Overview
Back in 1990, a Christmas movie took an eight-year-old kid, left him stranded at home for the holidays, threw in some bumbling crooks and delivered quite the festive gift. For the almost three decades since Home Alone first graced cinema screens, it has become an end-of-year mainstay — up there with eating junk food and watching rubbish, no doubt making Kevin McAllister proud.
In Liverpool come the end of this year, it's also going to provide the inspiration for the themed, pop-up watering hole that someone really had to make a reality at some point. At the Home Alone Christmas Bar, three things will be on the menu: celebrating the classic Macaulay Culkin-starring flick, getting into the festive spirit and alcohol.
Prepare to say "keep the change, ya filthy animal" if you're in the vicinity of the city's Cains Brewery Village, with the space featuring all of the Christmas trimmings — trees, tunes, decorations, a sequence of decked-out lounge rooms and Sinatra's crooning — plus themed cocktails. Whether you'll be required to outwit the bartenders to get a drink, avoid various traps or make sure the clocks are set to the right time is yet to be revealed, along with the opening date; however the folks running the show are also behind the well-received Ghetto Golf bar, so expect more than just a heap of toys thrown across the entryway.
