I was watching a show this afternoon on Food Network about the evolution of Pizza Hut and Domino's.
Two guys made a point about Pizza Hut's dine-in restaurants and their FUN factor. Cozy booths, a jukebox and Pac Man video games. I must say, they're right! I believe most Pizza Hut restaurants in Hawaii have converted into just take-out, right? The one in Kaneohe was certainly a fun place to go when I grew up. A place everyone said, "Alright! We're going to Pizza Hut!". It was an occasion in itself. The ambiance, along with the smell of those hot pizzas arriving at the table was such a great feeling.
I went to Chuck E. Cheese in Aina Haina once for a friend's kid's birthday, and you know what? That place rocks! I wish we had this when I grew up.
Dave & Busters is pretty cool. I don't go there often, but when I do, it's always a blast trying out the latest arcade games. The foods' good too.
We also had a fun experience at Musashi, a Teppanyaki restaurant in the Hyatt. Chef Kevin gave us his whole "Flying Knives" magic show.
Is Starbucks a fun place? Seems to be more of a "library" atmosphere.
For kids, the place definitely should have video games and other similar attractions.
For adults, liquor, sports on TV and/or live music are the usual protocol. Attractive staff helps too. Along with fun and attractive clientele.
Of course, there's more to fun than just that, depending on what you're into. Wherever and for whatever reason, a good vibe is a must.
Either for the whole family, or more for adults, what restaurants around town do you find fun and entertaining? What makes it fun?
