Washington gets Game of Thrones inspired pop-up bar
Game of Thrones fans in Washington just got their very fist themed pop-up bars with the series’ soundtrack playing in the background.
The bar is operated by Drink Company, which transformed three of its four spaces, the Mockingbird Hill, Southern Efficiency and Eat the Rich, into Game of Thrones inspired scenes.
“To quote the great George R.R. Martin, ‘there has to be a level of joy of what you’re doing’ and we believe Game of Thrones is the seminal show of this decade,” says Drink Company CEO Angie Fetherston in a press release. “We didn’t have a choice; the three-eyed raven picked us. This PUB is our love letter to the Seven Kingdoms and we cannot wait to share it with fellow fans.”

At the Game of Thrones PUB, guests will visit scenes from the North, the Red Keep, Mereen, the House of Black and White, and the Throne Room.
In The House of Black and White, the Hall of Faces is replicated with plaster molds, while Daenarys’ Dragons are brought to life by Andrew Herndon and local muralist Andrew Funk.
The Red Keep features the Armory, where guests can pledge allegiance to their house banners, and take a picture as the flayed man on a custom piece built by The Strong Oaks Woodshop
Guests will also be served with special drinks with names inspired by the famous series. Customers can order cocktails like the “What is Dead May Never Die”, the “Lannisters Send their Regards” or the “The North Remembers” and enjoy them with the TV show’s soundtrack playing in the background.
“We began by thinking about what these fictional characters from Game of Thrones would drink, what cocktails would epitomize them and what moments should be represented,” says Bar Manager Paul Taylor. “We want our guests to connect the cocktails to elements of the show through name, ingredients, garnish, and glassware.”
And the Ommegang Brewery’s Bend the Knee, the official Game of Thrones beer, will be on draft, for die-hard fans.

The Game of Thrones atmosphere is completed by the presence of swords, dragons, horns, flags and the PUB also has an Iron Throne just waiting for fans to have their pictures taken on it.
