Cocktails, margaritas, gyoza, and a digitally illuminated tree
"When looking for a euphoric pick-up without the booze (or a Burning Man-esque primer before heading to the Playa), walk towards the 23-foot-tall, LED-lit maple tree at Area15 where you’ll find two hemp-infused drinks: the Ginger Gorilla Cocktail and the Wild Berry Rose Nojito. These refreshing cocktail alternatives contain legal limits of Delta 9 THC — the main psychoactive element in cannabis known for its strong effects — so you can enjoy the surrounding experiential art and entertainment on a different level. If this isn’t your thing, Oddwood also offers a wellness menu of mocktails, juice shots, and a selection of pharmaceutical-grade hydration beverages." - Emmy Kasten
"Area15, the 200,000-square-foot entertainment venue with interactive artwork, and while everything inside could be considered pretty cool, the bar Oddwood features cocktails in open area that surrounds a 25-foot-tall digital maple tree. The 2,500-square-foot bar sits in the Spine, the main corridor of the complex filled with giant pieces of art. The digital tree created by Color + Light uses more than 5,000 individually programmed LED lights that line the branches. The lights twinkle to the beat of the music." - Janna Karel
"Those venues that did open already at Area15 include cocktail and coffee bar Oddwood, highlighted by a 23-foot Japanese maple tree replete with twinkling LED lights." - Susan Stapleton
"Debuting at Area15 in September, Oddwood features an LED-laden tree at the base of the bar and an overall LED-lit atmosphere." - Susan Stapleton
"A 2,500-square-foot bar situated in the complex’s main corridor (the Spine) that centers on a 25-foot-tall digital maple tree created by Color + Light; more than 5,000 individually programmed LEDs line the branches and twinkle to the beat of the music. Designed by Corner Bar founder Ryan Doherty as a juxtaposition between the tree’s vibrancy and a collision of brass, bronze, and worn-wood surfaces, the lounge offers cocktails such as the Willow (Ketel Peach & Orange, elderflower, lemon, Champagne), the Habitat (Tito’s vodka, Borghetti espresso, vanilla syrup, heavy cream, lavender bitters) and the Sweet Leaf (Avua Balsamo, poppyseed amaro, lemon, cucumber, basil), all priced at $12, plus a limited menu from The Beast Pop-Up Experience by Todd English. Open daily from 4 to 10 p.m." - Susan Stapleton
