The Chicago restaurant and club market is one of the most
competitive in the United States. That's why Heartthrob Enterprises
came to us to design, light, fabricate and install the décor
f or
their Tijuana Yacht Club and adjoining Surf Room nightclub.
The restaurant immediately transports patrons south of the
border with perhaps the world's largest black velvet painting,
complete with twinkling starlights and ultraviolet accents.
Ambiance is achieved with "weathered" woods, "rusted" metals
and an eclectic mix of neon signs, billboards and props. Lighting
includes custom designed and fabricated fixtures.
The nightclub is a rollicking recreation of a California
beach party, including a floor-to-ceiling cresting fiberglass
wave featuring internal lighting and flotsam drink stands.
The ambiance continues with sand, palm trees, thatched roofing
and booth seating provided by vintage car seats. This concept
was even incorporated into the DJ booth by custom building
the audio equipment into a '57 Chevy pickup.
The result? One of the splashiest night spots in town.
