The Sixth \u2013 the acclaimed Lincoln Square cocktail bar from The Fifty\/50 Restaurant Group \u2013 will transform into \u201cHoney, I Shrunk The Pop-Up\u201d: a\u00a0Honey, I Shrunk The Kids<\/em>\u00a0inspired pop-up bar on Wednesday, August 26 and will end its run on November 1.<\/p>\n

The pop-up bar\u2019s theme is based on the trilogy of the \u201cHoney\u201d movies: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids\u00a0<\/em>(1989),\u00a0Honey, I Blew Up the Kid<\/em>\u00a0(1992), and\u00a0Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves<\/em>\u00a0(1997) starring Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski \u2013 the scientist whose experimental shrink ray miniaturizes his own kids and his neighbor\u2019s kids in the first movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, I Shrunk The Pop-Up\u201d will feature 14 movie-inspired specialty cocktails that are all named after famous lines and characters from the \u201cHoney\u201d trilogy from The Sixth\u2019s new bar manager Stella Miller. Miller was most recently the opening \u201chead bartendress\u201d of Michelin starred Y\u016bgen and worked there for eight months.<\/p>\n

The Sixth \u2013 located at 2202 West Lawrence Avenue in Lincoln Square \u2013 will be the \u201cHoney, I Shrunk The Pop-Up\u201d bar every day of the week from are 4pm until 11pm Sunday thru Friday and 2pm until 11pm Saturday thru Sunday. There will be 10 outdoor sidewalk patio seats, and 20 inside seats to comply with the City Of Chicago\u2019s 25 percent indoor capacity regulations. Operating hours Reservations must be made thru The Sixth\u2019s website (https:\/\/www.thesixthbar.com<\/a>). Guest reservations are limited to 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

The entire outdoor fa\u00e7ade and indoor cocktail bar space will be decked out in oversized d\u00e9cor, large-scale movie scenes, and socially-distant photo opportunities including six-foot tall toy dinosaurs that make the pop-up bar a truly immersive experience where the guests feel \u201cshrunk\u201d.<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s 14-strong \u201cHoney, I Shrunk The Pop-Up\u201d specialty cocktails are priced between $9 and $16, are broken down into three sections (Stirred; Shaken; Highballs, Oddballs, & House Drips), and include\u00a0Honey, I Shrunk The Kids<\/em>\u00a0artwork-inspired custom ice cubes made from The Sixth\u2019s in-house Clinebell Ice Block Machine. Most of Miller\u2019s \u201cHoney, I Shrunk The Pop-Up\u201d cocktails will be available for guests to purchase to-go in about two weeks. The full in-house cocktail menu is at the end of the press release.<\/p>\n

A cocktail highlight from Miller\u2019s \u201cShaken\u201d section is \u201cDad, Don\u2019t Eat Me!\u201d which is a spiced milk rum punch riff made with Plantation 3 Stars Rum, Honey Nut Cheerios house-infused cereal milk, and house toasted oat syrup. The cocktail is topped with a magnifying glass and caramelized Honey Nut Cheerios. As guests drink the cocktail the custom ice cube reveals Wayne Szalinski\u2019s children stuck in his Honey Nut Cheerios cereal bowl screaming \u201cDad, Don\u2019t Eat Me!\u201d from one of the movie\u2019s most iconic scenes.<\/p>\n

A cocktail highlight from Miller\u2019s \u201cStirred\u201d section is \u201cMr. Thompson\u2019s Reprieve\u201d which is a more complex riff on a Rob Roy with tobacco-smoked Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch, Carpano Antica, and Regan\u2019s Orange Bitters served in a Budweiser beer can. The cocktail\u2019s inspiration is from the movie\u2019s Russell Thompson Sr. character that sneaks outside to smoke cigarettes when he\u2019s stressed out. One of Mr. Thompson\u2019s lit cigarette butts becomes the torch for the shrunken kids to guide them at night while they stuck in the yard.<\/p>\n

A cocktail highlight from Miller\u2019s \u201cHighballs, Oddballs, & House Drips\u201d section is \u201cShrink Ray\u201d which is an upscale vodka-soda riff made with hibiscus house-infused vodka, Cr\u00e8me De Violette, and carbonated on the fly behind the bar via The Sixth\u2019s Perlini Carbonation System. The violet-hued cocktail also contains edible glitter and shimmers to mimic the shrink ray\u2019s powerful and colorful blasts from the movie.<\/p>\n

The Fifty\/50 Restaurant Group executive chefs Chris Teixeira and Nate Henssler created a whimsical food menu of small bites. Food menu highlights inspired from scenes and quotes of the movie are\u00a0oatmeal cream pie cookies, sliders, and<\/em>\u00a0\u201c<\/em>I Could Eat A Corndog The Size Of A Truck!\u201d which features housemade corndogs and fries served in the back of a large toy dump truck. The full food menu is at the bottom of this press release.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
