Walter's Coffee Roastery in Instanbul, Turkey
While the Breaking Bad London pop-up bar operated out of an RV similar to the one Walter turned into a meth lab, this Istanbul version set up shop in an actual building with science-y details like a giant periodic table on the wall, beverages served in beakers and the coffee shop's employees donning hazmat uniforms.

George's Bar in Melbourne, Australia
"No soup for you!" Instead, this George Costanza-themed bar serves up toasties (Aussie speak for "sandwiches"). If, for example, you've always wanted to pretend you're an architect (/marine biologist/importer-exporter/latex salesman), the "Art Vandelay" toastie with double cheese may just be for you. On the beverage side, you can get yourself one of their specialty cocktails like the "Marisa Tomei" (George's inexplicable-but-fleeting secret lover) or the "Hand Model" (his equally short-lived career path).
