The Cantina of Scum & Villainy is a new pop-up bar in
Hollywood that encourages patrons to indulge their passion for
dressing as their favorite science fiction characters.
"I wanted to build a place that geeks and nerds and cosplayers
could all gather and have a place to make pretend. In my head,
this is a playset and we are all action figures," the bar's
creator, J.C. Reifenberg told Reuters.
'Cosplay' is a contraction of the words 'costume' and 'play'.
Customers have grasped the opportunity - with elaborate costumes
inspired by cinematic aliens, robots and Star Wars' Princess
Leia.
"You truly feel transported into the galaxy far, far away and
that's what they're doing good is that you feel like you're in a
different place, like, totally," said Jamie Costa, a patron
dressed as Han Solo.
The bar, which borrows its name from a line in the original
"Star Wars" film, will be open until the end of June.
