With the reopening of indoor dining in Chicago, arcade bar Replay Lincoln Park is inviting guests back for a dysfunctional family gathering, a la TV’s best (worst?) family: the Roses from “Schitt’s Creek.”
Beginning Friday and running through April 1, the pop-up experience channels the best of Schitt’s Creek — the show and its fictional setting — with decor from the Rosebud Motel, Cafe Tropical, the famous town sign, Moira’s “wig wall” and more. Of course the pop-up includes themed food and drinks as well, such as Moira’s favorite “Ahn-chiladas” — the secret is folding the cheese — Lovebird Wings, Lover’s Messy Sloppy Joe Eat-A-Thon, Cafe Tropical Mozzarella Sticks, Rosebud Cinnamon Buns and Schitt Fries, which, the bar notes, are better than Elmdale fries.
Replay has been the frequent site of pop-culture-themed pop-ups, such as a Star Wars bar, the Central Perk coffee shop from “Friends” and a Moe’s Tavern theme from “The Simpsons.”
From Wednesdays through Sundays, Rose Apothecary, the business run by son David Rose and his boyfriend, Patrick Brewer, will be set up at Replay to sell goods from actual Chicago vendors and artists.
Reservations cost $20, which gets applied as a $20 drink credit. Up to six people are allowed in group reservations. Check the Tock page for availability and more details.
