You'd need that space to go somewhere, so the rest of the floor would either need to be a meter thick, you'd need a big protrusion into the lower floor, or you'd have to have it on the ground level with nothing underneath.

You'd also be pretty locked into the floor plan layout, and there would be no place to put a TV screen that's visible from the whole seating.

Pretty cool looking, but also pretty impractical with modern buildings.

Like, people would just sit around, look each other in their stupid faces and talk? Gross. /s

It sounds like a nightmare, but I'm sure the coke helped.

The selection of board games at the time wasn't what we had now, but holy sweet fuck that place would be great to play Acquire
