Hell Square Gets a Drunken ‘Jingle’ with SYFY Pop-up Bar at The Skinny
It’s only fitting that one of the most rowdy of Hell Square bars is rebranded as “Jingle Hell’s.” Indeed, beginning tomorrow and for the next ten days, The Skinny bar on Orchard Street is masquerading as an “an anti-holiday pop-up bar” to promote SYFY’s new television series, HAPPY!
The cable network sure pulled out all the stops for the liquored-up stunt, swapping the illuminated signage and planting Christmas ornaments on the rooftop.
HAPPY! is a new series that follows the graphic novel of same, written by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson. The story follows a cynical hit man who all of a sudden starts seeing a relentlessly optimistic winged unicorn, aptly named Happy. It stars Christopher Meloni and Patton Oswalt.
Below is an update from the media advisory. You’ve probably also seen the handbills pasted all around the neighborhood. Think of it as a potential precursor to SantaCon.
