Yelp Albuquerque (www.yelp.com/albuquerque) in partnership with Instagram local fan page Breaking Bad Locations (http://instagram.com/breakingbadlocations) announced a series of Watch Parties for the final eight episodes of the award-winning television show, August 11– September 29. The party kicks off at Uptown Bar & Grill with show-themed beverage and dining options, and the final episode will be seen at Hotel Albuquerque. Throughout the run, parties will be held at Albuquerque’s signature venues and some locations where the show was filmed.
All parties are free to the public and do not require reservations to attend. Many of the venue will include booths from local businesses that specialize in Breaking Bad products, merchandise and inspired artistic work. Many parties will feature discussions and guest appearances by local actors and talent that contributed to the series. Baillos is sponsoring and will provide visual and technical support.
Marble Brewery has already received national attention (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/25/breaking-bad-beer-heisenberg-dark_n_3498773.html) for its contribution to the watch parties, a limited release of two craft beers, the Heisenberg Dark and Walt’s White Lie. Other breweries are joining in, including Il Vicino Canteen and Kelly’s Brew Pub. Artisan food trucks are dishing up show-themed dining options all season long.
