'Warcraft restaurant' opens in Beijing

11 Comments

The world's obsession with World of Warcraft has gone a step further, as the doors of a 'World of Warcraft restaurant' open in Beijing, China.

The interior of the dining room is totally inspired by Blizzard's MMO, with ceilings and walls littered with artwork from the game. Giant plasma screens even display footage from WoW, and the entrance is designed as a real-life recreation of the game's opening menus.

The menu selection is even named after characters from Blizzard's game and the dining area is called the Hall of Snow Storms. Epic.

The owner of the restaurant said he created the WoW restaurant in the hope that people who share his enthusiasm for the game would find a "comfortable gathering place". Other than the Games Workshop we reckon.

We've got a feeling this isn't official. Get some lunch here if you're in town before Acti-Blizzard stamps it down.
