Evening Forkers!

May the fork be with you, happy first day of May.

After a short hiatus, we’re back! Going forward, we’ll be publishing every other week to keep things sustainable (and still delicious).

We have an exciting month ahead, with some openings of both independent and famed franchise spots, we have Mother's Day events and some free community events too.

😍 “Holy Fork, That's Good!”

🍸 Nanny & Bulls: Already open on Barton, Nanny & Bulls has quickly become a favourite for those looking for a cozy bar to spend some time in. Their specialty is their creative cocktails, but they do have a snack menu too. 627 Barton St E, Hamilton, ON
