There is nothing quite like discovering a cool, new restaurant. The food, the service and the atmosphere all contribute to that. Those are the things that make a night out with friends that much more enjoyable. So what could be more exciting than a themed restaurant? Here are seven cool pop culture themed restaurants.

1. Stay Classy New York

In New York, you can visit "Stay Classy New York", a Will Ferrell themed bar. From the decor to the drink specials, everything centers around the work of Will Ferrell. The comedic genius has many of his movies incorporated throughout the bar including classics like, "Step Brothers", "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights."

2. The Lockhart

For all my fellow Harry Potter fans out there, check out "The Lockhart" in Toronto. The bar has an expansive menu of food only fit for the best of wizards. The "potions and elixirs" or drinks as mere muggles call them, are highly raved about.

3. The Hobbit Pub

If you are fan of the "Lord of the Rings" books or movies, then you'll love this place. Located in Southampton, United Kingdom, the inside of the pub truly makes you feel like you've stepped right out of any of the Peter Jackson films. I recommend the "Frodo" cocktail because who doesn't love a mixture of vodka and lemonade?

4. Saved by the Max

During grade school, I would watch reruns of "Saved by the Bell" on TV. I was really excited to discover that there is an actual restaurant modeled after the famous eatery from the show. From the bright, neon diner decor to the food items named after the shows characters, everything about this Chicago restaurant is delightful. Book your tickets now, preppie!

5. The Central Perk, Beijing

I think it is safe to say that most of us have seen one episode of "Friends", if not the whole series. In Beijing, there is a coffee shop modeled after the famous meeting place of our favorite friends - Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Monica and Chandler. TV's play reruns of the show 24/7 and you can even pet a "smelly cat." This place is perfect for all of those people who just wish they could be a part of the "Friends" clique.

6. Donny Dirk's Zombie Den

For fans of the horror comedy genre, you'll instantly recognize the movie, "Shaun of the Dead." In Minneapolis, there is a restaurant in honor of the movie called "Donny Dirk's Zombie Den." Hide out in the bar and imagine your hiding out from zombies instead. Plus, the waiters and waitresses dress up like Simon Pegg's character from the movie to enhance the whole experience.

7. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

In various locations across the country, including Baltimore, Charleston and Long Beach, enjoy some tasty food at "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co." Inspired by the movie, "Forrest Gump", this restaurant chain serves delicious seafood. Run like Forrest Gump to your nearest Bubba Gump's today!
