Burger Bar is home to my favorite art installation of the season. Gritty and sweet, but never saccharine, this piece (I think itâs called âPublic Restroomâ??) explores themes as diverse and wide-ranging as economic insecurity and stratification of wealth, original sin, identity, and some chick named Linda. For me, itâs a Canât Miss!
The notable centerpiece of this installation is a portrait of a young woman with haunting eyes. Her spirit has unfortunately followed me home and cannot be eradicated from my apartment. I will say that she makes excellent egg salad sandwiches for a ghost, especially considering her age, which I assume is only six or seven years old. (She has declined to answer this and all other questions.) Whenever I have house guests, she throws my Siamese cat at them. This is upsetting for my Siamese cat and my house guests. I think itâs out of boredom rather than spite. Still, not ideal.
In conclusion, the art installation at Burger Bar is a must see. I would urge anyone reading this to check it out, particularly because I think itâs likely this girl can only haunt one person at a time. I would like that person to stop being me.
Look into her eyes and gaze upon their mysteries! Such as: Why do all her egg salad sandwiches include vinegar? And why does that taste so good? Did everyone in the 1880âs just put vinegar in their egg salad sandwiches? Why is her aim so accurate and her throwing arm so strong? Who hurt her? Was it a Siamese cat?
Believe me, your time at Burger Bar will leave you with more questions than answers. And thatâs a good thing - at least, it is if you like art that makes you think critically and/or being haunted by a...
   Read more5 stars to Nicky and the gentleman at the door tonight. Rarely do you feel welcome enough to share a space with folks you don't know who treat you so well. We were treated like family- the family you want to visit. We had a blast talking with them and watching a movie. I'll be back soon. Nicky is gorgeous (so much that it hurts), sweet, and always available to hang out and be a friend. We had a great time with the bouncer just talking about movies, and he was kind enough to make sure our whitecastles turned out perfectly. I feel bad I slept on this spot, but never again. I can't wait to come back. Cheers to the entire staff, the vibe, and them opening up their spot to new people. Love you guys. -Lyndsay Rae and Dylan. Thank you for being friends and the kindness you showed us. It's not taken lightly...
   Read moreReally excited to visit here, great decor and atmosphere - at least at the start. We arrived at about 11.15pm and immediately signed up for karaoke. There were 6-7 people on the list in front of me - about a 40min wait - no problem, I thought. There were two large groups at the bar, all friendly. We cheered them as they took turns to sing. After about an hour, I began to wonder why I hadnât been called. I waited and waited while every member of both groups got up to sing, many of whom I had seen put their names down after me. After they had all sung, at nearly 1am, I was finally called to sing to an empty bar. I felt horrible. I donât know if it was because they were all the MCâs friends, or all regulars, or all white (which they were and I am not) but it was a...
