The iBar at uWink |
Interactive Dining Arrives in HollywooduWink opens Tuesday, June 17, 2008 You’re the adventurous type. All about what’s new. And uWink is all about… well, you. Opening today in the Hollywood & Highland Center, and brought to you by Nolan Bushnell (of Pong and Atari fame), uWink is a whole new grown-up way to go out and play. Fun starts at the entrance, where you use your body to control a wall game (hint: it’s a mirror), then moves to the bar decked in dark wood and glowing green lights. Touch screens let you order up cocktails and microbrews, and even customize them down to the salt (or not) on your margarita. Casual comfort food is also just a tap away: from Mac-n-cheese to Braised Short Ribs and Seared Salmon. Hang out at the first U.S. 12-foot-long iBar, an interactive surface where you can digitally paint the bartop, play games with your friends, and intrigue bar strangers across the room via wall projections. The games are quick and encourage friendly competition, conversation and the occasional phone number. When was the last time you played Truth-or-Dare? Now that’s the way to get your party started. |
