Warped Pour rocks downtown Orlando's Wall Street
Bartenders TJ Harris and Maxwell Helman — while working at a downtown Orlando pub Dec. 12 — decided it was time for a change.
“We needed to do something new,” Helman said. “We had to get out of there.”
It was during that conversation Helman dreamed up the name of a fantasy bar: Warped Pour.
Honoring the bands who’ve performed at Warped Tour, the two imagined music and décor that would match the rock vibes of the well-known traveling music festival. The far-reaching fandom of bands like Green Day, Blink-182, Sum 41, Limp Bizkit, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore and others would draw a crowd, they thought.
