A new \u201cThe Traitors: New Blood\u201d bar experience is opening at Universal CityWalk Orlando, bringing themed cocktails, costumes and photo opportunities to Universal\u2019s Great Movie Escape.<\/p>\n

The limited-time experience officially opens Saturday, Sept. 12, with a possible soft opening Friday. Attractions Magazine spotted crews putting the finishing touches on the transformation Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The experience takes over the large bar space inside Universal\u2019s Great Movie Escape<\/a>, including its often-overlooked second-floor lounge. Guests do not need to participate in one of the venue\u2019s escape-room experiences to visit the bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Traitors: New Blood\u201d is an upcoming NBC reality competition hosted by Alan Cumming. The series places 22 everyday Americans in a Scottish castle, where contestants designated as \u201cFaithful\u201d attempt to identify the secret \u201cTraitors\u201d among them while competing for a prize fund of up to $250,000. It is a new all-civilian version of Peacock\u2019s Emmy-winning \u201cThe Traitors.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

The downstairs lobby area starts off the theming and displays for \u201cThe Traitors.\u201d Meanwhile, the upstairs bar has been transformed with dark green and gold d\u00e9cor, \u201cThe Traitors\u201d imagery, a cloaked figure and displays featuring costumes worn by Cumming.<\/p>\n

One display features a tartan look worn by Cumming and styled by Emmy winner Sam Spector. Signage says the outfit was inspired by historical Scottish fashion and custom-made in modern distressed denim.<\/p>\n

The bar will also offer themed drinks, some similar to what has been on the menu here prior to the takeover.<\/p>\n

The menu includes cocktails such as The Maven, A Murder in Plain Sight and The Secret Passage, along with a nonalcoholic drink called The Shield. The Secret Passage features Woodford Reserve bourbon, agave syrup and bitters for $20, while The Shield combines apple juice, lemon juice, hibiscus syrup and club soda for $12.50.<\/p>\n

The transformation comes just days before \u201cThe Traitors: New Blood\u201d premieres with a two-hour episode Thursday, Sept. 17, at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on NBC. Episodes will stream the following day on Peacock.<\/p>\n

Right nearby is the upcoming Fat One\u2019s Hot Do<\/a>g<\/a>s & Italian Ice<\/a> is taking over the former Hot Dog Hall of Fame location at Universal CityWalk Orlando. No betrayal here: Between \u201cThe Traitors\u201d and the upcoming Fat One\u2019s, this corner of Universal CityWalk is suddenly getting a lot more tempting.<\/p>\n
