\"stranger<\/a>You watched Stranger Things on Netflix and, let’s face it, you miss it dearly and can\u2019t wait to binge watch the second season in October. If you\u2019ve ever wondered what it would be like to experience the curious adventures in Hawkins, Indiana, this is your chance.<\/p>\n

According to Chicagoist<\/a>,\u00a0Emporium Arcade Bar<\/a> is transforming into a pop-up bar, The Upside Down (2367 North Milwaukee Avenue). It’ll feel so real that you\u2019ll be on the lookout for the Demogorgon. Enter the bar through the Hawkins Department of Energy and look up to see a table with Eleven\u2019s favorite meal, toasted waffles. The design also features the blinking Christmas lights, the Byers\u2019 family couch and all of the other ’80s awesomeness featured on the show.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get too excited and forget about the alcohol. There will be drinks that are inspired by the sci-fi sensation. Specifically, seven cocktails, two slushies\u2019 and kegs of Goose Island\u2019s GI5-5538 available for purchase.<\/p>\n

There also might be a few musical performances (S U R V I V E, maybe?) and mystery guests to look forward to.<\/p>\n

The pop-up opens TONIGHT and is scheduled to run through September.\u00a0Dress up as your favorite character from Stranger Things and spend your weekend in the Upside Down. We have a feeling we\u2019ll be seeing a lot of Barb.<\/p>\n

Hours: Wednesday \u2013 Friday, 5pm to 2am;\u00a0Saturday, 12pm to 3am;\u00a0Sunday, 12pm to 2am<\/p>\n
