Whippoorwill and Easy Luck's "Wings Nights" summer series is one of our favorite places to get chicken wings minus the cluck. The crew of the dual-personality building (coffee on the left, beer on the right) does a lot of prep, sourcing their vegan protein from Dong A Co. Oriental Supermarket, making their sauces from scratch and grilling to order in their parking lot. They're known to get creative with the sauces, playing with rich flavors from around the world, and all for generous portions at reasonable prices. Whippoorwill & Easy Luck events also build community; they've mastered the mix of cozy backyard hang vibes combined with that bar where everyone knows your name. The food is delicious, the beer and wine plentiful, and the ratio of adult-children-puppies in attendance is peak perfection.
