Thanks to all who’ve been emailing and messaging us updates about the old Uprising Muffin space.

“Broccoli Bar is a place to gather.
A place to share ideas. To inspire change.

Broccoli Bar is a Broccoli City and &pizza joint.”

From Broccoli Bar:

“Opening to the public 10/26, Broccoli Bar is a joint &pizza/Broccoli City collaborative bar venue in Shaw that will serve as a gathering place to bring people together over ideas, cocktails, good music and pizza.
