Replay Lincoln Park invites Shrek Fans to “Welcome to me Swamp” Pop-Up beginning March 13

“Oh, and it is LOVELY. You know, you’re really quite a decorator. It’s amazing what you’ve done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a NICE boulder.” – Donkey

As Smash Mouth says: “somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me!” Ogres, Fairy Tale creatures and humans alike are being dropped off in Shrek’s swamp at Replay Lincoln Park, 2833 N. Sheffield Ave., for the bar’s newest pop-up experience: Welcome To Me Swamp. Opening to the public on Friday, March 13, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the Welcome To Me Swamp pop-up offers guests the opportunity to enter the world of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Lord Farquaad, Puss in Boots and the entire gang and be part of a heroic quest far, far away.
