建筑步行15分钟以内的居民，”吉斯特说道。MG2 的愿景是成为整个柯克兰社区的中心，目前该社区主要由商业街、停车场、低层建筑和独户住宅社区组成。
他补充说，零售业的本质正在发生变化，改变了美国各地购物中心的模式。传统的主力店和小型商店已无法满足消费者当前的需求，并加速了全国各地购物中心的关闭。
“正因如此，我们才采取了全新的零售开发方式，首先要思考‘零售如何才能覆盖整个社区，而不仅仅是零售机会？’”他说道，“这有效地将我们从开发‘购物场所’转变为设计令人向往、宾至如归的目的地。”
