Clare’s Cosmopolitan is a classic cosmopolitan, just like the gals on ‘Sex in the City.’ Crisp and refreshing!

Dancin’ Eric Hanson’s Fuzzy Navel is a classic ’90’s cocktail. And we forgot just how delish peach schnapps is!

For the first time ever, Producer Ben’s Mays Island Iced Tea will be available for you to enjoy! Bartender Hailey was happy to whip a couple up for us.

For the amount of alcohol that goes in this drink, It is so light and refreshing.

K-POP DEMON HUNTERS HAPPY MEAL

March 31, 2026 by Clare Duffy

The breakfast meal is themed for the “Saja Boys.” It’s an Egg McMuffin with a Spicy Saja sauce inspired by the fires of Gwi-ma!

It is HOT! Clare and Eric were a little surprised by just how spicy that Saja Sauce was.

The Huntr/x Meal is more of a lunch/dinner meal. There’s special Ramyeon shaker fries, and 2 different dipping sauces.

This meal is FIRE! The shaker fries are savory and delicious. And that purple “Demon” sauce? AMAZING!

The Derpy McFlurry has wildberry sauce and popping boba with vanilla ice cream. So good!
