It’s 1997. “Titanic” is dominating the box office, “MMMBop” is on the radio, and you’re walking into Blockbuster Video to wander through rows and rows of rentable movies for this weekend. That nostalgic feeling is what the Back 2 The Video Store pop-up aims to evoke.
The speakeasy, located at the Downtown Wanderlust Wine Co. location, is open now through Sunday, Sept. 7. We got a sneak peek inside the space.
Inside, you’ll be transported into an homage to 1990s and 2000s pop-culture, with photo ops of “Clueless” and “The Terminator,” freestanding arcade games, and a bar serving movie-themed cocktails.
Each $22 ticket comes with a complimentary cocktail — which you order by bringing a VHS case to the bar — and 90-minute slot to explore the space. By the way, we ordered the “Jaws,” “Men In Black,” and “The Big Lebowski” drinks.
Psst — this event is 21+ only.
