Before the Date…
In a neighborhood of the city that seems to be begging anyone to come through their doors it’s a surprise that so many doors seem to be hidden from plain sight. Taking from the classic adage that “everyone wants what they can’t have” it is an obvious place to start with a certain order of business in mind. From throw backs to the 70’s to throwbacks on Endor your night sneaks in and out of some interesting concealed hangouts.
So gather your adventurous friends and prepare for a night figuring out this hidden agenda.
St0p #1: 7pm
What to Know
If this isn’t your first time here let someone else figure out the way in. Always good to experience it for the first time again.
Happy hour runs from 5pm-8pm Mon-Fri & 2pm-6pm Sat-Sun with $6 Old Fashions and $3 beers.
What to order: the Good Times Melt. The food is on the back deck outside.
As for gaming, the pucks for the shuffleboard are with the bartender in that same room.

GALACTIC EXPLORATION
in a land far far away
What to Know
This bar opened in April 2017 as a pop up dedicated to the famous cantina scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the first one). It became so popular that they decided to make it permanent.
A self proclaimed “geek bar” they boast a strict no bullying policy and the #scifisafehouse.
What to order: Dracarys, Halo First Player Shooters, or a Drink of Many Things where you roll the dice to decide.
St0p #4: 9:30PM
LATE DINNER & A SHOW
in a magical hideaway
What to Know
Enter through the door on Hudson Ave. and ask for a seat right away. If there is a short wait it’s perfect timing to grab a drink at the bar.
Keep your eyes peeled for the well dressed magicians cruising about the bar. They most likely will stop by your dinner table but good to sneak in an early “show”.
What to order: Lettuce cups, pad see ewe, and the orange chicken. Definitely the ornage chicken.
The post dinner live music mission is the sneakiest part. A band usually starts up right after 10:30pm. Securing a table is key which you can do by walking past the left side of the bar, across the front hall into the “stage room.”
