Misters Add to Luchador Brewery Company’s Mystique

September 19, 2024 By Evy Hanson

In legendary lucha libra culture, a larger-than-life masked persona emerges from a cloud of mist to wow crowds with high-flying wrestling techniques. Lucha libre, Mexico’s vibrant and theatrical wrestling culture, is a beloved national pastime steeped in tradition and colorful spectacle with a mix of athleticism and folklore. Rooted in the 1930s, it features high-flying acrobatics, masked heroes (técnicos), and villainous rudos who engage in dramatic storytelling through combat. Luchador Brewing Company pays inspired tribute to the nostalgia of Luchador wrestling with its popular Coachella Valley location …complete with misters! This may or not be a coincidence, but we are happy to continue spreading these myths.

Luchador Brewing Company’s custom brew system comprises eight five-barrel brew tanks in Chino Hills and four ten-barrel tanks in Cathedral City. They have 15 rotating taps featuring a wide selection of beers & seltzers, all made in-house, and a solid selection of wine by the glass and bottle. Their in-house, interior food truck is named El Camión, a Spanish term that translates to “The Truck” in English. At Luchador Brewing, the name represents their in-house food truck that serves Mexican street food. The food truck located inside the brewery is central to the brewery’s unique dining experience, offering a menu inspired by traditional Mexican flavors. The concept aligns with Luchador Brewing’s overall theme, blending Mexican culture, street food, and craft beer.

“¡Viva la Lucha Libre!” –

This phrase celebrates the excitement and spirit of Mexican wrestling, translating to “Long live Lucha Libre!” Fans often chant it during matches. Luchador Brewing Company serves up the same excitement with its assortment of tasty treats.

Popular brews include:

El Lobo Mexican Wolf Lager – A flagship beer that supports wildlife conservation efforts through donations for every pint sold.
La Máscara – A smooth, flavorful Mexican lager inspired by traditional Tijuana flavors.
El Campeón – An IPA known for its bold hop character and balanced bitterness.

Popular menu items are:

Taco Al Pastor – Marinated pork roasted with pineapple, onion, cilantro, and guacamole, providing a classic flavor combination.
Carne Asada Fries – A hearty dish featuring seasoned beef atop crispy fries, smothered with cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
Luchador Dog – A specialty hot dog with bold flavors, offering a fun twist on the street food experience

Misters, Myths, & #CervezaMasMacho

The restaurant floor plan sports an open, creative, fun feel with plenty of seating inside and an outdoor area that gives a chill atmosphere vibes. Guests can enjoy a bite and a brew at Luchador’s long bar or on their lively outdoor seating area cooled by refreshing misters. Koolfog misters let off a plume of fog that invites lucha libre imagination while keeping visitors comfortable on the wrap-around patio. Super friendly staff provide excellent service to the hungry and thirsty crowds while encouraging folks to gather, socialize with friends, and hang out under the misters. So, grab your friends and head to Luchador Brewing Company, where you can channel your inner Mexican wrestling warrior and give cheer to lucha libre culture. You can even buy merch for the creation of your new alter ego…maybe a larger-than-life dancing and acro-wrestling phenom that has “arrived” in a cloud of mist. Saludos a Luchador!

Outdoor Misters Contribute to the Success of Hospitality Businesses

June 12, 2024 By Michelle Roe

Successful Palm Springs restaurant and hotel group F10 Creative is a powerhouse in the hospitality industry. Helmed by desert native Tara Lazar, F10 Creative is the force behind the popular trifecta Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs. Cheeky’s is a breakfast/ brunch destination with a can’t-miss bacon flight or bloody mary. Its complimentary restaurant, Birba, is an avant-garde, al fresco, Italian restaurant and cocktail lounge. Both Cheeky’s and Birba are situated on the Alcazar, a boutique hotel property located in the heart of the hip Palm Springs Uptown Design District. All three venues have achieved tremendous success, and all three spots demonstrate their attentiveness to guest comfort with the intuitive application of outdoor misters.

Hospitality 101: The Art of Making Guests Comfortable

An interpretive meaning of Hospitality – Receiving and entertaining guests in a way that makes them feel well taken care of. It leverages ambiance, service, and products or amenities to provide guests with the best experience possible.

