pjbear05 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 A former brewpub I frequented closed down its stand alone operation to become part of the Sistrunk Marketplace, a food hall outside of downtown Ft. Lauderdale. I decided to check it out. They do online reservations to insure social distancing, which was no big deal. Arrived and did valet parking, which posted a link to my phone for when I was ready to leave. Walked in and the guy at the front desk handled the reservation and explained things; walk up and order at one of the places, or sit down somewhere and order via phone QR code. Sat down at the brewpub bar, ordered a beer, and looked around. A guy on solo guitar/drum machine was performing Seger/Marley/Eagles/etc. Brought up the codes and ordered a beer brat sandwich with kraut, which arrived super quick and was well done. The beers were great as I expected. Rauf, who runs the brewpub is a top flight brewer, and his beer runs the gamut of styles. All in all a fine afternoon, for sure! http://sistrunkmarketplace.com 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 One opened just a few minutes from where I was working just before COVID a year ago in Rancho Cucamonga. The Umai place was still under construction then. I saw a vendor of theirs at Santa Monica Pier a couple of years ago. They're basically Japanese style hot dogs. https://www.havencitymarket.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Post-Covid, I think this is how the traditional malls will be able to survive; turn it into mostly food and entertainment venues. The days where you need 18 f***ing shoe stores in one place are over. Edited December 27, 2020 by HemiBeers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company is Native Son and they got another one not too far away in the OC in Santa Ana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
