"The Whippersnapper on Henderson Ave. has transformed itself into Whipperfell, a bit of Westeros that no one knew existed and will be around until October 15. Among the recreations of Game of Thrones sets, order up a Westeros ale or Milk of The Poppy cocktail, eat a Dothraki Burger or Little Fingers & Dragon Eggs, and, of course, get yourself a pic on the Iron Throne (or something very like it). This pop-up is open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 6:00 pm until 2:00 am." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Whippersnapper will transform into Moe’s Tavern, Homer Simpson’s regular happy hour haunt, as part of a Simpsons-themed pop-up starting on Friday, June 11, and lasting for two months." - Brittanie Shey
"Starting next week, popular Knox-Henderson watering hole The Whippersnapper will pay homage to the everyday lives of sitcom stars on The Office. The Whippersnapper, located at 1806 McMillan Avenue, is on a pop-up streak as of late. Last year the bar temporarily transformed into temples to Harry Potter and Family Guy. Its latest theme is all about the long-running NBC series that made a mockery of the 9-to-5 set with the help of boss Michael Gary Scott (aka Steve Carell). To get into theme, The Whippersnapper will close for a days-long revamp starting Sunday, January 5, and reopen as Dunder Whiplin Inc. Beverage Company on Thursday, January 9. The name is a riff on the faux Dunder Mifflin Paper Company the show’s characters worked at in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The cheeky bar will run a little over a month, until Saturday, February 15. Hours are Wednesday to Saturday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Details on the themed food and drink menus are slim for now, but expect employees to be parading around in the same ill-fitting suits and ties characters sported on the show. The team also promises photo booths and murals from local artists from the show. The Whippersnapper comes from Dallas-based This & That Hospitality, the prolific bar group behind High Fives, Tiny Victories, Ferris Wheelers, Alice and Dibs on Victory." - Tierney Plumb
"Whippersnapper, located at 1806 McMillan Avenue, will reopen this week as The Leaky Cauldron from the Harry Potter series of books, featuring a nearly identical exterior façade and interior design as the original. In Dallas, The Leaky Cauldron will feature themed drinks, photo ops, nightly entertainment, and more Harry Potter additions. It will run from August 8 to September 7, with operating hours Wednesday through Saturday 6 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Alaena Hostetter
