I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.

For Harry Potter fans, butterbeer reigns supreme. This fictional ale has earned a prized place in Harry Potter fandom, with many restaurants, bars, and festivals attempting to recreate this little-bit-like-less-sickly-butterscotch drink. In Ohio, there’s a pop-up bar that needs to be on every Potterhead’s radar. Now through Oct. 31, Potter fans can visit Pennifold’s Pub, a Harry Potter-themed pop-up bar serving butterbeer and streaming the Quidditch World Cup in Cincinnati, Ohio.
For those who have ever dreamed of imbibing the delicious and sweet brew known as butterbeer, Pennifold's Pub is bringing this mythical drink to the lucky masses of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Now through Oct. 31, fans can enjoy a nostalgia-filled trip into the wizarding world of Harry Potter at Cosmic Gorilla's "Pennifold’s Pub" pop-up bar, located in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
The "fictional-yet-whimsical bar" in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosted by Cosmic Gorilla, isn't merely a comic shop/bar; it's a place of real-life whimsy where anything can happen.
The pop-up offers eight unique cocktails (all available as mocktails) in an immersive environment sure to transport visitors to the pubs of England and Ireland. And for young HP fans, kids are welcome before 9 p.m.!
In addition to butterbeer, there are some next-level cocktails that are true witch's brews, and their names are as fanciful as you'd imagine. There's the rum-infused Broom Drift, bourbon-forward Dopple Beater, tequila-spiked Polyjuice Potion, and...
...even Unicorn Blood! This drink is made with citrus vodka, Creme de Violette, Gran Gala, fresh blueberry juice, lemon, soda, and edible glitter. How fun!
Pennifold’s Pub is open select hours, Wednesday-Sunday; specific hours are listed on the website. But hurry -- this marvelous, magical mirage in Downtown Cincinnati will disappear when the clock strikes midnight on Nov. 1.
Well, it might not actually up and vanish, but you never know. Stranger things have been known to happen in Harry Potter's world.
Who’s excited to imbibe in a pint of butterbeer at this Cincinnati, Ohio, pop-up? Grab your broomstick and fly on down to Pennifold’s Pub to celebrate the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter before Oct. 31.
