Yes, you read that right - and you can see from the picture above - there's a bar in Paris where the bartenders serve drinks in their pants. While we're tempted to write something about "those crazy French" at this point, we should also point out that Le Calbar also gets rave reviews for the drinks too.
And now those drinks - and those pants - are coming to London where they're popping up for one

... - Bubbledogs' Sandia Chang takes the reins at Chick n Sours for one night only
We love a good kitchen takeover, and while we've already seen Chick N Sours take over Bubbledogs, now it's time for the next event as Sandia Chang takes over the Seven Dials Chick n Sours.
On that one-night-only menu will be wings in a fiery chipotle maple glaze, and Cap’n Crunch fried chicken strips (these sound GREAT) as well as grilled Mexican street corn slaw, jalapeño popper wontons

Online retailer Merchant Gourmet (where you can buy all manner of pulses and grains) are getting into the restaurant business with a pop-up space in Islington. It's working as a companion to their website so, as you might expect, those grains and pulses are heavily featured on the menu.
While it's a strongly vegetarian affair, it's not completely veggie either with a few meat dishes cropping up. And for

Here’s a very special one for lovers of everything from the good old USA. For three days, Londoners will be able to temporarily transport themselves to New Orleans's legendary Galatoire’s, an elegant-yet-raucous restaurant popping up in Mayfair.
The pop-up will be operating out of five-star hotel The Beaumont, setting up in Corbin & King’s Colony Grill Room (one of Hot Dinners' personal fave spots in town).

Tucked in under the arches at Cambridge Heath is a pop-up inspired by travels around regional China - A pop-up Star Wars cantina is coming to John Lewis
While we still have to wait another FOUR months until The Last Jedi opens, that's not stopping them releasing all manner of Star Wars goodies from the film this Friday (aka Force Friday II). And while, yes, we may well have our eye on a BB-9E or two, it's the news of a pop-up cantina at John Lewis that's got us properly excited.
It's opening specifically for the midnight Force Friday event in the Oxford Street store
... - Seven courses of wallpaper-themed dining awaits you in Soho, courtesy of Pedro Passinhas
Off the Wall & Onto the Plate sounds a bit Willy Wonka-esque if you ask us, but that’s the name of a new ‘decor-inspired’ pop-up coming to Soho’s The House of Wallpaper. So yes. The menu is entirely inspired by wallpaper. All seven courses of it.
But what, exactly, constitutes food that is wallpaper-esque? Leave it to experimental chef Pedro Passinhas who’s managed to dream up

... - Bento box pop-up Mission Sato comes to Old Street and Bermondsey from ex-Story chef
Bento boxes are always a reliable go-to when we’re in a Japanese restaurant, with their comforting array of rectangular portions that guarantee you a little bit of everything. About time they took a turn in a spotlight, which is why we’re delighted to hear about a new Bento box pop-up called Mission Sato, which opened earlier this month. And not only that, but the man behind it is Angelo Sato, who previously worked
