George Bailey is coming to Brookfield for the Beds Plus third annual “It’s a Wonderful Life” pop-up bar.

Come and get your wings from Nick to help those in need of “a couple of decent rooms and a bath.” Beds Plus works to reduce and end homelessness in your community.

The pop-up event is set for December 9 at Joe’s Saloon, 9220 W. 47th Street in Brookfield, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. This eagerly awaited event promises to bring the heartwarming feel of the iconic film to life.

Guests will step into the world of Bedford Falls, experiencing movie scene re-enactments, meticulously decorated spaces reminiscent of Nick and Martini’s, and the classic film’s timeless charm.

“Just as ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ highlights compassion and second chances, Beds Plus provides a similar narrative for individuals and families experiencing homelessness,” Erin Molek, Development Director of Beds Plus shares.

Event Highlights:

  • Experience Martini’s & Nick’s, exquisitely recreated spaces.
  • Enjoy an open bar with movie-inspired cocktails and delectable snacks.
  • Dress as your favorite ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ character, adding to the festive atmosphere.
  • Delight in live re-enactments of iconic scenes from the film.
  • Sip on Clarence’s flaming rum punch drink, a nod to the film’s beloved character.
  • Test your knowledge of the film with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ trivia.

This event promises a memorable evening where attendees can celebrate the holiday season in true Bedford Falls-style, while supporting Beds Plus mission to provide shelter, support, and hope to individuals experiencing homelessness.

Join them at Joe’s Saloon with doors opening at 7 p.m.
