The Drunken Clam and the Giggity Golf course are open for business as “Family Guy” lands in downtown Los Angeles this fall.
The Family Guy Experience, a new pop-up that recreates the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island — which is home of the Griffin Family on the long-running animated series — opened last week in conjunction with the premiere of the Emmy Award-winning show’s 22nd season on FOX.
“I always wanted to do a cartoon-based experience and bring it to life,” said Derek Berry, director of experiences at Bucket Listers, an online events company that’s also been behind other pop-up experiences like The Golden Girls Kitchen and the Malibu Barbie Dream Café.
“When we pick some of these pop-ups, we always look for something that has longevity and staying power and when something can be on that long it really stands the test of time,” he said.
The latest pop-up is anchored by Giggity Golf, a miniature golf course named after the “giggity, giggity, giggity!” catchphrase spoken by Quagmire, the Griffin’s bachelor neighbor on the show.
Golfers can putt through miniature recreations of the town, as well as life-size replicas of the Griffin home, including the living room and bedrooms. Guests will also see memorable moments from the show depicted on the course, like the epic fight between Peter Griffin and the chicken and catch a glimpse of the evil monkey who regularly torments Chris Griffin, too.
After a round of mini golf, fans can walk into The Drunken Clam, the show’s bar where Peter and friends hang out in their favorite booth.
“You get to walk into The Drunken Clam and it’s completely recreated and identical and it’s such a fun moment,” Berry said.
The bar will serve specialty themed cocktails including the Shut Up Meg, Cool wHip and The Evil Monkey. Fans can also order up dishes like Peter’s Jelly Donut Burger, Not Joe Nachos and the Spooner Street Corn Dog.
