Like an RV screeching through the New Mexican desert, this pop-up bar is prepared to entertain and inebriate those who can make it out to New York City.
PSFK.com reports a popular temporary soiree thrown by creative agency Lollipop is about to have every "Breaking Bad" fan screaming that expletive-laden Jesse Pinkman catchphrase.
It's called ABQ bar, a hat tip to the Albuquerque setting in which the hit AMC show was based over the course of five seasons.
This is no regular bar, however. It's festooned with nods to the show and is even staged in a recreational vehicle akin to the one Pinkman and Walter White worked out of-an inordinate amount of time in their underwear.
As we had previously covered, ABQ kicked off to grand results in London and then Paris.
When the London rollout occurred during 2015, the cost of entry was £30 and promised accommodations for about 20 people in the RV. Officials are playing things a bit close to the vest as pertains to the New York iteration of this bar, however.
What we do know is it sounds like one amazing time. According to PSFK.com, patrons will get a cocktail to start the evening from bartenders wearing hazmat suits. (This would be the one and only time you should ever accept a concoction from someone donning a hazmat suit.)
From there, the night turns from sampling the goods to making them yourself-in this case the legal kind of cocktail. Said bartenders will help you fine tune your own libations as you utilize barware that looks like you are in a chemistry setting.
Lollipop founder Seb Lyall tells the website this "Breaking Bad" venture has been a blast: "No doubt ABQ is one of the most interesting and fun projects we have built in the last few years."

We should warn that this is obviously a popular enterprise, however. ABQ New York has already received 12,000 applications from people wanting to enjoy the bar and it hasn't even announced an opening date.
All we know is that it will launch in New York (no specific location yet) at some point in July. There is no mention of cost or how long this bar will run, but that hasn't stopped thousands from virtually queuing up for a chance to cook like Heisenberg.
You can fill the next few weeks by getting your own name onto the list and hoping you luck out. If you need something to do, a month is a perfect amount of time to re-binge watch the series.
