Lagoon Biergarten

Lagoon Amusement Park introduced a new food and beer attraction, themed like a small Bavarian village square. There are 2 bars, a sit down restaurant, and a grab-and-go restaurant.

Lagoon approached Long Weekend (fka Coel Studio) to help them envision what the site could be. After entertaining several directions, Lagoon chose to pursue a Bavarian themed beer garden. Today, you can enjoy a beer at one of several indoor or outdoor areas, created to make you feel as though you have just stepped into a town square.

With 12,500 square feet, the facility has 60 taps, 20 unique beers, and 2 of the largest kitchens on the park.

As the Lagoon Biergarten project continued to grow, we brought on several partners to help us bring the Bavarian theme to life. With the help of Dan Stalker Architecture, we were able to work hand-in-hand to create fully branded and themed buildings. EPG was also engaged to help develop the landscaping, which was meant to emulate a small road running through a German town. Overall, Long Weekend help coordinate all of the designs, and worked closely with Lagoon to make sure all designs were well thought out and executed correctly.

In addition to architectural and landscape design, Long Weekend worked closely with Lagoon to make sure all of the details were in place that would create a rich and unique experience for patrons of the Biergarten. Exterior elements like flower boxes, the clock tower, and signage we all designed to help make the buildings feel like they were authentically Bavarian. Lights, tables, and all interior materials were also closely considered to resemble a large German beer hall.

Our roles as consultants on the project would ultimately extend into the beer and food selection process. We helped Lagoon with initial beverage selections that would provide variety, while catering to local breweries with large followings. We also pushed for food items that were Bavarian in nature – like pretzels and schnitzel – to create a more immersive dining experience.

We thank all of our partners, and Lagoon for the chance to work on such an amazing and ground breaking project for the park.