Restaurants and hotels prioritize making guests feel comfortable to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience, fostering repeat business and positive reviews. They achieve this through a combination of attentive service, ambient design, and personalized touches. From the moment guests arrive, they are greeted warmly and efficiently greeted. The physical environment is carefully curated with comfortable seating, pleasant lighting, and soothing decor to create a relaxing atmosphere. Amenities such as clean, well-appointed spaces, high-quality linens, or beautifully presented dishes and accommodating dietary options in restaurants cater to guests’ needs and preferences. Staff plays a crucial role by being courteous, responsive, and anticipating guests’ needs, while extra touches, such as installing outdoor misters to refresh visitors in the desert heat, ensure every interaction contributes to a seamless and comforting experience.

Cheeky’s, Birba and Alcazar in Palm Springs

Scene and be Seen- Setting the Tone

F10 Creative has effectively set the tone with the highest standards of excellence in design, operation, service, and attention to detail at Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar. Their innovative world class menus, cool vibes, and modern, upscale ambiance provide a unique scene to celebrate and be seen.

Cheeky’s
Anticipate a wait when visiting Cheeky’s. It’s a well-known hangout for breakfast aficionados who are willing to brave the lines for a seat in this cheery eatery. Outdoor misters can be seen from the streetside, giving attention to hungry guests while giving staff a break from the hot Palm Springs sun.

Birba’s
Those seeking a casually elegant evening will not be disappointed with a sojourn to Birba’s. Delicious fare is served in a lovely garden area filled with lush greenery. White patio lights are weaved amidst basket-covered lights to illuminate the open-air building and it’s large, covered terrace. The dining area is a wonderful spot for a social gathering and can be enveloped in outdoor misters to create a visually stunning space while keeping guests and staff comfortable in the dry desert weather.

Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs
This 34-room boutique hotel is a chic gem in the Coachella Valley. The property has a Mediterranean flare, and guests can find a quiet space to relax, grab a poolside beverage, and chill. Walkways have outdoor misters so that guests are cooled to and from their rooms. Modern and stylish, it caters to sophisticated tastes and warms guests as a retreat within Palm Spring’s stylish enclave.

Outdoor Misters Make a Memorable Guest Experience
The implementation of outdoor misters plays a pivotal role in the success of restaurants and hotels by significantly enhancing the guest experience. By providing a comfortable and refreshing environment, especially during the hot summer months, outdoor misters make spaces affected by hot weather elements more inviting and enjoyable. This not only increases customer satisfaction but also maximizes the use of outdoor spaces, leading to higher patronage and revenue. Additionally, the pleasant ambiance created by outdoor misters can set a restaurant or hotel apart from competitors, fostering a reputation for excellence and comfort. Ultimately, outdoor misters are a valuable investment that can elevate hospitality establishments’ overall appeal and profitability.

Misting System Implementation at The Spa at Sec-he

May 21, 2024 By Michelle Roe

The Spa at Sec-he is located at Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza in downtown Palm Springs. The campus includes a tribal museum and an outdoor Oasis Trail and is considered an important cultural gathering place. The Spa is a celebration of the sacred healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring and is a central theme throughout the 73,000-square-foot wellness complex. The Sec-he Spa is a peaceful setting for guests to indulge in cutting-edge therapies and enjoy a host of amenities designed to pamper both men and women, including mineral baths, a eucalyptus steam room, a menthol sauna, aromatherapy showers, halotherapy salt caves, men’s and women’s whirlpools, fitness room, and flotation rooms. The outdoor environment features a resort-style waterfall pool, a zero-edge mineral pool, an outdoor whirlpool, and both indoor and outdoor dining, overhead misting, and waterfall fog effects.

Koolfog Contribution: Misting Systems for Cooling & Water Feature Enhancements
Koolfog designed, crafted, and installed several state-of-the-art custom misting systems for The Spa at Sec-he with attention to the ambiance, comfort, value, and technical innovation. Detail in creating a subtle sensory experience allows guests to see, hear, and feel a subtle mist that highlights evaporate cooling technology that leaves outdoor patrons refreshed without getting wet. The misting systems were placed for optimum utilization in heavy traffic areas and in places where guests would spend the most time relaxing poolside or enjoying the resort feel provided by the presence of several waterfall features.

