Raise your glass of rosé and be ready to step into the Bravo reality TV world in real life at a new themed cocktail bar inspired by hit shows “Real Housewives,” “Vanderpump Rules” and “Below Deck.”
Drenched in pink hues, flowers, neon and diamonds, the Diamonds and Rosé Experience by Bravo in West Hollywood runs through mid-October.
“We’ve created this super fun bar experience revolving around their legendary TV shows,” said Derek Berry, president of experiences for Bucket Listers, which also created pop-ups The Golden Girls Kitchen and The Malibu Barbie Cafe.
“There are photo moments from the shows; there are themed menu items, brands owned by the Bravo celebrities like tequila, seltzers and other liquors. It’s a 360 moment immersing you in the world of Bravo,” he added.
As people enter the space they will get a glass of rosé as part of the ticket and they’ll see the first photo op, which is a floral wall featuring the Bravo quote bubble logo. There’s also a photo wall of various Bravo celebrities with neon quotes on the walls from some of the shows’ most memorable moments. There’s also a chance to recreate an iconic reality TV moment.
Back in the Season 1 finale of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” Teresa Giudice famously flipped a table at a restaurant during a heated discussion. A re-creation of that table flip is at the pop-up bar.
“The best moment of the whole experience, everyone loves this, is Teresa’s table flip moment, so you get to do that, and there’s a big sign behind it that says ‘engaged 19 times,’ which is the thing she says right before she flips the table,” Berry said. “You don’t actually flip it — it’s halfway flipped and you stand behind it and make it look like you flipped it. So it’s a fun photo moment,” he explained.
The cocktail menu features drinks honoring the shows including a Belvedere and soda in a short glass with three lemons, carcass out, inspired by Dorit Kemsley of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”; and a Pumptini made the same way they create them at Sur, which is featured in “Vanderpump Rules.”
The cocktail bar will also serve food, and Sundays will feature Bravo-themed drag shows, plus trivia and bingo on select Thursdays.
“We just want people to come in and celebrate their love of Bravo,” Berry said.
