Breaking Bad cocktail pop-up planned

A pop-up bar inspired by the hit US TV show Breaking Bad about a chemistry teacher turned drug dealer is inviting guests to “cook” cocktails in a converted RV.

The show’s stars Jesse Pinkman and Walter White

Named ABQ after the show’s setting of Albuquerque in New Mexico, the bar will open for three months from July with guests mixing up their drinks in a “lab” housed in an RV – as used in the show by drug dealers Jesse Pinkman and Walter White.

The event has been organised by Locappy, the company responsible for this year’s owl cafe in London. The concept, which invited guests to sip cocktails while petting live owls, caused controversy among animal rights activists with organisers eventually agreeing to withdraw alcoholic beverages from the menu.

Seb Lyall, founder of Locappy and the brains behind ABQ said: “We are always looking to give our community unique experiences. People of London demand and deserve something a bit more special and that is what we aim to do through our app and the events. We got inspired by this famous Netflix series and thought to do something unique on those lines. The RV is now being kitted out and will be able to house 20-22 people at one time.Visitors will be get a unique experience of “cooking” their own cocktails with the help of expert mixologists.”

Tickets to “cook” cocktails will cost £30, which includes two drinks and a “chemistry experience” lasting two hours.

Tickets will be released on a first come, first served basis with people able to register for the event here.