Koolfog Production Details

4 high-pressure pumps to release water at 1000 PSI creates an evaporative cooling mist that lowers ambient temperatures.
Proprietary fog nozzles that create visual impact around water features.
The misting systems includes placement at VIP Cabanas, over an outdoor Dining area, on a tranquil outdoor patio, and a centerpiece waterfall feature.
Over 100 mist nozzles positioned for optimum cooling and sight view.

While the pumps are in gardens or outdoor areas, they are not in client view and are tucked into utility areas; one of the pumps is located on the rooftop.

Challenge:

Scheduling with multiple construction partners:
Koolfog was part of an integrated construction project, working alongside multiple trades to understand the customer’s goal. Communication and teamwork were very important to convey Koolfog’s solutions and seamlessly incorporate our design in different areas with different materials, including rock work, awnings, and other unique structures.

Hiding our misting systems from view:
To keep Koolfog equipment and components out of the line of sight, we developed a creative routing solution for the misting system distribution lines. In addition, the lines were placed strategically inside the waterfall. Our team was challenged with accessing the area within the water feature and ensuring the misting system remained hidden from view without risking the lines submerging during spillway operation.

Our team worked around many trade schedules while accommodating the need to access areas where we worked. For example, when installing misting nozzles and feed lines to the deck cabanas, our team needed to make sure that our installation still allowed for cabana shade curtains to be installed and ensured that any future open/close curtain movement would not get caught on the misting nozzles.

Success:

Koolfog’s design and application of misting systems is the result of our highly knowledgeable implementation experts. Our team’s understanding of the client requirements and ability to overcome challenges is a key to every project’s success. Selecting the finest quality materials to withstand years of use in varying operating environments (misting lines in chlorinated waterfall/pool water, for example), calculating required flow, placement, and angle of mist to create the desired effect, all work together to create a beautiful and cool atmosphere for spa guests to enjoy.

Restaurants with Misters. Si Bon! So Good!!

May 14, 2024 By Michelle Roe

Restaurants with misters are not a new concept for businesses in the Coachella Valley. Yet, they can make a big difference in getting folks in the door…and keeping them in their seats. The desert is bursting with culinary treasures. In fact, you can literally taste your way across the Coachella Valley. But businesses without misters can suffer in warmer weather, especially during those scorching summer months.

That’s because robust restaurant misters can signal:

The establishment is open by providing a highly visible cue.
Al fresco dining is an option.
The restaurant utilizes all its seating to move guests in and out – an important feature for popular restaurants with usually long wait times.
The restaurant is willing to invest in the details that keep guests comfortable.
A restaurant takes pride in all levels of its operations, indicating: “It’s cool to be cool.” And that’s good.

Si Bon Misters Are So Good
Si Bon is in Rancho Mirage. Even on the hottest days, Si Bon’s invites patrons into its busy eatery to enjoy the best Belgian-French inspired fine food and beverages in the most comfortable setting. At once modern and traditionally romantic, Si Bon is an intimate and unpretentious venue bursting with unique dishes, wine selections, and a relaxed ambiance that encourages visitors to stay, chat, and savor the café culture experience.

From the parking lot, visitors can see its misters cooling the air from between large shade sails that flank the café’s magical outdoor patio. Koolfog designed the misters for Si Bon to optimize the areas that could benefit from high-rise evaporative cooling wrapped around the outside ceiling rims. The awning misters that float a cool breeze over the sunnier part of the patio (and face towards a busy traffic street) provide a “can’t miss” visual impact while creating a cool space to chill. Classic French styled chairs, colorful art, natural material accents, big shade awnings, and a cool space for lingering over conversation and a café au lait represent quintessential French design detail.

Voila!! The Food Is Good Too!!
From crepes to homemade waffles and desserts, Si Bon serves up mouthwatering, delicate, and delicious dishes. It also offers scrumptious craft cocktails, Happy Hour sips, breath-taking Brunch menus, and special cooking demonstrations. In addition to off-site catering, Si Bon’s talented Chef Philippe Caupain hosts amazing cooking demonstrations where dinner with wine is served following an immersive presentation. Guest chefs may make an appearance on such evenings with a prix fix event dinner and wine combination set at $125 per person.

