COME UP TO GET DOWN
A vibrant Mexican cantina on the fourth floor of the Hyatt’s Thompson Hotel, where patrons can come for group experiences centered around drinking and dining. Inspired by the popular Mexican toast “Arriba, Abajo, al centro, pa’ dentro” — which translates to “Up, down, to the center, drink!”

A barrel of monkeys. Custom wayfinding, funky window graphics curiously alluring neon signs draw passersby up to the fourth floor location.
