The Nolen Rooftop
Bar brunch
Bar brunch isn’t just something you do; it’s where the weekend happens. It’s that sweet overlap of hangover cures, catch-ups, and cocktails that somehow turns into a whole afternoon. You show up for the pancakes, stay for the patio, and leave only after debating one more round (spoiler: you’re getting another round).
The menu usually leans bold: crispy chicken sandwiches dripping in hot honey, chilaquiles with a proper kick, and breakfast burritos that mean business. There’s always something cheeky, like cereal-crusted French toast or a “hangover burger” piled high with bacon, egg, and zero shame. And the drinks? Bar brunch doesn’t hold back. Expect bottomless bubbles, loaded Bloody Marys with skewers of snacks, and house cocktails that were clearly made for Instagram.
From that unassuming dive with killer biscuits to the rooftop bar blasting 2000s hip-hop, bar brunch is part comfort, part chaos—in the best way. It’s where Sundays get their second wind, and where “just a quick bite” turns into your favorite part of the week.
