One-Million+ Blocks: The Brick Bar to Pop Up in LA

Ready to "click" with a limited-time hangout spot? The playful pub arrives in late May.

What to Know

  • May 31, plus June 1 and 2, 2019
  • Location to be announced
  • $25

Pop-up bars and Los Angeles go together like beer and foam, and each one, no matter how long it intends to stick around, needs a bit of planning, a bit of construction, and a hefty dash of imagination.

No pop-up up is just going to show up in a totally empty room, in other words.

Wait, strike that; given the number of pop-ups we see 'round here, that one's probably in the development stage.

But the limited-time tavern ready to click with Southern California in a few months will need a substantial amount of hours to come together, thanks to the fact that it is made from over a million LEGO bricks.

It's The Brick Bar, and if you've heard of it, then you're up on your London-cool, Sydney-style scene. The colorful experience has already visited the UK and Australia, and it will lend hue-happy oomph to the Los Angeles nightlife scene in very late May and very late June.

We weren't kidding about the "verys" there: The Brick Bar will be here for just three days, so best clear your quirky calendar for May 31, plus June 1 and 2, 2019.
