The creative minds behind Bucketlisters, known for their successful ventures like The Golden Girls Kitchen and The Malibu Barbie Cafe, are delighted to introduce their latest immersive experience: the Back 2 The Video Store Speakeasy, debuting on Friday, August 25th.

This captivating pop-up endeavor will transport you back to the nostalgic era of browsing movie aisles before the age of streaming. However, there’s a modern twist: an exquisitely stocked bar offering a diverse range of cocktails and mocktails. With a vintage-style membership card in hand, guests can wander through the store, choosing their cinematic gem (paired with a themed beverage) inspired by iconic releases from the 90s and 2000s. Once a selection is made, it’s off to the counter where a skilled Videotender will craft the perfect libation, all without the worry of any late fees.

Adding to the excitement, the beloved Throwback Movie Club is set to make a triumphant return during the pop-up’s duration. A lineup of timeless classics such as Mean Girls, Back to the Future, Clueless, Good Burger, and more will grace the screen atop one of Wicker Park’s finest rooftops, promising an unforgettable cinematic journey.

Get your spot, here.
