London's 'Breaking Bad'-Themed Bar Is Where Customers Cook Up Their Own Cocktails

At London's ABQ bar, you can get step into the shoes of Walter and Jesse in Breaking Bad by cooking up your own crystal meth-inspired cocktails (without the actual meth, of course).

The pop-up bar should look familiar: it's an RV with stripes along its side, two lawn chairs in front and smoke curling up from its top. Inside, you'll find customers cooking up their own cocktails, including one called Blue Meth Candy, which fans of the series will know references the meth cooked up by the characters on the series.

ABQ refers to Albuquerque, New Mexico, the setting for all of Breaking Bad's five seasons.

For around $47, guests can enter the RV and create two drinks with the equipment inside, which includes test tubes, petri dishes, beaker bottles of various solutions and trays of blue crystals. The inside of the RV's walls have posters with instructions on how to create a variety of cocktails with what's available. There's also a Walter White lookalike helping guests out if they get stuck on the chemistry.

"You and I will not make garbage," reads the website. "We will produce a chemically pure and stable product that performs as advertised — W.W"

It might seem controversial, offering a bar where people get to pretend that they are meth cookers, but the company behind ABQ is no stranger to controversy: they once had a bar in New York that featured drinking with live owls (eventually, though, they removed the owls after receiving complaints from animal rights activists).

If ABQ's bookings are any indication, the pop-up bar is a huge success: time in the RV is already booked up through August, with a limited number of seats available for September and October. The bar only plans on being around for three months, so if you don't get in the RV and cooking before then, you're probably out of luck.

Those interested in booking a seat on the RV can do so on ABQ's website.

This could be just the thing for those still torn up about the last episode of the series, which aired in 2013.
