Tea service was available in the Clockwork Tea Room for an additional fee. Tables were ladenned with several types of tea, accompanied by both cream and sugar.

As such, bars decorated every major room in the hotel and were constantly flooded with guests as well.

Cleopatra Hookah of Los Angeles was also on hand on an outdoor patio for those guests looking for a feeling of the outdoor oasis amidst a large gathering of people. This area provided a safe spot to smoke hookah and watch the crowd from a distance. Food trucks peppered the outdoor patio, including a giant dragon pizza oven run by Dragon Oven. Goblins danced around the market place, hearkening folks back to the poetry of Christina Rosetti as if by accident.
