The Tipsy Princess: An Immersive Cocktail Pop-Up Experience in Pittsburgh
Immersive experiences are redefining how guests engage with events and The Tipsy Princess offers a polished take on the trend. Created and produced locally in Pittsburgh by Kristen Kane Events, this interactive princess themed cocktail pop-up bar blends imaginative design, character-driven moments, and curated beverages into a thoughtfully paced social experience.
Taking place Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from February 6–22, The Tipsy Princess transforms a private venue inside Threadbare Cider House in Pittsburgh into a fully styled environment designed for connection, interaction, and discovery. Each session is ticketed and timed, ensuring the experience remains intimate, comfortable, and intentionally paced.
What Is The Tipsy Princess?
The Tipsy Princess is a 21+ immersive cocktail pop-up experience in Pittsburgh where guests are invited into a whimsical, character-led environment. Rather than a traditional bar or seated show, the experience unfolds through movement, conversation, and optional participation.
The “princesses” are interactive hosts who guide the tone of the event through light games, clever banter, and subtle storytelling. Guests are free to engage at their own pace — observing, participating, or simply enjoying the atmosphere.
This is not a bar crawl and not a scripted performance. It is a layered social experience designed to feel playful without being overproduced.
What’s Included With Your Ticket
Each ticket to The Tipsy Princess immersive pop-up includes:
90-minute immersive cocktail experience
One complimentary cocktail or mocktail, courtesy of Wigle Whiskey
Access to custom themed décor and styled photo moments
Ongoing character interaction throughout the event
Full brunch menu included on Sunday sessions
Additional craft cocktails, mocktails, and ales are available for purchase. Beverage offerings are developed in collaboration with Wigle Whiskey, adding a distinctly local Pittsburgh element to the experience.
Sunday sessions also feature a full brunch menu, offering guests the option to enjoy the immersive environment in a relaxed daytime setting.
The Venue: A Private Pittsburgh Setting
The experience takes place inside the former Threadbare Cider House, currently closed to the public and used exclusively for private events. Located on Pittsburgh’s North Side, the venue provides free, private parking and a sense of separation from traditional nightlife.
This setting allows The Tipsy Princess to feel contained and intentional — an immersive environment where guests can settle in, explore, and enjoy without distraction.
February Dates, Special Weekends & Sunday Sessions
While the immersive cocktail experience is the foundation, The Tipsy Princess runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout February, including dates that align with Valentine’s Day weekend and Galentine’s celebrations. The event is well suited for couples, friend groups, birthdays, and small group outings.
Sunday sessions offer a delicious brunch experience, providing an alternative for guests who prefer daytime events while still enjoying the same immersive design and character interactions.
