The Loft at Lena's
Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap is expanding its dining experiences by announcing the debut of The Loft at Lena’s – Winter Lodge.
Building upon the success of Lena’s Oasis this summer, in which the restaurant transformed a parking deck into a tropical oasis, the restaurant has now converted a second-story space above the main restaurant into an upscale, Aspen-lodge-inspired winter haven.
The new winter lodge vibe has spacious ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive views. It will be a permanent addition to Lena's.
Following the Winter Lodge theme in the dining space, owners the Yates family teased, “There is more to come! The Winter Lodge is only the first of several future themes that will transform the space at The Loft at Lena’s.”
Their goal is to create some positive excitement in the months ahead by creating multiple immersive experiences that will transport guests to another place, where they can escape the everyday.
The Yates family partnered again with REVOLUTION and Christine Godsey of CG&CO Events to design the space. The teams were involved with creating Lena's Oasis earlier this year.
“The Loft at Lena’s became some winter escape that existed in my mind. Experiential in nature, I wanted guests to be transported out of everyday life and into a world that was beautiful and far less serious than ours,” said Katie Kirby, Creative Director of REVOLUTION. “Our hope was to create an environment where everyone who visits, can enjoy a fun and safe night out and I think we met and exceeded that expectation.”
To keep indoor dining as safe as possible in the pandemic, Lena's has installed state-of-the-art, disinfection technology fans that kill 99.99% of airborne pathogens, including the virus that causes COVID-19. The Haiku fans by Lexington, Kentucky based manufacturer, Big Ass Fans, are part of the Clean Air System that uses UV-C technology to deliver cleaner and safer air. The space also has open-air windows to let fresh air in and the HVAC equipment has been programmed to bring additional fresh air in from outside as opposed to only recirculating the air within the space.
