    Jan 21 2026

    Our next No Dishes Happy Hour event is coming up on Tuesday February 10th, 4:30-6:30, at the Ivy! We've partnered with Bonafide Bites to offer an incredible menu for this exclusive event with limited tickets available. In this special bonus episode, we sit down with Sam & Josh from Bonafide Bites to delve into what they'll be offering, why they wanted to partner after attending our first Happy Hour event, and what separates them from other catering services in town. Amazing local artist Adam Long will be there doing live art demos and incredibly talented local musician Charlie Jesseph will be performing an acoustic set. We initially had only 70 tickets available, but after quickly almost selling out, we've up'ed it to 85. This event will sell out so don't hesitate and get your tickets today!
