“We’re taking the thing that made Storm Crow so famous and popular and trying to elevate it to that next step,” says general manager Tyler VanderWallen. While Storm Crow nods to a range of pop culture topics, from Game of Thrones to Dune, Offworld narrows the focus with an homage to sci-fi that includes showy cocktails and screens that transport diners through a fictional solar system.
Offworld blends a lounge-like vibe with glowing lighting, an illuminated stone bar and hologram-like light fixtures to create an ambiance that feels part-nightclub and part-geek den. Owner Jason Kapalka, who’s also the founder of video game company PopCap Games, tapped his network of animators to develop the bar’s ‘digital window’ screens, according to VanderWallen.
