A real-life The Drunken Clam from Family Guy is coming to Boston this July
After 23 seasons of classic animated sitcom Family Guy, The Drunken Clam—the go-to watering hole for Peter Griffin and his friends in Quahog, Rhode Island—certainly feels like a real bar, even though it's an entirely fictional place. That is, until now: starting Wednesday, July 18, Family Guy' s beloved TV bar will leap off the screen as popular Boston restaurant West End Johnnies (138 Portland Street) gets transformed into the Quahog hangout. Yes, after similar successful events in Los Angeles and Houston, the team at Bucket Listers is bringing a fully interactive recreation of The Drunken Clam to the East Coast, in honor of one of television's most celebrated adult animated series. Guests will be fully immersed in The Clam, complete with its iconic neon sign, red-leather booths and themed signature cocktails, including "The No No Noooo" (reposado tequila, watermelon, lemon, agave and tajin), the "Shut Up Meg" (infused gin, honey, lemon and thyme), the "Cool Whip" (vodka, espresso blend, Mr. Black and whipped cream) and the "Pewterschmidt Industries" (bonded bourbon, peach liqueur, lime, basil and Topo Chico). Similarly, the "Eat My Junk" food menu—created by MasterChef finalist and Chopped champion Becky Brown—features creative twists on classic moments from the show, such as the Good Old Fashioned Value Burger and Greased Up Deaf Fries. And along with numerous photo opportunities, attendees will be able to partake in Family Guy -themed trivia and karaoke nights and shop a merchandise store full of exclusive Family Guy goodies. 'Peter and the guys have made thousands of dumb decisions at The Drunken Clam on Family Guy," said the show's executive producers Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin, per a press release. "This is your chance to make a few dumb decisions of your own!"

Fortnite leak hints at Simpsons mini-season and major roadmap shake-up
Image via Epic Games A wave of new Fortnite leaks has surfaced online, teasing a lineup of upcoming content that includes themed seasons, new locations, and possibly the long-awaited Simpsons collaboration. The leak, believed to be sourced from an insider, has excited fans across the globe, revealing a roadmap packed with surprises all the way into Chapter 7. While Epic Games has yet to confirm anything officially, multiple Fortnite leakers, including trusted names like @SpushFNBR - have shared extensive details that hint at a series of themed updates, including a superhero academy season and a 'Bug Invasion' theme, leading into a mini-season centred around The Simpsons. Operation Sindoor 'Did not want to...': Pak def min gives absurd excuse for army's failure to withstand Op Sindoor Blackouts, sirens & Pak's failed attacks: 10 things that happened in the last 36 hrs '1971 war was not remotely as terrifying': Residents of border areas shell-shocked Springfield may be coming to Fortnite According to the leak, Fortnite's Mini-Season 2 - expected later this year, could revolve around The Simpsons, with the town of Springfield possibly arriving as a new Point of Interest (POI). Though details are scarce, there's speculation that iconic locations like the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Krusty Burger, and Moe's Tavern could feature in the game. This wouldn't be Fortnite's first adult animation collaboration. Past crossovers have included Family Guy's Peter Griffin and characters from Futurama, and Epic's $1.5 billion partnership with Disney in 2024 further fuels expectations for an ambitious Simpsons tie-in. If true, this would mark a significant moment in Fortnite's long history of pop culture collaborations, with fans eager to see characters like Homer, Bart, and Marge enter the battle royale universe. Some reports even suggest Homer Simpson could headline the season's Battle Pass. A stacked roadmap into 2026 The leaked roadmap outlines content well beyond the Simpsons mini-season . Chapter 6 Season 3 is expected to focus on a Superhero Academy theme, with Midas returning as a central figure and a Superman mythic power-up debuting alongside the Fortress of Solitude as a new POI. Chapter 6 Season 4 reportedly brings a 'Bug Invasion' theme, while Chapter 7 may begin with a city life and gala aesthetic, followed by a Norse mythology theme in Season 2. A Marvel-themed mini-season is also expected to return in 2026, complete with symbiote features. In addition to new seasons and characters, concerts are expected to make a return next year, with two major events also planned for 2025. While all this information remains unconfirmed, fans won't have to wait long. Fortnite's current Star Wars mini-season ends on June 7, and Epic is expected to announce what's next shortly after.
