And talk about kitsch, there's plastic animals, pink fireplaces, a miniature golf course and a 65-foot tall pink Ferris wheel that Bock bills as a vertically revolving patio. With the entertainment, they're tapping into the tactile, real world versus virtual appeal of old-school games such as darts, Ping-Pong, vintage arcade games, bocce, bowling, shuffleboard and even miniature golf. Perhaps we are seeing a growing desire for real world tactile play as a push-back from digital screen games and a growing desire for real world social experiences as a response to the growth of social media. For example, many 45-year-olds are just as active on social media as most Millennials. Millennials are not the only people who take selfies or post food-fies (foodporn) on social media. Annika Stensson, senior manager of research for the National Restaurant Association, puts it this way, "Restaurants and bars are venues for social gatherings, and what's more social than engaging in a good-natured game with friends and family?

There's an indoor bay for food trunks, which change nightly, and two 27-foot bars serving drinks like you would get on vacation in the tropics such as coconut cocktails, key-lime fizzes and hand-shaken pina coladas as well as standard bar offerings including 8 craft beers on tap. This 34,000-square-foot indoor, 15,000-square-foot outdoor dining and entertainment concept in California includes a full-service restaurant, two bars with an extensive wine list, cocktail menu and whiskey collection, 18 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, 2 billiard tables, over 60 interactive games and live entertainment. But unlike all the digital diversions in our lives, it takes two or more people in the same physical location to play these old-school hands-on games. Yes, we've had some models of eatertainment around for some time, such as pizza and games with Chuck E. Cheese's and Peter Piper Pizza, buffet-tainment with Incredible Pizza and Amazing Jack's and adult-oriented Dave & Buster's.

We are currently seeing the growth of many new eatertainment concepts, where innovative operators are putting a decidedly modern spin on the food and beverage as well as the entertainment. The consumers who embrace these new consumer cultural behaviors, most of which are disruptive to old business models, including yesterday's FEC and LBE models, are demographic agnostics. An 18-year-old woman in college is a lot different than a 33-year old married mother with a one-year old. The club serves up a lot more than biscuits (shufflespeak for pucks). So our company, along with the brand-marketing firm Continuum, has decided to call forward-thinking, more culturally and digitally progressive consumers who sound a lot like many Millennials, but aren't defined by age, as New School consumers. The driving range has sunken, circular targets, each divided into pie-like sections, looking a bit like a dartboard. Located in Jaipur, just 14 km from Amber Fort, The Vijayran Palace by Royal Quest Resorts is a luxurious 5-star hotel offering a range of amenities. The resort boasts world-class facilities including freshwater pools, a spa offering deluxe beauty treatments and various massage styles, and four dining options. This hits the bull's eye in terms of offering a High Fidelity social experience to get people out of their homes, off the street and away from the Convenience of the digital screen.

Let's admit it, neither Chuck E. Cheese's nor Dave & Buster's food could be considered trendy, adventurous, socially and sustainably responsible, or anything to food-fie on social media as foodporn. Media seems to be obsessed with categorizing Millennials as both the vanguard and the sole practitioners of so many digital- and values-driven cultural behaviors and trends. However, they both likely have smartphones and post on social media. However, what is changing is that the food and beverage is gaining more importance than in the past to drive attendance to these type destinations. Unlike old school eatertainment venues, the food and beverage is 85% of revenues. What we are seeing is a combination of contemporary enlightened eating and drinking and a retro-chic gaming trend at a growing number of venues with old school games attracting New School consumers. She turned an old car wash into a 200-seat caricature of a country club, no membership required (talk about repurposing!). Self-described as a "country club on crack," it's owner Leslie Bock's response to being denied membership to a private country club. The villa’s lounging terrace features its own private plunge pool/hot tub, Billiards Club Décor chimenea fireplace and built-in barbeque area.
