If you’re a parent who also happens to have a serious love for all things Harry Potter, you know that sharing the magic of the wizarding world with your kids can be thrilling. However, there’s a new level of excitement: finding a sitter so you can jet off to Canada and enjoy a drink with your fellow muggle moms at a Harry Potter-themed bar.
Introducing The Lockhart, a Toronto bar co-owned by devoted Potter fans, Alex Harper and Jamie Lane. To an outsider, it may look like your typical neighborhood pub, but anyone with a bit of wizarding knowledge will quickly realize it’s a paradise for Harry Potter enthusiasts.
As reported by Now Toronto, the bar features a design reminiscent of a modern apothecary, with a hidden Deathly Hallows symbol cleverly tucked away somewhere in the venue. The drink menu boasts delightful Potter-themed concoctions like The Shacklebolt, a delicious blend of ginger beer and spiced rum. They even offer a drink inspired by an obscure Harry Potter reference—guess the reference correctly, and you’ll score a complimentary drink.
The owners have made a concerted effort to honor the Harry Potter universe without making the establishment seem overly gimmicky. Their drink offerings include a variety of house-made beers and creative cocktails that are subtle enough to appeal to non-fans. As one owner mentioned, “Even without any Harry Potter knowledge, you’d think this is a cool bar. You might spot a stag’s head on the wall and think, ‘That’s nice,’ but a Harry Potter fan would recognize it as a patronus.”
The Harry Potter series has captivated readers for over a decade, creating a strong adult fanbase. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to find a venue where you can geek out about your favorite moments without being surrounded by children. A Harry Potter-themed bar that nods to the intricate details of the books and films is a refreshing escape for those of us who prefer not to wait in line at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World for our Butterbeer fix.
While many of us will likely have to wait until we can travel via enchanted broomsticks before we can plan a special trip just to visit a bar, it’s comforting to know there’s a haven where grown-up Harry Potter fans can step out of the cupboard under the stairs and indulge in a relaxing evening away from the kids.
