'The Big Lebowski' Pop-Up Bar Launches

In case you weren't excited enough at the prospect of a DC Universe eatery coming to London soon, Chicago is currently home to The Dude's Abode, a pop-up restaurant themed around the cult classic The Big Lebowski.

They've taken over the area upstairs at the Rookery on West Chicago Ave, and created "the dream world of The Dude," where fans can enjoy Big Lebowski-inspired food and cocktails like "Bunny's Toe," "STFU, Donny," and "World of Pain," as they put on some Creedence, kick back, and enjoy some Smirnoff, Kahlúa and Cream on the rocks and The Dude Burger.

"I'm a film buff and collect memorabilia from the movies I love. I had half the stuff from Room 237: The Shining Pop-Up before we even thought of doing pop-ups," said Chris Montgomery, owner/partner of The Rookery, in the announcement. "I am a huge Coen brothers fan, and this is a fan tribute to one of my favorite films."

Featuring Big Lebowski-inspired specialty cocktails you won't want to spill, like a variety of White Russians for the different Lebowski tastes all unpretentiously crafted by The Rookery beverage director, Alex Brick.
