For Harry Potter fans, butterbeer reigns supreme. This fictional ale has earned a prized place in Harry Potter fandom, with many restaurants, bars, and festivals attempting to recreate this little-bit-like-less-sickly-butterscotch drink. In Ohio, there's a pop-up bar that needs to be on every Potterhead's radar. Now through Oct. 31, Potter fans can visit Pennifold's Pub, a Harry Potter-themed pop-up bar serving butterbeer and streaming the Quidditch World Cup in Cincinnati, Ohio.

For those who have ever dreamed of imbibing the delicious and sweet brew known as butterbeer, Pennifold's Pub is bringing this mythical drink to the lucky masses of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Now through Oct. 31, fans can enjoy a nostalgia-filled trip into the wizarding world of Harry Potter at Cosmic Gorilla's "Pennifold’s Pub" pop-up bar, located in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.

The "fictional-yet-whimsical bar" in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosted by Cosmic Gorilla, isn't merely a comic shop/bar; it's a place of real-life whimsy where anything can happen.

This spot is known for hosting funky events and fetes, and "Pennifold's Pub" is the latest fantastic foray.

The pop-up offers eight unique cocktails (all available as mocktails) in an immersive environment sure to transport visitors to the pubs of England and Ireland. And for young HP fans, kids are welcome before 9 p.m.!
