A bar thread in The Bar section. Do I get a prize?
Have A Duff Beer At Faux Moe's Tavern
Yes, you can order a Duff beer and a Flaming Moe while the temporary Lincoln Park watering hole is open through Halloween.

CHICAGO, IL — Fans of "The Simpsons" who are dressing up as Homer, Barney or one of the hundreds of characters from the long-running animated TV show will find a little piece of Springfield on the North Side this Halloween. Replay Lincoln Park has transformed parts of the arcade bar into the series' fictional watering hole Moe's Tavern, where everybody probably won't know your name — or their own names, for that matter — for a short time in October. That means connoisseurs of the Flaming Moe won't need to settle on the homemade, bathtub variety of the cartoon bar's combustible signature drink this year.
"We've re-created everything you love about Springfield's favorite bar, and will have special Simpsons-themed drinks for you to partake of, as well as at least a dozen different varieties of Duff beer," Replay said on its Facebook page in a post describing the pop-up bar.
Customers will be able to hang out in a three-dimensional version of the two-dimensional series through Halloween in the rear of the bar at 2833 N. Sheffield Ave. Hours are 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Thursday; 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday; and noon to 2 a.m. Sunday. Think of it like the end of the "Tron"-inspired "Treehouse of Horror" segment from 1995, except longer and better- animated. (Get Patch real-time email alerts for the latest news for Lincoln Park and Chicago — or other neighborhoods. And iPhone users: Check out Patch's new app.)
Other "Simpsons"-inspired cocktails at Replay's Moe's Tavern will include Red Squishee, the Pin Pal and even the Plum Floating In Perfume In A Man's Hat, "which you can get by calling ahead since it takes some prep work," the bar said on Facebook. (Check out the following "Simpsons" clip for background about that drink.):
Along with the drinks and decor, faux Moe's also will hold a free "Simpsons" trivia night Wednesday, with questions about only the first 11 seasons of the show. The trivia night also will feature a costume contest. A Replay Lincoln Park gift certificate, as well as "Simpsons"-related swag, will be some of the prizes available.
