Tattoo flash pop-up at Merv's Bar with designs priced $30 to $60 depending on size and design, and modifications available.
Opens at 10am as a proper cafe, then flips to bar mode with $2 pool, free darts, and a kitchen that stays serious all day (birria sandwich with jack and a side of consomme punches way above its $14 price tag.) Thursday karaoke packs the room, VHS tapes line the shelves behind the counter, and somehow it all works seven days a week.
Smoky, spicy, and served with ranch and crumbled bacon.
A classic espresso martini -- vodka, espresso, and coffee liqueur, served strong and rich
Smoky buttermilk-brined chicken with Buffalo sauce and pepper jack.
