When the Anderson opened in March 2016, the lounge offered cocktails designed by Bar Lab, along with food, in a cool ’80s vibe.
After a couple of years, however, the bar needed a refresh. Unlike Bar Lab’s big sister, Broken Shaker, the Anderson didn’t change out its cocktails regularly.
Finally, the lounge has a new menu. When the Anderson opened, the menu was printed in zine form, taking style cues from the days of Robert Palmer videos and Grace Jones photo shoots.
The revamped menu still pays homage to the ’80s by way of classic videogames. Page turning brings glimpses of childhood friends such as Mario Bros., Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong.
