Parks and Recreation Pop-up Bar Coming To Chicago

Parks and Rec fans, get ready to tour the hot spots of Pawnee, Indiana by way of a Chicago bar.

Replay Lincoln Park has been delivering the best pop-up themed bars as of late, most recently Bikini Bottom from Spongebob Squarepants. Their next genius idea is a Parks and Recreation pop-up.

Travel And Leisure is teasing Parks and Rec fans with their intel, claiming the pop-up will feature a "mini version of Pawnee, Indiana".

There will be photo ops at “iconic Pawnee destinations” including the Department of Parks and Recreation, Andy’s shoe shine stand, the Eagleton fence, the Pit by Ann’s house, the World’s Smallest Park (aka, the scene where Ben and Leslie finally got together for good), and Li’l Sebastian’s stable—supposedly, Li’l Sebastian himself will even make an appearance at The Harvest Festival. (Hopefully he doesn’t get lost in the corn maze this time.)

Some of the food options...

Paunch Burger, Paunch Chili Cheese Fries, Waffles with Whipped Cream, and Treat Yo Self Cakes, a buffet from The Glittery Factory.

Drinks...

“Give Me All the Bacon” (bacon-infused bourbon and maple syrup old-fashioned); a spiked lemonade called “Treat Yo Self” with Luardo Maraschino and Tito’s vodka; and “Galentine’s Day,” with passion fruit orange juice and Champagne, a Leslie Knope cocktail, which is appropriately made with whipped cream and topped with a waffle, while “The Tammy 2”—drink at your own risk—is made with frozen rosé and vodka. There’s a “Snake Juice” cocktail too (again, drink at your own risk), which has mystery ingredients, plus a Ron Swanson drink and a cocktail based on “The Reasonabilist’s Nectar of a Thought Sorrows.”

Of course, there will be live music from Mouse Rat and Duke Silver.
