Yes. Just yes! Are you a Gen X'er or Millennial? Do you miss being present in one of the best decades to have ever existed? Then this is your place to travel "Back In Time" to the decade that brought you your amazing memories such as ALF, Pee Wee Herman, Pac Man, and the most amazing music ever - read Cyndi Lauper and David Bowie.
As you enter The Delorean, you are greeted in a 1980's record shop from what only can be described as an homage to "Pretty in Pink"'s classic record store, Trax. Once you check in for your reservation - which you MUST have - you are invited back into the place through a "hidden door". Everything in this place down to the snacks and drinks you can order pack a punch of totally 80's radness.
Must haves here include: the Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls and the Cuckoo for Cocoa Martini. Yes, they use cocoa puffs for the rim!
Their snack menu has a variety of 80's totally tubular awesomeness including Pizza Rolls, Dino Chicken Nuggets, Cheese Curds, and Breaded Mushrooms. All served up in a traditional 80's style aluminum TV dinner tray.
The drink menu is not grody to the max either. You can find a fun signature cocktail that will meet almost drinking preference. The only thing missing from the menu is TAB. I ordered the Ivan Drago - their take on a White Russian and it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk after all the cereal is gone. Take a chill pill, this is not a bad thing at all.
Will absolutely go here again and continue to relish in my need for nostalgia of a more simpler time. I didn't want to go Back to the Future after trying out this new spot along Broadway. Westword 100's bars, you were right on this one. The Delorean is a bar I didn't know I needed and now I can't live without!
Pro tip - dress up from the 80's and you'll get a free Marty McFly shot. Hello, McFly, this is obviously a must, like oh, my god! Later nerds.
