Willy Wonka pop-up bar opens near downtown San Antonio

• The event lasts until Sunday.

What they did: Along with whimsical, Wonka-inspired photo opportunities set up throughout the bar, Porta Rossa created a specialty drink menu since "candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."

• The drinks are fun references to the classic Roald Dahl children's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" like "Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries" and "Violet You're Turning Violet."

Yes, but: There aren't any fizzy lifting drinks, unfortunately.

How it works: Porta Rossa does not charge a cover to experience the pop-up, but guests who want to be a good or bad egg in private can pay $40 (before fees and taxes) for a group tasting experience happening Thursday night.
