MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Japanese multinational video game company Nintendo is known for introducing the world to characters like Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Zelda and Link, among others.

The Sugar Maple, a Milwaukee bar and community center since 2008, will soon immerse visitors in the world of Nintendo with its event named "Bartendo."

Spanning from Thursday, Oct. 19 to Sunday, Oct. 22, the gathering aims to celebrate all things Nintendo.

Tatiana’s Tiny Zoo will present real reptiles on Sunday afternoon. A variety of themed cocktails, mocktails, and a distinctive sour IPA, "Wonkey Kong", will be served to quench thirsts. Limited edition merchandise designed by Harrison Browning will be available for those eager to take a piece of Bartendo home.
