Paramount+ is bringing The Lodge back to SXSW in Austin for the second year running, offering fans an immersive and up close experience centered around their favorite shows. From March 8th to 11th, Clive Bar on Rainey Street will be transformed into a playground for Paramount+ viewers, allowing them to step into the worlds of its most popular titles.

Stepping into the Action

Fans of the upcoming “HALO” series can come face-to-face with the mystical Covenant artifact and explore props and costumes used in the show. They can even snag exclusive HALO-branded mirrored sunglasses – nothing beats sun and SX. 

There are plenty of mad skills when it comes to tattoos in the “INK MASTER” competition. If you want in on the action, then head upstairs for some fresh (airbrushed) ink and take a seat in the iconic chair and get a temporary tattoo created by skilled professionals.

Meanwhile, “STAR TREK: DISCOVERY” enthusiasts can boldly go where no SXSW attendee has gone before by stepping onto the bridge of the U.S.S. Discovery. Take a journey (and plenty of photos) on the Starfleet – we’re told that the ambient lighting and high-tech displays are otherworldly.

Beyond the Bridge

The Lodge extends beyond action and sci-fi. Fans of the critically acclaimed (and one of our favorites) “THE CHI” can step onto a recreated South Side stoop for a sweet treat.  And, if you’re craving pink, “MEAN GIRLS (2024)” will be nothing short of ‘fetch’ with a themed “The Plastics” cocktail – not to mention the infamous Burn Book.

If ‘fetch’ doesn’t quite work for you, then cheer on your favorite teams at The Paramount+ Pub. There will be plenty there to keep you busy (and hydrated) with interactive games, sports-inspired cocktails, and locker displays showcasing fan-favorite jerseys and memorabilia. 

History buffs can step into the world of “LAWMEN: BASS REEVES” and see if they’re on the right side of the law, even leaving with a U.S. Deputy Marshal badge as a souvenir. And, if you think you have what it takes to survive, then step up to the The Lodge Confessional and share your “SURVIVOR” strategies. Your musings might even make onto the show’s official social media channels.

So, head on over to the Clive Bar at the The Lodge during SXSW 2024 and geek out on a Paramount+ experience.
