10 TV-themed restaurants we would like to see created
4. Riverdale
For anyone who has watched Riverdale, Pop’s Chock’ Lit Shoppe diner is a staple. Who hasn’t wanted to visit Pop’s to have a few burgers and some shakes with Archie, Cheryl, Betty, and the rest of the gang? With Riverdale TV-themed restaurants, you could finally have your chance!
The restaurant could be styled after Pop’s. The metal outside, the bright lighting, the neon signs, the leather booths, the counter, and of course, the food. As with any good diner, Riverdale TV-themed restaurants would need plenty of greasy eats. Burgers, french fries, and onion rings, oh my!
Anything you would expect to find at a diner including a meatloaf sandwich, a good piece of pie, or a thick milkshake would all be available.
But a Riverdale restaurant has to be more than just a re-creation of the diner in the show.
It has to include some of the most iconic moments as well. Perhaps there is a jukebox that plays all the songs that have been sung on the show (or there could be occasional live music), the waiters could all wear some kind of Riverdale apparel (i.e. a Serpent jackets), or the diner could have spooky elements because while the show is about teenagers, it has an incredibly dark vibe.
Some of the iconic props from the show could be spread around the diner as well! Archie’s baseball bat, Jarhead’s bike, Cheryl’s archery set, and the Vixens’s pom-poms would be great additions that any true fan would recognize.
The diner is a staple to the people of Riverdale and iconic for the fans. The first time we see Pop’s diner is in the very first episode. It’s when Veronica is getting takeout to bring back to where her mom and her are staying and she meets Archie and Betty for the first time. Who wouldn’t want to sit where the classic trio meets for the first time??
