That’s where you’ll find a _Saved by the Bell_\-themed bar and diner, which will be open during the month of June. The restaurant will be called “Saved By The Max,” inspired, of course, by the _Saved by the Bell_ gang’s [favorite hangout](http://savedbythebell.wikia.com/wiki/The%5FMax). The sitcom took place in sunny California, not Chicago, but we’re sure the creators will do their best to recreate the laid-back Cali vibes. According to [a Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/events/942955415760073/), the pop-up diner will serve items like AC Sliders, Preppy BLT, Macaroni & Screech, Belding Fries and Lisa Turtle Milkshake. It will also serve alcohol, because those of us who watched _Saved by the Bell_ as youngsters are definitely of legal drinking age now. Events will include daily costume contests (with the chance to win $100), themed karaoke, trivia and dance parties. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4215584/saved-by-the-bell-themed-diner-chicago/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4215584/saved-by-the-bell-themed-diner-chicago/"},"headline":"A Saved by the Bell-Themed Diner Is Coming to Chicago","datePublished":"2016-02-10T16:58:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:55.257Z","description":"The menu will include AC Sliders and Macaroni & Screech","url":"https://time.com/4215584/saved-by-the-bell-themed-diner-chicago/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb003ec2bfc4f2d49/69887cee0b72e37b576e810c/gettyimages-138440834.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb003ec2bfc4f2d49/69887cee0b72e37b576e810c/gettyimages-138440834.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saved by the Bell","caption":"Saved by the Bell","creditText":"NBC— Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4215584/saved-by-the-bell-themed-diner-chicago/","name":"A Saved by the Bell-Themed Diner Is Coming to Chicago"}}]}] ```
