Building a Pittsburgh bar, brick by brick by brick

Ever get jealous of kids building skyscrapers, forts, planes and cars from their colorful Lego sets? Wish you could still stack, snap and construct your own visions with those childhood toys?
The pop-up event Brick Bar invites grown-ups to play again, bringing what it calls its mobile “nostalgia trip” to Pittsburgh this weekend.
Grown-ups can enjoy table tennis — on a table built with more than 22,000 Lego bricks — a wishing well and other sculptures assembled from plastic Lego bricks, small and large.
The Brick Bar arrives Friday at the SouthSide Works, 424 S. 27th St.
Visitors can purchase tickets to visit — and play at — the Brick Bar for 90-minute sessions between 5-11 p.m. Feb. 21 and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Feb. 22.
A DJ will spin tunes and participants can compete for prizes, organizers say in a release.
The Brick Bar is assembled of more than 1 million blocks, and visitors can shape their own creations to make castles or ships or whatever their imagination allows.
Ticket prices, from $15-$25, also include entry to the bar.
Those under the age of 21 must be accompanied by an adult prior to 6 p.m.
