It’s a Screech-mas miracle for those who didn’t get the chance to visit Saved by the Max before it was projected to close after New Year’s Eve. Announced on Twitter this morning, the Wicker Park pop-up diner based on “Saved by the Bell” is once again extending the experience through May 2017 before taking the concept on a national tour.
“But before we hit the road, we felt it only right to have one final semester right here in Chicago,” said Dennis Haskins, aka Principal Belding, in a video announcing the extension.
The restaurant, which opened June 1, will temporarily close after Dec. 31 and re-open Jan. 6 with new menu items from executive chef Brian Fisher (who’s also behind the already-lauded Entente). Reservations for 2017 open at 11 a.m. on Dec. 22 at savedbythemax.com, where tickets are still available for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Throughout the final months, look out for celebrity guests, charity partnerships and DJ events at the pop-up, which ends May 31. The team is also asking for suggestions on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (@savedbythemax) of where to take the beloved Bayside High hangout next.
