# Squished Rustic Restaurants The Pink Moon Saloon was Built Between Two Existing Buildings By Meghan Young | Published 2016-01-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-moon-saloon References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2016/01/15/this-cute-little-bar-and-restaurant-was-built-in-between-two-existing-buildings/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pinkmoonsaloon/) Although the interior of the Pink Moon Saloon looks like something straight out of a Western flick, there is a cute element to the architectural design that will attract more than the cowboy wannabe passerby. Squished between two existing buildings, it looks like something that would have popped up in a Harry Potter-type world. In a way, it was created by a team of magicians from Sans-Arc Studio. When approached by the founders of the Pink Moon Saloon, the studio was asked to embody the "narrative of the outdoors, a childhood memory of fire cooked food and camping in the forest." No wonder what they ended up constructing has such a fantastical element to it. A bar and restaurant, it is comprised of two huts that separate each entity in a cozy way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Architectural Innovations:** Creating unique and visually captivating structures in unconventional spaces. - **Immersive Dining Experiences:** Designing restaurants that transport patrons to a different time or world. - **Nostalgic Design:** Incorporating elements from childhood memories or pop culture to create a whimsical atmosphere. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Opportunity to create immersive dining experiences and unique restaurant designs. - **Architecture:** Potential for architectural firms to explore innovative designs in unconventional spaces. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainment venues to incorporate nostalgic design elements and create immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rural Village-Based Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steirereck-am-pogusch.md) - [Dilapidated Mansion-Themed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-courage.md) - [Glowing Chicken Restaurant Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinos-famous-chicken.md) - [Intimate Noodle Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calgary-noodle-bar.md) - [Art-Decorated Converted Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-guide-1.md) - [Revived Modern Burger Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pluto-burger-bar.md) - [Artful Soft-Pink Dining Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gallery-at-sketch.md) - [Modular Dining Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/11-x-17.md) - [Curved Brick Rooftop Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parconido-bakery-cafe.md)
