The pop-up bar will include immersive art and theater.

We all know the story: In the Wizard of Oz, the tornado-stranded Dorothy follows Oz's yellow-brick road to its capital, the Emerald City, in order to find a way home. Along the way, she makes true friends, overcomes challenges and gets her steps in.

If the story had been set in St. Louis, instead of Oz, it would probably be at least a little bit different. For example, it surely would have been a red-brick road with materials dug straight from the side of the Big Muddy itself.

But St. Louisans don't have to imagine what might have been an alternative version of the film much longer. Instead, they can just head over to the new immersive pop-up bar Emerald City. Held at Lemmons Restaurant (5800 Gravois Avenue) beginning on Friday, November 3, Emerald City will take visitors on a 90-minute trip "in the magical land of Oz." That translates to immersive art and theater plus two themed cocktails and an appetizer per ticket.

The show should go on for about two months, but tickets are available now starting at $40 for general admission. The pop-up is only for those 21 and older. More details and tickets at infinitewonderproductions.com.
