The Whippersnapper, a bar near Henderson Avenue, will soon have a pop-up event inspired by Game of Thrones.
The bar has had several pop-ups based on TV series over the years, including Friends and The Simpsons.
During the pop-up, The Whippersnapper will transform into Whipperfell in anticipation of the House of the Dragon series.
“Our goal is to bring the incredibly well-loved world of Westeros to life and recreate the magic for the dedicated fanbase of the series,” says Phil Schanbaum, a co-founder of This and That Hospitality, which is behind The Whippersnapper. “We’re excited to get people through the doors to see all their favorite characters and set pieces that make the show so iconic.”
Along with new decor — including the Iron Throne — are food and drink specials based on the theme. For example, there’s the Dothraki burger, dragon claws (chicken tenders), and the wing and tail sandwich (turkey sandwich).
Visitors will be able to sip on beverages such as Westeros ale (40-ounce High Life), the Iron Throne (Hendricks gin, cucumber/basil simple syrup, cranberry, garnished with sword and cucumber) and milk of the poppy (Rum Haven coconut rum, RumChata, cold brew).
The event runs Aug. 25-Oct. 15.
This and That Hospitality also operates High Fives and Sfuzzi.