A Menu’s Taste of French Staples with a Desert Twist:

Si Bon Raspberry Margarita
With Patron Silver Tequila, Fresh Lime

Mexican ‘Truffle” Crepe
With Duck Confit, Porcini Mushrooms and Huitlacoche

Steam Black Mussels with Chorizo

Waffle Tartlet With Fresh Berries..a la Mode

Upscale. Chic. Welcoming Misters. The casual elegance and fabulous fare from this fine European bistro screams “Si Bon”.

Koolfog Donates Misting System to Planned Community Garden

April 11, 2024 By Evy Hanson

Photo by David Clode

Koolfog recently donated a high-pressure misting system pump intended for a planned community garden in the East Coachella Valley. The plan is to create raised beds for seedlings and plants with a misting system to help keep “crops and gardeners” cool in extreme desert temps. This intended community garden will promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging outdoor physical activity while educating those with access to the garden about the benefits of harvesting fresh produce.

The Rise of Community Gardens in California
Community gardens have become quite popular in California. California, known for its diverse climate and agricultural heritage, fosters a strong interest in gardening and sustainability initiatives. Community gardens offer numerous benefits to residents, including:

Reducing Food Insecurity: Community gardens provide fresh, locally grown produce, which can help address food insecurity in low-income neighborhoods. By growing their own food, community members have better access to nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Educational Opportunities: Community gardens offer educational programs on gardening techniques, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. They can also provide an opportunity to connect people to food systems by teaching them how food grows.
Environmental Benefits: Community gardens contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing food miles (the distance food travels from farm to plate), minimizing the need for chemical inputs, promoting biodiversity, and mitigating urban heat island effects.
Economic Opportunities: Community gardens can provide economic benefits by reducing household grocery expenses through access to free or low-cost produce. Additionally, surplus produce can be sold at local markets or used in community fundraising efforts.
Improved Mental Health: Gardening has been shown to have therapeutic benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Why A High-Pressure Misting System Pump Will Be an Asset to A Community Garden
A high-pressure misting system pump can be an asset to a community garden by enhancing existing watering methods, helping to regulate temperature, and provide a comfortable environment for people to gather. Proper hydration is crucial for plant health and growth and high-pressure misting systems atomize water into tiny droplets, which are easily absorbed by plants. This can lead to more efficient water usage compared to traditional watering methods. In hot climates, a misting system can help regulate temperatures within the garden by lowering ambient temperatures through evaporative cooling. This can create a more comfortable environment for both plants and gardeners to create a social gathering point that fosters a sense of pride and cooperation.

Supporting the Development of Community Gardens
Community gardens continue to be popular and are often supported by both local governments and grassroots organizations across the state. As the establishment of community gardens contributes to the creation of healthier, more sustainable, and resilient communities, Koolfog is pleased to support the gardens with robust high-pressure misting pumps and evaporative cooling technology that will enhance the environment in the East Coachella Valley and beyond.

The Best Outdoor Misting System Adds Depth to Palm Springs Building Make-Over

March 6, 2024 By Michelle Roe

The Flannery Exchange is a multi-use space located in the heart of Palm Springs Uptown Design District. It is a hub hosting a bevy of modern workspace, retail, and dining options, and it’s become a trendy gathering place for locals and visitors alike. It’s what we like to call a “true bubble” where depending upon your need, everything is available within reach. Want to grab a spot to catch up on email correspondence? Want to grab a quick bite, take in an art gallery or purchase a souvenir on premise? Planning a fun event and need a cool space? Every detail has been selected to appeal to distinctive tastes including the installation of the best outdoor misting system around.

What’s Old Is New
The Flannery Exchange has become a focal point and destination in Palm Springs’s Uptown Design District. This area is known for its amazing style, vintage buildings, retro-inspired boutiques, and consignment hot spots. Taking a cue from this hip environment, visionary Michael Flannery has found success in his work, play, shop, and dine concept designed to cater to “digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and ‘bleisure” travelers that crave an inspired workspace”. After transforming a run-down 1981 Bank of America Building (which doesn’t seem to have a very jazzy vibe), The Flannery Exchange is an up-cycled hub with definite flare.

