They currently have the place set up as a Halloween Pop-Up Bar and apparently they turn it into a Christmas theme when the holidays roll around. I did enJOY the tasty wings on Wing Wednesday. The price can't be beat at $.25 per wing, yeppp, a quarter per wing on Wednesdays!! The wings were meaty and not stingy at all. They offer 3 different sauces. I ordered their house sauce which is like a golden BBQ sauce, along with the regular BBQ sauce. One of the gentlemen serving me at the bar brought my wings to me with ranch as well (although I didn't ask for it.) I was charged $.50 for the 3rd sauce. The drink I ordered was the Cotton Candy Carnage, but I showed their Instagram post to one of the bartenders and he said it was the Blue Razz Riot. I wanted the Blue Razz, but the Cotton Candy drink was good! The syringe made it super cool, lol. The next day I went back with a coworker to try the $1 smashburgers I kept seeing on their Insta. Imagine our disappointment when we were told that they stopped it last week!!! Say whaaat?!?!? The bartender told us they will probably bring it back, but I guess they weren't making any money off that promo since people were literally coming in to order like 5 at a time without any alcohol drinks. Too bad, so sad. It's still on the menu, though!! We ended up ordering the BBQ Flatbread which was pretty tasty and very filling. I ended up taking 3 slices home to have for lunch the next day. The margaritas we ordered were alright. They were $10, so no biggie there. Coworker also ordered a Last Laugh and that was perf on the alcohol! Service was lacking on the first day, as I walked into the place and helped myself to a seat at the bar. No one greeted me or offered a menu, so after about 5 minutes sitting there, I walked back to the door and geabbed one for myself. They were not busy at all, the crowd started to roll in around 6 pm. I also had to ask for my bill. Would I go again? Yes, but I hope they bring the smashburgers back because I really want to try them!! If they could improve their service to be more attentive, that would be great and I'll happily edit my review. Until then, "it is what it is." Check them out! If anything, the decor and the drinks really make this place. One more thing: they charge you a 4% "venue fee" which is less than a dollar, so whatevs... but just know I warned you, lol. And the restrooms are RON-Worthy!! Lol

The Bao they serve consist of Soft Shell Crab Bao sweet + sour mayo, cucumber, & thai chili dipping sauce Crispy Chicken Bao shredded cabbage & red jalapeno honey Breakfast Bao smoked bacon, soft scrambled egg, roasted tomato, avocado, & broccoli shoots Pork Belly Bao pickled apple, hoisin, & cilantro The only one I have not tried is the pork belly. My favorite so far is the crispy chicken. Everything is so fresh and the bao buns are the perfect fluffy container for the delicious ingredients. I also want to point out that these 2 are so welcoming and engage with their customers. You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing and it shows in their food. Go find them at the farmers market and throw them some support! You will be glad you did.

My favorite was the pork belly for sure: generous portion of tender and crispy pork belly with delicious toppings on a soft bao bun. The acidity of the pickled apple complimented the sweet and salty pork really well. Each bao is assembled with care, you can not only see it, you can also taste it. I need to try the soft shell crab bao next time!

The shop is spacious and the items were all very unique and would make cute or funny gifts. They could probably fit some more items in this space for sale but it was a fun store to browse in while we were at Cityscape. The installation at the shop when I was here was Saskia Jordá's Cacerolazo. If you're at Cityscape it's worth a stop since you get a shopping experience and get to see some modern art all in the same place.
