If there’s one thing Chicagoans apparently can’t get enough of, it’s themed pop-ups.
Later this year, Brick Burger is coming to town for a unique dining experience built around the world of LEGO. Guests will be able to indulge in fun, gourmet burgers at an immersive pop-up restaurant on Michigan Avenue from September 23-24. Hosted by Explore Hidden, the family-friendly concept promises to deliver inventive sandwiches—packed with either a crispy chicken filet, beef or vegan patty—in a whimsical setting. The buns will be colored and shaped like LEGO’s iconic plastic bricks.
In addition to just offering themed food, Brick Burger will sport colorful brick walls, LEGO-style furniture and a brick-building station where you can show off your imaginative designs. There will also be brick-building competitions with the opportunity to win some prizes. Tickets are $47 per person and include one burger and a drink, whether it be a soft drink, beer or wine. You can sign up to be notified when bookings go on sale on the event site.
Brick Burger is also making stops in other cities such as New York, Boston, Cleveland, San Diego, Austin, Indianapolis and Columbus. It comes on the heels of similar nostalgia-driven pop-ups that will take place in Chicago—The Golden Girls Kitchen and The Malibu Barbie Cafe, which are launching in May and June, respectively.
