With certain TV shows, a location can almost become its own character within the show. And now, fans can experience one of the most iconic locations of The Simpsons in their own backyard – in a rather unique way.

An inflatable version of Moe’s Tavern – based off of the fictional bar from the popular cartoon – is now available for preorder, courtesy of the Irish company Inflatable.Pub. If the idea of an inflatable bar sounds crazy to you, that’s okay. The company gained popularity last year for their Irish Pub-inspired establishments, which people can either buy to own or rent for special occasions.
“Effectively it is like a blow-up marquee, and made from the same material as a bouncy castle, but the interior will be an exact replica of the one in The Simpsons.” explained a representative for the company. “We are even hoping to be able to import and provide Duff beer like Homer drinks.”
If you want to try out the inflatable bar without purchasing one yourself, there are currently trial runs of the establishment happening in Los Angeles, London, and Dublin.
The structure – which is still in stages of development – will measure 23 feet by 23 feet and 11 feet tall. It is expected to hold around 60 occupants. While the inflatable Moe’s Tavern isn’t available for purchase yet, it will cost Simpsons fans around $4,500.
THE SIMPSONS continues to strike a chord with viewers for irreverently poking fun at anything and everything. As the longest-running scripted series in television history, THE SIMPSONS has become one of the most consistently groundbreaking, innovative and recognizable entertainment franchises throughout the world. With its subversive humor and delightful wit, the series has made an indelible imprint on American pop culture, and its family members – HOMER (Dan Castellaneta), MARGE (Julie Kavner), BART (Nancy Cartwright), LISA (Yeardley Smith) and MAGGIE – are television icons. Recently renewed for the unprecedented 28th season, THE SIMPSONS has won 31 Emmy Awards, a 2015 People’s Choice Award and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for the theatrical short “The Longest Daycare.” The series recently received five 2015 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Animated Program. “The Simpsons Movie” was a hit feature film; the mega-attraction “The Simpsons Ride” at Universal Studios has received historic expansion updates with the addition of Springfield added to the roster; and the show was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2000. It was named the “Best Show of the 20th Century” by Time magazine, and called the “Greatest American Sitcom” by Entertainment Weekly in 2013.
