Meow Wolf Grapevine’s is a whirling, seemingly extra-terrestial space that is a required experience for all space cadets and cosmic travelers in the DFW area. Whether or not you’ve already entered the portal, Meow Wolf’s latest addition requires another visit for all: the new Prime Materia multisensory experience and bar.
Housed inside The Real Unreal exhibition, Prime Materia is a brand new interactive bar space inside Meow Wolf. As an expansion of the always expanding narrative world of the exhibition, Prime Materia is described as part cocktail bar, part snack shack, and part interactive installation.
Narratively speaking, the bar at the Lamp Shop Alley has experienced an invasion of the “Gizmo_Mancers”, a boozy bunch bent on using a concoction of alchemy and coding technology to conjure powerful (and non-powerful aka N/A) elixers. Such include the following: Overclocked Margarita, Cold Brew Tinctre, and Elderberry Gin Potion.
Prime Materia also serves as a snack station, where weary visitors can refuel on light bites like colorful popcorn and pretzel bites. Souvenirs are also available on site if so inclined.
In addition to a dizzying array of “lore-infused elixers”, glowing libations, and snacking opportunities, the new experience allows visitors to engage with the exhibition on a deeper level, unlocking the exhibitions secrets via conversation, custom drinks, and environmental details.
“Prime Materia is an exciting step forward for Meow Wolf Grapevine,” said Meow Wolf Grapevine’s General Manager Jamie Weaver-Garia in a press release.
“Introducing our first in-exhibition bar allows us to expand how
guests engage with The Real Unreal while offering something truly unique to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It deepens the experience, invites repeat visits, and shows how we continue to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling.”
Access to Prime Materia in Meow Wolf Grapevine is available to all ticket holders to Meow Wolf Grapevine. The venue is located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Pkwy, Grapevine, TX 76051.
