BACK IN TIME

The Portside Pub is going way back to a time when high waisted jeans were the bomb (wait… they still are). Think music on vinyl and $4 Jameson that will have you shaking your hair like you just don’t care. The party goes down on Thursday, March 24 at 8pm. Find out more here.

BirdsBeetsWHEN ONE DOOR OPENS…

After a quick kitchen upgrade, Bao Down is back and serving something new – Poke Bowls! We’re talking lettuce, carrots, daikon, ginger, bean sprouts, pea shoots, avocado, pineapple, cucumber, scallions, rice noodles and tuna under sesame sweet soy or gochujang mayo. Across the street, Birds & the Beets will be closed until Thursday for some renovations of their own.
