It’s what the child in you has been waiting for.

A bar made entirely from Lego is on its way to London, with one million blocks currently being transported to the city for its construction.

While the details remain shrouded in secrecy, the pop-up bar is set to open in spring 2018 and will feature an array of lego sculptures for fans to feast their eyes upon.

Naturally, there will also be an abundance of lego blocks lying around for visitors to build into their own booze-fuelled creations.

According to Legobar’s website, there will also be a local DJ on-site providing guests with ample entertainment while they drink/build/attempt to do both at the same time.

“How long has it been since you pulled out your old Legosets, rounded up your friends and sat around creating and crafting castles, ships and whatever else you can imagine?" the site reads.

"If you’ve been waiting for an excuse, or your parents have given away your once beloved blocks this new pop up Adult playground might be just what you’re looking for."

Tickets for the bar will be sold on a first come first serve basis and while none have been released at this stage, Legobar are encouraging eager Lego aficionados to register their interest online now to avoid disappointment.

The innovative concept isn't exclusive to London either.

In fact, Legobars are set to crop up in cities around the world, with sites coming to Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Cheers to that.
