We’ve had first happy hour, but what about second happy hour?
Chicago’s premiere pop-up venue and barcade, Replay Lincoln Park, recently opened “The One Pop-Up to Rule Them All,” a new Lord of the Rings pop-up following the success of their Harry Potter concept. Replay is known for its elaborate pop-up bars complete with large structures, special menu options, and themed events. Its newest concept pays tribute to JR Tolkien’s classic tale.
The new LOTR pop-up features custom artwork and several Instagram-worthy photo opportunities with characters and settings from the popular series. Travel through the Mines of Moira, battle your way into Minas Tirith, and take refuge in the peaceful town of Rivendell all from the comfort of one of Chicago’s best barcades. Unlike our brave heroes, you’ll be able to walk right into Mordor and make it back to the Shire in time for second breakfast.

All that adventuring is bound to work up an appetite which is why Replay has teamed up with Zizi’s Cafe to provide a variety of hobbit-friendly treats. Indulge in Fried Po-tay-toes, Lord of the Wings, Frodo’s Dolma, Beef Lembas, Gandolph’s Corn Staff and Pippen’s Popcorn. If you promise you won’t go power-hungry, you can also try Onion Ring to Rule Them All. Just don’t disappear on us, yeah? 😉
Replay’s newest pop-up also features three distinct bars named after LOTR settings; The Prancing Pony, Minas Tirith and Mordor. Each bar has its own menu with delicious craft cocktails such as The Evenstar, Narya-Ring of Fire, Nenya-Ring of Water and Vilya-Ring of Air. One particularly delicious drink is The One Ring made with Makers Mark, Drambuie, cinnamon syrup and lemon juice. Yum!
