*Dexterity High Scores*

In July 2024, Roddy Brown set three new world records on Ice Cold Beer in our arcade. Since his score is practically untouchable, we are thrilled to establish a new Top 5 leaderboard for Fire Escape & Ice Cold Beer. If you set a new score, take a picture to show the bar staff or tag us so we can show off your name!

Think you got the skills? Only the chalk will tell.

*New Fried Snack*

Goodbye buffalo cauliflower, hello fried okra! We are stoked to have this seasonal treat back on the menu. The version featured above is battered in a buttermilk dredge & served with White BBQ sauce. Our vegan version is fried, tossed in our house dry rub, & served with Abacus Gold sauce.

Today is the third Monday which means it's HOT DOG MANIA! We have delicious dawgs available as a special for today only (alongside our full regular menu).

Transparency note: We have raised prices 25¢-75¢ on a few menu items to help with rising food costs. We are also now charging 50¢ on all to-go orders. We are not gonna charge you when grabbing a box for your leftovers - our portions are way too big for that nonsense.

Soda City Pinball League is traveling our way for their finals tonight! We are stoked to cheer them on at 7pm.
