A Karen's Diner pop-up experience is coming to Edmonton this spring
Karen’s Diner — an interactive, immersive, and unique dining experience — is coming to Edmonton this spring.
These fun dining adventures have been making their mark in Alberta over the last few years, from Peter Pan-themed Neverland cocktail pop-ups to Wizard-themed mini-golf bars.
And now, coming to Edmonton in May is a diner with great food and Karen-level rudeness.
Karen’s Diner is brought to us from the same Australia-based brand that organizes Hidden pop-up experiences around the world, but this time the experience you’re paying for is a bunch of rude “Karens” as servers.
The concept is a 1950s-style diner with burgers, floats, and other classic diner food – as well as a few strong cocktails – fully staffed by some less-than-pleasant waiters.
Promising an “absurdly fun experience,” guests will not only enjoy good food and drinks alongside some rudeness but they’ll also be forced to play some games, too.
The pop-up experience is already operating in several Australian cities, with plans to open locations in Victoria and Toronto, as well as a handful of other North American cities.

Bookings will be required for the Edmonton dining experience, with groups of up to four at each table.
You can book right now, with the pop-up running in the Canadian Brewhouse from May 6 to 14.
Also, anyone who is actually named Karen (with the ID to prove it) will get a free drink.
Recruit your friends to tag along for a different kind of old-school diner experience – just don’t complain to the manager.
