Last week we told you The Whippersnapper bar off Dallas’ Henderson Avenue was being transformed into a BAR-bie themed popup. The makeover is in honor of Warner Bros.’ “Barbie” blockbuster, which has scored more than $1 billion in worldwide box office—and it’s being officially unveiled tonight.
For an early look, here are some scenes from the popup’s Thursday preview:

As we noted last week, Whippersnapper co-owner Phil Schanbaum is the co-founder of This & That Hospitality—which also owns Sfuzzi, Ferris Wheelers, High Fives, Double D’s, and Tiny Victories. He’s helped oversee many pop-ups at The Whip, including other pop-culture odes to “Game of Thrones,” “The Simpsons,” “Breaking Bad,” and more.
The pop-up BAR-bie will splash its pink excess all the way through Saturday, September 30, featuring custom cocktails like “Life in Plastic” and “He’s just Ken” plus a Barbie’s Burger, Teresa’s Tenders, a California Club, and other themed menu items.
