Paramount+ is bringing The Lodge back to San Diego – and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and more immersive than ever. Set once again at Happy Does (340 Fifth Ave) in the heart of the historic Gaslamp District, The Lodge returns for its third SDCC appearance from Wednesday, July 23 through Sunday, July 27, transforming the beloved bar into an expansive fan experience celebrating Paramount+’s most iconic franchises and newest hits.

The Lodge has already drawn tens of thousands of fans across the country this year as part of its third annual national tour. Now, for its fourth stop, the San Diego takeover promises to be a Comic-Con favorite—whether you have a badge or not. Admission is free with a reservation (and a standby line will be available daily).
