Originally a western-themed American bar and grille, this restaurant space has a new owner, brand identity, menu concept, different seating arrangements, and a new enlarged bar, requiring a new design for this Mexican restaurant – the site of the eighth Puerto Vallarta in Connecticut. The new interior space seats approximately 200 people, including 30 seats around a large bar - the largest of any Puerto Vallarta restaurant. QA+M Architecture provided design and construction administration services for an interior and exterior face lift to create an authentic Mexican restaurant, bar and outdoor patio. Custom architectural millwork included the bar and tequila wall. Interior design features include hand painted mural walls, decorative lighting, artwork, and accent pieces
