The same events agency that will host a Harry Potter-themed Wizards Brunch in August will also bring the traveling anime bar to Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood from November 3 to 24.
As any master trainer knows, it’s never too early to start scouting the next big catch, and the $55 tickets for the first-come, first-serve pop-up are already on pre-sale.

Local
Although actual poké will not be served, visitors can gobble down a colorful Pokémon burger made to look like notable characters.
With the Pikachu burger possessing the same yellow hue, adorable face and spiky, black-tipped ears, attendees may find the resemblance a little too close for comfort.
Participants can also prove their dedication and undying loyalty to the fandom by competing for prizes in costume and trivia contests. If you don’t win -- and you are of age -- feel free to drown your sorrows and dashed childhood dreams in a themed cocktail.
PokéBar will welcome guests of all ages, but minors must be accompanied by someone who is at least 21.
