It’s definitely not healthy to drink like Rick from Rick and Morty, but dressing like Rick could help you experience a pop up bar themed after the Cartoon Network show coming back for a fourth season.
Drink Company is a D.C. company famous for pop up bars that pay tribute to the Royal Wedding, Game of Thrones and even the area’s cherry blossoms. But their latest will have plenty of Rick and Morty fans getting their best cosplay on in order to get inside the bar’s doors.
Washingtonian reported on Thursday that Drink Company’s latest project is a Rick and Morty-themed bar where dressing like the show’s functioning alcoholic scientist actually helps you experience the place faster. The bar, cleverly named Wubba Lubba Dub PUB, will be open from August 9 to October 6 in Washington’s
Drink Company’s CEO had some high praise for Rick and Morty, which still has at least 70 episodes in it over the next few seasons.
“I feel like every generation has their adult animated show,” Drink Company CEO Angie Fetherston said. “There are the Simpsons people, the South Park people, the Family Guy people. This is ours.”
The bar will have two entrances: one for people dressed like Rick Sanchez, and another for everyone else. Those dressed as Rick, though, will have to wait less time to get in and have a few other fun easter eggs at their entrance.
Special Projects team Matt Fox, Adriana Salame-Aspiazu, and Alisa Wyman have decorated every room in the space—which spans three bars—like a different dimension or world in the show. Some of it remains in 2D, while other components have been brought to life in 3D.
Costumed Ricks will enter into the family’s garage-turned-lab outfitted with an old washer and dryer plus shelves of scientific equipment. On the ceiling, you’ll find “real fake doors” and “plumbus” advertised on inter-dimensional cable (a cable box Rick invented to access TV shows in every dimension).
There’s a 7-foot tall Mr. Meeseeks behind a bar, an animatronic Cromulon asking patriots to “Show me what you got” and even an Anatomy Park bar complete with a “Pirates of the Pancreas” and Rick’s friend Reuben.
The drinks, of course, are straight from the show as well. If you want to enjoy a “Morty’s Mind Blower” (rosé, strawberry Campari, blanc vermouth, and sparkling water) or an “Existence is Pain” (gin, vermouth, blue curacao, coconut water, lemon absinthe) you’ll have to get yourself to Seventh Street in D.C. soon.
