If you are a parent who also cherishes the magical realm of Harry Potter, you understand the thrill of introducing your children to this enchanting universe. However, there’s now a greater excitement: securing a babysitter so you and your fellow adult fans can embark on a journey to Canada to enjoy cocktails at a Harry Potter-themed bar.
The Lockhart: A Magical Escape
The Lockhart, named after the infamous Hogwarts professor Gilderoy Lockhart, is a new bar in Toronto co-owned by devoted Harry Potter aficionados, Alex Carter and Jamie Rivers. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary neighborhood pub, but anyone familiar with wizardry will quickly recognize it as a haven for Harry Potter enthusiasts.
As reported by Now Toronto, the bar’s interior is fashioned to resemble a contemporary apothecary, and a hidden Deathly Hallows symbol can be discovered within its walls. The drink menu features cleverly crafted concoctions such as The Shacklebolt, a delightful blend of ginger beer and spiced rum. Additionally, there’s a drink inspired by a particularly obscure Harry Potter reference, and a complimentary drink awaits those who can identify its origin.
A Thoughtful Tribute
The proprietors have made a concerted effort to honor the Harry Potter legacy without veering into overt gimmickry. Their drink selection includes a variety of house-made beers and imaginative cocktails, with references that are discreet enough for non-fans to appreciate. As one co-owner explained to Now Toronto, “Even without the Harry Potter themes, you’ll find this to be an impressive bar. You might notice a stag’s head on the wall and think, ‘That’s cool,’ while a Harry Potter aficionado would recognize it as a patronus.”
A Haven for Adult Fans
With the Harry Potter series having captivated audiences for over a decade, it boasts a sizable adult fanbase, yet suitable venues for these fans to gather without children are rare. The concept of a bar that thoughtfully integrates intricate elements from the books and films is a delightful alternative to waiting in line at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter for a Butterbeer.
While many of us may have to wait until we can travel via enchanted broomsticks before visiting such a bar, it’s reassuring to know that there exists a space where adult Harry Potter fans can escape and enjoy a peaceful evening away from the hustle of parenting.
