This Halloween, fans of The Simpsons can dress up like Homer and drink like him, too. As the Chicago Tribune reports, REPLAY Lincoln Park—an arcade pub in Chicago—has transformed its rear bar into a Moe’s Tavern-inspired pop-up.

Patrons can enjoy “Duff Beer” and themed beverages like the “Flaming Moe” and “Frozen Squishee” while watching segments of Channel 6 newsman Kent Brockman on old-school TVs. Pay $1 extra, and you can even upgrade your beer to Skittlebräu, according to Chicagoist.

When visitors aren’t drinking, rabble-rousing, and griping about Ned Flanders, they can play classic Simpsons arcade and pinball games, free of charge. Before heading home, make sure to grab a free Duff Beer koozie, pose for a picture with a live Duffman impersonator, and admire the Simpsons-inspired wall and floor art.

REPLAY Lincoln Park opens at 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, at 3 p.m. Friday, and at noon during the weekend. Swing by any time through Halloween to experience Moe’s (although we don’t recommend making any prank calls first).
