    I’d rather have a restaurant that catered to a certain decade of births. Perhaps a restaurant called, “80’s babies”, and then decorate it in pop culture pieces from the 90’s and 2000’s. Decorate it with pieces from movies that were released in the 90’s and 2000’s. Place memorabilia from bands and musicians that played during those years. Put up posters from popular TV shows. I would have areas of the restaurant dedicated to certain trends and styles. For example, one area could be for the pop fans of the late 90’s, another could be for the rock scene fans of the early 2000’s, …etc. Another area could be a bar that has the most memorable baseball, football, soccer, or other games from those years, being replayed on a big screen. Another area could be an eating area where guests can watch famous news and political clips from those years. Something similar to Reeling in the Years could be playing on screens near their booths.

    The whole place could be like a time capsule from the late 80’s to about 2010. If you want a certain age group to patronize a place, make it appeal to them specifically. That’s just my opinion. It will probably be downvoted.

      This is a great idea.

      I’ve seen plenty of places that try this concept. In the end the walls look like decade vomit, the songs are the same one-hit wonders, and the wait staff are not enjoying it one bit. If done wrong, this is less Jack Rabbit Slims and more Hard Rock.

      I’d like to see this executed tastefully somehow. That said, I am no means a designer so I hope someone more talented than me could flesh this idea.
