The Brick Bar pop-up is touring cities across North America in 2019.
Philadelphia is in for another unique pop-up bar experience this fall — a drinking establishment built out of a million Lego pieces.
The Brick Bar, a pop-up that began touring internationally last month, has dates set for Philadelphia right around Thanksgiving time, from Friday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, Nov. 24, the organizers confirmed on Friday.
The pop-up is expressly not affiliated with the LEGO brand, which does not seem to be thrilled with the concept.
The Danish toy company told Eater Montreal — the bar has dates scheduled there — that it doesn't want to be aligned with the pop-up.
"As a manufacturer of children’s toys, it is not within our remit to partner with brands or individuals operating the food and beverages sector," the company said in a statement. "Our primary focus is on inspiring and developing children through providing fun and engaging play materials."
Fair enough, but everyone else can enjoy drinking out of Lego-style juice boxes.
Photos from some of the pop-up's early stops look like the Brick Bar will be a fun environment around the holidays.
