For those looking for a romp in the hay, or at least a meal in a horse's stall, the Buchanan Stables from One Life to Live would best suit your desire.
Because these are built like actual sets, they do not go all the way to the building's ceiling. Above the view line is a prop ABC camera and a backdrop that might be used in enhancing the scene.
Each set has prop pieces that enhance the mood of the dining environment. A wagon wheel, horseshoe bookends and photos of horses help convey the stables feel. A repeating soundtrack, heard throughout the restaurant, featured horses neighing and dogs barking in addition to theme songs from the soaps.
The restrooms could be reached through the Stables, so the signage indicating their location was appropriately themed.
DCA is peppered with clever details such as this trophy in the middle awarded to Victoria Lord Reily Burke Reily Buchanan Buchanan Carpenter - a funny roast to a soap character's frequent marriage and re-marriage.
