As the senses are awakened, the elements that make this collection of spectacular bars and restaurants come alive will become apparent. Organized by project, Hip Entertaining: Bars and Restaurants showcases twenty-five fresh new bars and restaurants, ranging in type from a simple, yet stylish sandwich bar to a grand, elaborate hotel cafe. Spectacular full-color photographs, floor plans, and enlightening text take readers behind the scenes and into the minds of the designers, owners, and customers. A quirky and stylish layout complements this rich and varied collection of establishments, which are certain to whet the creative appetites of both the designer and the enthusiast alike.
