Description
Chef Michael Schulson's menu centers on dishes built for sharing, turning out crispy pork belly bao, dumplings, and robatayaki skewers alongside cocktails. Inside, the room combines rich textures with communal seating facing 13th Street, driving an energetic dining room dynamic where opinions on noise levels and table spacing vary.
Tucked down an adjacent chain-link alley lined with a mural by local artist Ali M Williams, Graffiti Bar provides an enclosed 30-seat patio equipped with heating, air conditioning, and a TV for sports fans year-round.
