What we drink in the shadows...

For years, we've loved transforming Ordinary every summer to celebrate the warmer months. We've previously turned our space into a big-top circus, the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks, a board game murder mansion, and various quirky Wes Anderson film sets.

This year, we're embracing the darkness. While many places offer patios, gardens, rooftops, verandas, terraces, decks, courtyards, balconies, or even windows and sunlight for summer, we don't. Instead, we're heading in the opposite direction and "vamping up" the oldest, coldest, darkest bar around for "What We Drink in the Shadows." This vampire-themed experience will run for the next four months.
