We got broken into early this morning. Luckily nobody was on-site at the time and they didn't do too much physical damage. But they took a ton of top shelf whiskies. So all you fancy whiskey drinkers are going to be disappointed next time you come in. #fuck2020

From an email:
“Corduroy and Baby Wale have opened a pop up in the alley behind the restaurants called Clos Du Roy. A clos is a walled in vineyard and this is a walled in patio. A new mural wraps around the back of the buildings and gives it some life. We have fire pits and marshmallows are coming soon. The menu is more Corduroy than Baby Wale right now. Weather permitting Clos Du Roy will be open 7 nights a week until the cold comes.” (more…)
