Blockbuster is back: Video store-themed bar to pop up in LA as nostalgic tribute to 1990s culture
LOS ANGELES --The iconic video store is coming back to life - kinda.
Next weekend a pop-up bar officially licensed by Blockbuster will open its doors in Los Angeles off Melrose Avenue. The speakeasy bar is expected to bring you back to the 1990s with nostalgic VHS-filled aisles and cocktails inspired by films from the era.Registration for the pop-up event can be found here.
Admission to the bar starts at $29 per person, which includes one throwback cocktail. Brunch, offered after Dec. 10, costs $55 per person. At its peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, Blockbuster operated some 9,000 video stores throughout the world. Competition from streaming services among other factors drove the company out of business, and today only one actual Blockbuster store continues to operate, in Oregon.Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC.
