Secret Stranger Things KFC Diner Opens in Sydney Tunnel
Secret Stranger Things KFC Diner Opens in Sydney Tunnel

KFC Australia is launching a secret pop-up restaurant in an abandoned train station tunnel in Sydney, featuring revived menu items from the 1980s to celebrate the final season of Stranger Things. The world's first subterranean KFC, named 'Hawkins Fried Chicken', will open on November 28 and 29 from 12pm, offering free entry and free menu items including the new Upside Down Doubles burger.

The Upside Down Doubles features two Original Crispy fillets sandwiching a soft bun, layered with crispy bacon, cheese, and Stranger Sauce. The pop-up, located deep within Sydney's abandoned Wynyard Station Tunnels, will also serve Original Recipe Chicken buckets and new Saucy Wings from KFC's secret menu. Revived 80s items include The Works Burger and 80s Bean Salad.

Guests will journey through an immersive Stranger Things tunnel and experience a meticulously recreated 80s diner from Hawkins, Indiana, as it would have looked in 1987. The venue will feature classic 80s tunes from a vintage jukebox and arcade games. For those unable to attend, the Upside Down Double will be available nationwide from December 2 for a limited time.
