The final season of Game of Thrones is coming, and the show is starting to cross over into the real world. For example, starting on February 1, Chicagoans can visit a Game of Thrones pop-up bar at Replay Lincoln Park, at 2833 N. Sheffield.

The tour kicks off on March 1. It runs on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m. and Fridays at 5:45 p.m. You can find out more here.
