With pop-up events on the rise like never before, it was only a matter of time before someone had the sense to take the nostalgic pastime of the video rental store and turn it into a touring speakeasy that indulges all of the senses of every 80s and 90s kid- and for those at heart, for the younger folks.
After sold-out pop-ups in NYC, LA, Miami, Chicago, and now presumably Las Vegas, BUCKET LISTERS are bringing their Back 2 The Video Store pop-up to Sin City for a unique drinking experience inspired by the art of renting videos.
Per the website:
You’ll enter this hidden Video Store Bar and transport back to a simpler time – where Friday nights at the video store was an experience! From lava lamps to POG-playing stations & very memorable TV/Film scenes turned into photo moments, there is no shortage of things to blast you back in time!
Choose your movie-themed cocktails & libations of the night as you browse the video store shelves. All of the themed sections (Romance, Horror, Comedy) have been replaced with new sections such as “Cocktails, “Beer”, “Wine”, “Combos”, and the only difference here, is instead of pulling down a movie, now your selection off the wall, will be how you choose your drinks. There’s no cooler way to spend the night with your friends.
I’m going to be testing them and giving them bonus points if I just ask for a Dr. Challis and they give me a Miller High Life.
The pop-up is located in central Las Vegas and runs from March 25th to May 17th, with a ticket reservation required to enter. Each ticket includes a 90-minute reservation and a Y2K cocktail or mocktail, with plenty to keep you busy on the inside, including plenty of photo ops with props from your favorite movies, a retro arcade, and special nights that host Bingo, Karaoke, DJs, and, of course, for the cinephiles, Trivia Night!
Tickets are on sale now, starting at $17.80 per person, and you can grab yours by clicking here at Bucketlisters.com.
