You Can Drink ''Blood Bags'' IRL At Mystic Grill, 'The Vampire Diaries'  Restaurant In Georgia

The Vampire Diaries fans have an entire town where they can live out their Mystic Falls fantasies on a whim because the hit TV show The Vampire Diaries actually has Georgian roots.

Covington, Georgia, is a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta, which has served as the primary filming location for the long-running nosferatu series since the very first season.

Locals have chosen to embrace the publicity and even open a restaurant directly inspired by the show.

Fans passing through town are welcomed into an IRL Mystic Grill where they can enjoy Southern-style plates, and even drink a "Blood Bag." (No need to worry if you're squeamish, they are actually filled with fruit punch... but no one needs to know!)

The bags are available in The Alley Gift Shop, which is also home to the Mystic Museum located directly below the restaurant. Here, fans can find a variety of souvenirs for sale, as well as props and wardrobes from the show on display in the museum.

Afterward, if you still have a raging appetite, you can indulge in Southern classics upstairs. Mystic Grill offers staples like fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and sweet tea fried chicken.

If you are looking for more of the original filming locations, Mystic Falls Tours offers guided access to historic sites featured in the original series.
