“‘An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max, to… an office is a place where dreams come true.”— Michael Scott. Chicago’s favorite pop-up bar, Replay Lincoln Park, 2833 N. Sheffield, is bringing back its fan favorite pop-up so everyone can celebrate with their favorite coworkers at “Dunder Mifflin”. The wildly popular Back to The Office pop-up will return beginning Friday, April 9, and run through Sunday, May 16. Replay Lincoln Park will transform all 9,000 square feet of their space, including their outdoor patio, into iconic spots inspired by the show, and will offer an exclusive selection of Michael Scott-inspired cocktails and a themed food menu for guests to indulge in during their experience. Tickets are now available, and reservations are highly encouraged. Covid-19 restrictions will be practiced and protocols will be strictly observed to ensure the safety of patrons and employees.
The Back to The Office pop-up will feature a homage to some of the show’s best and funniest moments. With the Dunder Mifflin office as the featured area, guests can visit Michael’s office, the annex, the conference room, and the main office. Also highlighted is Schrute Farms, The Michael Scott Paper Company, Ryan’s Office, a mini Chili’s, and The Warehouse. Fans will also have the opportunity to enjoy a selection of Dunder Mifflin-inspired libations, featuring the That’s What She Said, featuring a long, hard seltzer topped Rose Vodka spritzer; and the Schrute Farm’s Beet Delight, a spice infused beet syrup, stirred vodka cocktail. Michael Scott’s Scotch and Splenda will also be available for the daring souls. Patrons will also have the opportunity to unleash their inner Stanley Hudson and celebrate “Pretzel Day”, with hot, soft pretzels available every day – not just April 26. Replay Lincoln Park will also recreate The Warehouse where patrons can shop fan art, t-shirts, and souvenirs.
“Fans absolutely loved The Office pop-up we’ve done in the past, so we knew that this was one that we had to bring back,” said Mark Kwiatkowski, owner of Replay Lincoln Park. “What better way to celebrate people slowly heading back into the office than actually going back to The Office!”
The Back to the Office inspired pop-up is 21+ and costs $20 per person with a $20 beverage credit, for a 1-hour reservation. Reserving ahead is highly encouraged due to capacity and social distancing restrictions. Please note, this is not an official event sanctioned by The Office.
