Celebrate Like a Hobbit at Chicago’s Exclusive Lord of the Rings Themed Bar

While entering Mordor is no simple feat, stepping into Chicago’s The Lord of the Rings pop-up bar is effortless—provided you’re 21 or older.

Replay Lincoln Park, famed for its intricate pop-ups inspired by Game of Thrones, South Park, and other popular series, has reimagined its space as a stunning Middle-earth replica titled “The One Pop-Up to Rule Them All,” running until March 23.

Step inside, and you can duck beneath twisted tree roots with a Nazgûl hovering above, exchange a high-five with a scowling Gollum, and capture memories with beloved characters from Lord of the Rings.

Consider skipping elevenses to save space for a hearty Hobbit-style meal. Zizi’s Cafe offers a menu filled with delights such as Fried Po-tay-toes, Lord of the Wings, Beef Lembas, and Pippen’s Popcorn.

As reported by Thrillist, the bar will feature three distinct counters, each offering unique drinks. Visit The Prancing Pony for a second breakfast shot (a mix of maple whiskey, bacon, and orange juice), or journey to Minas Tirith for a palantir shot, crafted with silver tequila and passion fruit purée. For those craving something darker, venture to Mordor and sample a “my precious” shot, blending dark rum, orange liqueur, and Cajun seasoning.

If you’re tagging along with Tolkien-enthusiast friends but aren’t thrilled by moss-covered Ent replicas, there’s good news: Replay Lincoln Park also offers over 60 free arcade games and pinball machines to enjoy.
