New Pop-Up Restaurant Brings Fictional '90s Favorite To Nashville

A fictional restaurant from several cult-favorite movies from the 1990s and early 2000s is opening a pop-up shop in Nashville until the end of the month.

Mooby's, most notably seen in films like Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks II, has transformed Tin Roof Demonbreun into a '90s haven thanks to the help of filmmaker Kevin Smith, News Channel 5 reports. Fans wishing to step inside the fictional restaurant can purchase tickets for the pop-up that will be good for dining in or picking up.

The Mooby's pop-up is serving a special menu of burgers, bratwurst, onion rings, desserts and drinks, including Mooby's beer. And because it's Nashville, they even have a "secret" menu item called the Hot Smoker, which is hot chicken, slaw and pickles on a potato bun.

Mooby's has also popped up in other cities as a way to support local businesses that were hurt by the pandemic. The pop-up in Nashville is working with several local businesses, including Tin Roof, Ole Smoky Distillery and Tailgate Brewery.

"One thing they're doing is working with local breweries," said Josh Griffin, general manager at Tin Roof Demonbreun. "So they're working with them, Tailgate created a product specific for this event so it's been great on more than just a Tin Roof front."

If interested in checking out Mooby's at Tin Roof, visitors are encouraged to make reservations, which can be done here. The pop-up is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. until the end of August.
