A Pop-Up of ‘The Bear’ Restaurant Premieres at San Diego Comic-Con

Among the activations set to take place around town during San Diego Comic-Con is a pop-up of The Bear, the Emmy-winning, FX-produced hit television show that gives a no-holds-barred insider’s look at the culinary industry.

Season 3, which dropped on Hulu in June, follows Carmy, Sydney, and crew in and out of The Bear’s namesake fine-dining restaurant, whose interior has been recreated for the pop-up, located on the lawn across from the Hilton Bayfront downtown alongside a cluster of other pop-ups and photo ops from FX shows like What We Do In the Shadows and American Horror Story. Running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 25, and continuing through Sunday, July 28, the interactive pop-up is giving away a chef’s menu special — aka exclusive merchandise — that will change daily.

The pop-up restaurant, decorated with photos from the show, features a dining counter where the staff presents fans with a silver cloche, lifting the dome to reveal the day’s merch item. Thursday’s is a branded apron, available while supplies last.

The pop-up’s hours of operation through the weekend are:

• Thursday, July 25, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Friday, July 26, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, July 27, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Sunday, July 28, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Admission is free, although attendees must be at least 18 years of age to participate.