Using Innovative Tech and Clever Design to Reimagine A Retired Property
This bright, 20,000 square foot “plaza”, offers short and long-term leases for office space, conference rooms, event hosting, retail space and more. Simple and clean lines define the furnishings that dot both the indoor and outdoor environment creating a quintessential Palm Springs feel. Modern and lux materials and décor are showcased with great lighting while providing multiple dynamic settings to get things done. Ease of use, support, and tech access to fast internet naturally blends with a desert lifestyle that appreciates amazing mountain views and fresh air. The models structure, housing amenities under one roof, is a brilliant way to capture the interest of not only a traveling or local business community but an inspired network of like-minded creatives.

Finding The Best Outdoor Misting System on A Rooftop Haven
One of the greatest spots to hang out, meet up, or set up a lap-top and chill is the Flannery Exchange Rooftop. The outdoor deck and patio space has ample room to spread out, take in the views, breathe in the fresh air, and take advantage of the warmth of the desert’s unlimited sunshine. Planned leisure activities, nighttime social events, and even a yoga class practicing on the deck are some of the goings-on that are accommodated. One of the features that makes this space cool and comfortable when hot temps rise is the installation of the best outdoor misting system designed, manufactured, and installed by none other than local Coachella Valley favorite Koolfog, Inc. Koolfog’s reputation for creating custom, cost-effective misting solutions is an easy choice as their team is also very skilled in meeting the challenges in seamlessly developing outdoor spaces. Reinventing and repurposing a vintage structure is a very complex endeavor and requires attention to deal. It makes sense that the best outdoor misting system was chosen to provide the cooling aspects of the Flannery Exchange.

Koolfog Celebrates the Re-opening of Jackalope Ranch Grill & Bar As Well As It’s Cool Misters

January 15, 2024 By Michelle Roe

Jackalope Ranch Grill & Bar is a Koolfog staff favorite haunt. Not only did our team design, manufacture, and install the custom misters throughout the property, but our organization has hosted several events at this unique venue. Now under new ownership, Jackalope Ranch has reopened, bringing joy to those who love the overall vibe, distinctive design architecture, and delicious food.

Let’s Start With The Ambiance & Design
The vibe at the ranch is as diverse as the different areas encompassing the property. Quiet elegance and warm, rich tones seamlessly blend with a vibrant bar scene and saloon-type environment. Think “Yellowstone” meets “Wild Wild West,” and you’ll get a chic level of taste to satisfy every palette.

The design architecture itself mirrors the sophistication of the property with earthy hues, natural stones, craftsman woodworking, and gorgeous bar shapes. There are large indoor and outdoor areas for partaking in the great food and beverages as well as a host of private rooms that are terrific for planning parties. In fact, Koolfog hosted one of their anniversary parties in a beautiful room that opened to a gracious patio with both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, used when the weather turns a bit chilly. But when the weather heats up…don’t worry; there are tons of misters to keep you cool so you can enjoy the outdoor ambiance!

A Cool Design With Even Cooler Misters
The grounds are simply gorgeous and a reason unto itself so take a ride out to the “Ranch”. Meticulously groomed for enjoyment, the landscape is dotted with lovely sculptures, “décor props” such as wagon wheels, and meandering paths that lead to pools, lush gardens and waterfalls. There is a large grassy lawn area that is often filled with special event tables (weddings, fashion shows, and more have been taken upon the lawn). There is also a large outdoor patio bar surrounded by misters making it the perfect spot to take in desert views. The misters are carefully crafted to cool outdoor diners and guests by using evaporative cooling technology. Strategically placed mist nozzles cool the ambient air while creating a misty, moody, atmosphere.

And Of Course, What About The Food & Beverages?
Smoky goodness, BBQ’s best, and farm-fresh ingredients mingle with craft cocktails and happy hour staples to create the basis for Jackalope Ranch’s highly curated menu. From shared plates to fine dining, the dishes give an ode to the flavors of the West, along with seafood selections. Western and Ranch styled names include “Cowboy Ribeye”, “Rodeo Burger”, “Ranch Fried Chicken” join yummy treats from the Side Saddle, Wrangler, and Stockyard Reserve menu sections. Future planned additions include a collection of Wild Game provisions (Bison, Elk, Ostrich & Boar inclusions) in a Beer Garden and a “Market” for “take-out” food and smoked and BBQ meats. So make your reservation (https://jackalope-ranch.com) to dine under the misters or grab a craft cocktail to watch the sunset in one of the coolest venues in the Coachella Valley.
