'Stranger Things' pop-up bar in Chicago is so cool even Barb would be like 'Okay let's party'
If you live near Chicago and like demonic beings from other dimensions, mixed drinks, and waffles: you're in luck. A Stranger Things pop-up bar has opened and it is cool as hell.
Unfortunately, most of the show's cast will need to wait about a decade to check it out.
Located in Logan Square, "The Upside Down" is flooded with show references and themed cocktails, including a slushie drink with a waffle in it called "Eleven's Eggo's." The bar is a project by Emporium Popups, a company specializing in a "series of rotating bar/music/shop experiences."
Other custom drinks on the menu include the "Demogorgun," the "Snack Pack," and "Coffee & Contemplation."
Few details went unnoticed in the creation of the bar, which has a Byer's family Christmas light/multi-dimensional communication wall, a "Castle Byers" entrance and an entire section dedicated to the Upside Down, complete with ceiling furniture.
The bar will stay open through the end of September, and Stranger Things Season 2 comes to Netflix on October 27.
